The Shoulder

instability

Treatment of minor instability

banks on three pillars

1. Provide a firm fundament:
   Fixation of the scapula must be optimal. Therefore, train the strength of the muscles of the shoulder girdle:
   • trapezii (middle portion),
   • serratus anterior,
   • rhomboids
   • pectoralis minor.
   In the beginnig only isometric exercises , later also isotonic contractions.
   However, do not use long levers - only the muscles of the shoulder girdle and the humerus stays alongside the trunk are trained.
2. Training of strenght and propriocepsis of the antagonists of the deltoid:
   Latissimus dorsi and Pectoralis major.
   In the beginning only isometric exercises, later on also isotonic, and finally coordination- exercises (training of contractions of the antagonists during active abductions.
3. Proprioceptive exercises
   for the rotator cuff muscles
