Course overview

This course reviews 2 current research articles that offer foundational information on Primary Anterior Shoulder Dislocation in athletes and recommended treatment management, including evaluation for returning to sports. It includes epidemiology, risk factors, physical exam findings, diagnostic imaging and review of concurrent injuries associated with anterior shoulder dislocations. This course also provides a Clinical Application in the form of a Case Scenario that reviews and applies information on a recently studied Rehab Protocol for improving GH joint strength through the use of elastic bands and resistive free-weight exercises.
