Shoulder Abduction

A normal range for abduction, starting with your palms at your sides, is around 150 degrees in a healthy shoulder. As you can see by this graphic, there’s a wide range of motion. But if you find that you’re below 100 degrees or above 165 degrees, or if you feel pain when rotating your arms throughout the day or during certain movements; then that may indicate something wrong with your shoulders.
