Rhythmic stabilization drills are one of the foundational exercises I use to have dynamic stability. These essentially are alternating isometric contractions. They can be applied to any joint and any movement.
For the shoulder, I always start in what we call the “balanced position.” This is ~100 degrees of elevation and in the scapular plane. In this position, both the rotator cuff and deltoid are aligned to provide a force that centers the humeral head within the glenoid. So because the deltoid helps in this position, it’s often to easiest to start with shoulder patients.
The main cue here is “don’t let me move you.” That’s the key. They should not be pushing harder or softer, just meeting your resistance. As they do well and stabilize with minimal movement, you can progress the speed and resistance.
