What is the purpose of this exercise?

To improve the ability to stabilize and control the shoulder joint in an open chain environment. The shoulder is ball and socket joint with the ball being the humerus (big upper arm bone) and socket being the shoulder blade.

In order the control the unsteady weight the individual performing the exercise is forced stabilize and prevent both the shoulder blade from moving excessively & the ball from moving excessively on the socket.

Why would you utilize it?

To address shoulder instability – which can be a result of poor scapular (shoulder blade) control or more commonly a result of excessive, poorly controlled movement of the head of the humerus as it moves on the socket. This control is improved here primarily by teaching the body to better utilize he rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles to keep things stable.

From a performance standpoint: Ensuring we have a stable, well controlled shoulder joint is important for the acceptance and generation of force through the arms. This means for anything athletic task (weightlifting, pitching, gymnasts, wrestling, etc.) we will improve our ability to maximize those things if we address any noted shoulder instability. With that said it will be a balancing act for certain flexibility dominant athletes (like gymnasts)

From a pain perspective: Marked shoulder instability is a fairly common contributor to shoulder pain – especially in young females or athletes like gymnasts, swimmers, cheerleaders, baseball players. In many of those cases improving shoulder stability will help improve the pain condition
