SERA App: Progressively Engaging in Daily Activities with Your Affected Arm (Tan Tock Seng Hospital)
This guide helps patients progressively use their affected arm in daily activities once active movement is permitted, targeting specific shoulder movements through functional tasks. It provides exercises for shoulder flexion like washing hair and wiping tables, abduction/adduction through side-to-side wiping motions, external rotation via washing the back of the head, and internal rotation through back washing and shirt tucking, emphasizing gradual progression while monitoring for pain or awkward compensatory movements.
