Supine Cane External Rotation
Shoulder · Also called supine cane er, cane er, wand er, cane external rotation, AAROM ER
Setup
Lie on your back with your surgical elbow bent to 90 degrees and tucked at your side, holding one end of a cane or stick. Hold the other end with your healthy hand. A small towel under the elbow can add comfort.
Movement
Push the cane with your healthy hand so your surgical forearm rotates outward, away from your belly, as far as comfortable. Hold briefly, then return.
Tip
Keep your elbow pinned to your side — the forearm rotates, nothing lifts.
