Abstract:
Rehabilitation of the athlete is an integral part of returning to sports after shoulder surgery. The physician and therapist need to work in tandem to develop a proper rehabilitation program to allow the patient to achieve a satisfactory performance level. Painfree range of motion, strength, endurance, proprioception, and proper sport-specific patterns are the goals of rehabilitation before returning the athlete safely to sport.
