UDSPÆNDING
(10 min)

Rotate the forearm so that the palm faces alternately up and down.

Bend and stretch the arm to the extreme position. Cautiously apply pressure in the extreme position to achieve maximum mobility.

Stand in a doorframe. Press your arms against the frame so that the front of your shoulders become increasingly stretched. Move your arms up and down the doorframe so that different parts of your muscles are stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Stand with your hands together behind your back. Draw your shoulder blades together (imagine trying to hold a pencil between your shoulder blades). Hold the position for 10 seconds and rest for 10 seconds before repeating.

STYRKE
(45 min)

Kneel facing the wall with the injured arm on a table. The tabletop must be at shoulder height. Hold the elastic with the palm facing the wall and move your elbow up and down.

Kneel facing away from the wall with the injured arm on a table. The tabletop must be at shoulder height. Hold the elastic with the back of your hand facing the wall and move your elbow up and down.

Hold an elastic band in the good arm. Take hold of the other end of the elastic with the injured arm and draw the injured arm downwards.

Put the elastic under your foot, and with the injured arm draw the other end upwards by bending your arm.

Stand with your side against a wall. Hold the elastic with the injured arm with elbow bent, upper arm 90 degrees away from your body and your hand at shoulder height. The palm of your hand should face the floor. Drawn your arm downwards and in front of your stomach.

Hold the elastic with the injured arm with elbow bent and your hand at shoulder level. Stretch your arm forwards so that the elastic is tightened.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated.

The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.
