Consistent among several of the intervention studies to date is that the exercise protocols either combine global (ie, nonspecific) strengthening of the scapular muscles with glenohumeral strengthening or do not address the scapular muscles at all. Although we generally focus on the glenohumeral joint when evaluating the shoulder, we should not forget that the shoulder girdle is composed of the sternoclavicular joint, the clavicle, the acromioclavicular joint, the glenohumeral joint, the scapula, and the scapulothoracic joint. During this rehabilitative phase common complications include shoulder pain and subluxation of the glenohumeral joint. |
