Shoulder abduction is easily done at home with an exercise band. Standing while holding band across the body and the arm to exercise toward the wall hold the arm down to the side and the elbow straight and the palm at your side. With appropriate tension on the band pull the hand away from body without bending the elbow and keeping the palm pointed down. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 2 sets of 15 reps.
