Hello,
Yes, I can move my arm easily if assisted (passive motion). Nothing keeping it from externally rotating if I push on it, but Active (unassisted) motion stops at the same place.
If I assist my surgery arm, so that forearm is perpendicular to the floor, and then let go, it pops right back to the same spot. As hard as I try, all my might, there is just nothing there. I would think there would be some progress, some ability if it were going to get better.
all other movements of my arm are rather good already. ...elevating my arm forwards, sideways, internal rotation.
It's uncomfortable constantly fighting the elbow moving outward when I'm trying to reach for something. Deltoid is sore.
