This a GREAT refresher video! In two weeks I start my final (inpatient) clinical before graduation. Your videos have been an important part of my review and preparation since it's been a while since I've done these PROM exercises with patients in supine!

My PALS couldn't possibly have this kind of ROM done on him, so it didn't show me anything except what it would look and feel like on a normal person. I have to massage him for quite some time to get any real ROM happening and yet his arm can't be moved anything like this. You should do some video with actual ALS patients in various stages of shoulder freeze, with muscle wastage so that we can see how to do this as the carer of our loved ones
