The middle (middle) deltoid: Responsible for shoulder abduction (lifting the arm away from the body). The posterior (back) deltoid: Assists with shoulder extension and outward rotation.
One abduction-based exercise you probably already into your strength workouts: lateral shoulder raises (see below!), says Ashley Joi, CPT, trainer for health and fitness app Centr.
The shoulder that is injured is placed in a sling and shoulder flexion or abduction of the arm is avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery (Brewster, 1993). Avoiding movement of the shoulder joint allows the torn tendon to fully heal. [24] Once the tendon is entirely recovered, passive exercises can be implemented.
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
Compound exercises for the 'lats' typically involve elbow flexion and tend to recruit the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis for this function. Depending on the line of pull, the trapezius muscles can be recruited as well; horizontal pulling motions such as rows recruit both latissimus dorsi and trapezius heavily.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy is associated with pain over the front and side (anterolateral) of the shoulder pain that radiates towards the elbow. The pain may occur with shoulder movement above the horizontal position, shoulder flexion and abduction. [12] [13] Pain is often described as weakness. Actual muscle weakness does not correlate with ...
Deltoid muscle with superior limb in abduction. When all its fibers contract simultaneously, the deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction along the frontal plane. The arm must be medially rotated for the deltoid to have maximum effect. [13] This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi during arm ...
