Topic: Overview of Shoulder Instability

Part 2 of the shoulder webinar will update on surgical treatment for structural instability and conservative treatment for functional instability. For acute and postoperative management, the new principle of “POLICE” (progressive optimal loading) has moved past the traditional RICE to speed up recovery, enable early return to ADL.

The shoulder has got more mobility and the fastest movement than any other joints in the body. As the shoulder doesn’t have much bony stability, a lot of the stability and movement of the shoulder depends on muscle function. The importance of proprioception, neuromuscular training and posture control for shoulder rehabilitation exercises are well recognized, yet not much practiced. Recent research shows these can be improved by modality assisted exercises in the clinic and at home.
