Signs
Posture - fwd shoulders
AROM - decreased all directions
AccPROM - increased in at least one direction, may be uni- or bilateral laxity
MLT - tight pec minor with fwd shldr
GHJ Instability/Laxity
Management
pt education
posture, pec minor stretch
dynamic stabilization of scapula and rotator cuff to improve active restraints and coordination
avoid positions of apprehension/pain until dynamic stabilization improves
Shoulder Dislocations
Etiology
trauma: Ant DL-fall on ABD/ER arm or directly on shldr;
Post DL-FOOSH
atraumatic:previous dislocation may predispose as would excessive instability bilaterally
Shoulder Dislocations
