a. Overhand band reach | Demonstrate functional rotator cuff activity throughout multiplanar range of motion while avoiding trapezius dominance, trunk lean, and pelvic tilt | Maintain stability |
b. Closed kinetic chain extremity stability test (CKCUEST) | Measure speed, agility, and power | 21 touches (male) or 23 touches (female) in 15 seconds |
c. Upper extremity Y balance | Using the operative arm as a stabilizer, test mobility and stability of the extremity and core; combines scapular stability and functional range of motion with core stabilization and thoracic rotation | 3 consecutive progressions |
d. One-arm hop test | Focus on stable core, maximum assessment of strength, and neuromuscular coordination | 5 repetitions |
e. Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test (PSET) | Assess posterior rotator cuff and deltoid strength | 85% of contralateral arm strength |
f. Trunk stability push-up | Stabilize spine and hips in sagittal plane during upper body symmetrical motion | 3 repetitions with control |
g. Long arm plank ball tap | Assess stability, proprioception, and endurance | 10 bidirectional taps with body control |
h. Plank weight stacking | Using the operative arm as a stabilizer, assess both proprioception and stability of the core and scapula | 4 repetitions×1 lb |
