I’m not at all this will be of help to but it helped me in so many ways for rotation.
It is an exercise where you use your arm to make a hitchhiker sign.
I could not do it at all without help from my other hand, good shoulder side.
I would rest my arm on the dining room table and perform this exercise with the help of my hand to push the arm to through out a hitchhiker thumb sign.
I now am able to several motions I couldn’t do before.
My PT. never had me perform this exercise or told me about it. I came across it on the internet when searching for answers to my limited rotations for shoulder/ arm.
Try it.
By the way I had a RTSA surgery. Several tears in my rotator cuff and extreme osteoarthritis.

That’s for the suggestion. That motion works ok but I still can’t reach the middle of the back of my head. It’s been 18 months and my deltoids just have not come back. My surgery was because my shoulder was broken in 3 pieces and rotator cuff was torn. I’m glad this worked for you and I will keep on keeping on.
