A Ganel, H Horoszowski, M Heim

    Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
    |June 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Physiotherapy effectively treated shoulder dislocations in four elderly patients. This conservative approach improved function and pain-free motion, showing its value for persistent shoulder dislocations in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Physical therapy

    Background:

    • Unrecognized shoulder dislocation can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility in elderly individuals.
    • Conservative management options for persistent shoulder dislocations in the elderly are often under-explored.

    Observation:

    • Four elderly patients presented with longstanding, unrecognized shoulder dislocations.
    • These patients were managed exclusively through physiotherapy interventions.

    Findings:

    • All four patients achieved significant functional improvements following physiotherapy.
    • A notable increase in the range of pain-free motion was observed in the treated shoulders.

    Implications:

    • Physiotherapy alone can be a highly effective treatment for elderly patients with chronic shoulder dislocations.

  • Conservative management should be considered as a viable option for improving outcomes in this patient population.
