Positioning After Shoulder Arthroplasty: Early Postoperative (Maximum Protection) Phase

By Carolyn Kisner PT, MS and Lynn Allen Colby PT, MS on November 26th 2008

Supine
• Arm immobilized in sling, which is worn continuously
• Elbow flexed to 90°
• Forearm and hand resting on abdomen
• Arm supported at the elbow on a folded blanket or pillow slightly away from the side and anterior to the midline of the trunk
• Forward flexion (10° to 20°), slight abduction, and internal rotation of the […]

Gh Joint Hypomobility: Management—Return To Function Phase

By cheng001 on November 26th 2008

Progressively Increase Flexibility and Strength
• Stretching and strengthening exercises are progressed as the joint tissue tolerates. The patient should be actively involved in self-stretching and strengthening by this time, so emphasis during treatment is on correct mechanics, safe progressions, and exercise strategies for return to function.
• If capsular tissue is still restricting ROM, vigorous manual […]

Gh Joint Hypomobility: Management—Controlled Motion Phase

By Carolyn Kisner PT, MS and Lynn Allen Colby PT, MS on November 26th 2008

When symptoms are subacute, follow the guidelines emphasizing joint mobility, neuromuscular control, and instructions to the patient for self-care.
NOTE: For normal shoulder joint mechanics, there must be good scapular posture and control, and the humerus must be able to externally rotate. To avoid suprahumeral impingement, passive stretching above 90° should be avoided until there is […]
