Care pathways in physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM): the patient after shoulder stabilization surgery

This document is part of the "Care pathways in physical and rehabilitation medicine" series developed by the French Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Society (SOFMER) and the French Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Federation (FEDMER). For a given patient profile, each concise document describes the patient's needs, the care objectives in physical and rehabilitation medicine, the required human and material resources, the time course and the expected outcomes. The document is intended to enable physicians, decision-makers, administrators and legal and financial specialists to rapidly understand patient needs and the available care facilities, with a view to organizing and pricing these activities appropriately. Here, patients with shoulder instability requiring surgical stabilization are classified into five care sequences and two clinical categories, each of which are treated according to the same six parameters and by taking account of personal and environmental factors (according to the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) that may influence patient needs.
