Passive ROM and water therapy. Weakness profound in upper arms is underscored by fact that motion is not possible without the flotation.

Physical therapy day one

Strength tests for hands and lower arms, passive range of motion to avoid “frozen shoulders”… Scheduled for water therapy Tuesday. No strength upper arms, range of muscle motion to elbow flexion, very limited reach and muscle coordination. Nowhere to go but up.
