Abstract:
An appropriate physiotherapeutic treatment program complements an optimal operative result. In the instance of SLAP lesions, a differentiated therapy is only possible on consultation with the surgeon. A detailed treatment design allows optimal guidance of the patient to his or her personal goal. Important treatment elements include the optimization of the ability of the humerus head to centralize and the proprioception of the shoulder joint, as well as reinstatement of strength and endurance, especially of the rotator cuff.
