Table 3 Traditional rehabilitation training

Wall climbing exercise

Slowly climb up the wall with hands, and then slowly return down to the original position.

Intensity: It depends on the subjective feeling of the patient—the patient feels slightly tired and slightly shortness of breath (RPE range 11 to 15).

Each exercise starts with 10 reps*3 sets, and increases 5 reps a week.

Frequency: once a day, for 6 weeks.

Time: The overall exercise time is 20–30 min.

Pendulum exercise

The healthy arm is placed on the table to support the body, while the affected arm slowly swings back and forth, side to side, and in circles.

External rotation exercise

Standing or sitting, hold a stick in hands and bend elbows, then push and pull the stick to both sides with the healthy hand, so as to do internal rotate and external rotate.
