Robbery with or without Resistance Bands

  • The patient is standing with their hips and knees slightly bent, elbows straight and hands holding onto resistive bands.
  • Instruct the patient to keep their elbows close to their body as they straighten the knees and hips and move their arms so that their elbows and shoulder blades are pulled down and back towards the opposite back pockets with the palms ultimately facing forward.
  • Their neck should be relaxed and they should not hold their breath during this movement.
  • Ask them to repeat the exercise 3-5 times initially then increase the number of repetitions as their strength improves.
