Posterior shoulder instability is recognised as being less prevalent than
anterior instability, however the diagnosis of this pathology is easily
overlooked or missed and this may contribute to an underestimation of prevalence.
Recently, there has been increasing recognition of this condition and
consequently a greater requirement for knowledge of diagnostic procedures and
treatment directions.
Currently there is limited research into the conservative
management of posterior instability, although it is recommended as first-line
treatment prior to surgical review, particularly in those with an atraumatic
instability mechanism.
The aim of this paper is to outline a comprehensive
rehabilitation program for the conservative management of posterior instability
with a focus on scapular and humeral head control.
The information provided
includes extensive written information, flowcharts, figures and a table of
management parameters that will provide therapists with adequate detail to
replicate the program in the clinical setting.
