To get the athlete prepared to return to play from a shoulder dislocation after reduction, immobilization, and strength exercised are essential. After immobilization, strengthening is needed to make sure there will be no instability when the athletic/ patient returns to activity.(5) The foundation for all shoulder joint activity is due to a stable scapula. Muscle strengthening exercises to help with scapular control, include: scapular depressions (for the trapezius, and pectoralis minor), rows (for the rhomboids and middle trapezius), pushups with a plus and scapular punches ( for the serratus anterior), and shoulder girdle shrugs. To strengthen the rotator cuff muscles, exercises that incorporate internal rotation (for the subscapularis), external rotation (for the infraspinatus and teres minor), rowing , and scapular depression, should be added to allow the stability to be stronger. (5) These exercises should only be incorporated once the patient has been immobilized for at least 6 weeks. The exercises should gradually be brought in to the rehabilitation program. For first time dislocations, arthroscopic treatments has had the most favorable outcomes.(2) Even though technology has come a long way, the procedures still closely resemble open techniques. Although there are many techniques for shoulder dislocations, once a dislocation has occurred,…
