Q

Who is at greater risk for recurrence of shoulder dislocations?

A

Younger patients in their 20s and men

17
Q

What results in a reduced risk of shoulder dislocation?

A

Boney bankart and greater tubercle fracture (due to surgical intervention)

18
Q

What are the 4 phases of a rehab program for anterior instability?

A

Phase 1- acute

Phase 2- intermediate

Phase 3- advanced strengthening

Phase 4- return to activity

19
Q

What are some exercises that are good to be used in the acute phase (phase 1)?

A

Rhythmic stabilization for IR/ER/shoulder flexion

Closed chain (arms held out against wall)

Scapular re training

20
Q

What are some exercises that can be used for the intermediate phase (phase 2)?

A

Rotator cuff strengthening (moving in early to mid range in multiple planes)

Closed chain (plank position)

Balancing with hand on a ball on the wall

21
Q

What are some exercises for the advanced strengthening phase (phase 3)?

A

Rotator cuff strengthening at end range

Neuromuscular training

Closed chain (wall push up on ball)

22
Q

What are some exercises for the return to activity phase (phase 4)?

A

Exercises that reflect what they want to return to

23
Q

What is TUBS?

A

Traumatic

Unidirectional (anterior, posterior, or inferior)

Associated bankart lesion

Surgical repair

24
Q

What is the prognosis of TUBS?

A

Good

25
Q

What is AMBRI?

A

Atraumatic

Multidirectional

Bilateral

Rehab

Inferior capsular shift (if surgery is done)

26
Q

What is the prognosis of AMBRI?

A

Less certain

27
Q

What position does an anterior GH dislocation usually occur in?

A

Anterior force on shoulder with arm abducted and ER (posterior force on forearm or hand)

28
Q

What position does a posterior GH dislocation occur in?

A

Posterior force on shoulder with arm flexed and IR

29
Q

What is the position where inferior GH dislocation often occurs?

A

Inferior force on shoulder with arm in abduction
