PT Dx: Pain c/o, ROM deficit in all shoulder motions, and strength deficit in anterior and middle deltoid limiting ability to load luggage into trunk of taxi and work as a taxi driver. Expected Functional Outcome: Able to consistently load luggage into the trunk of the taxi with 0-3/10 pain rating in 10 days. Anticipated Goals: Pain rating reduced from 8/10 to 5/10 with shoulder movements for lifting and carrying objects in 5 days. Consistent use of proper body mechanics using legs and minimizing shoulder motion for lifting, reaching, and carrying in 5 days. AROM of all movements of the shoulder will increase by 50% of the AROM measured in the initial examination for lifting, reaching, and carrying in 5 days
