Shoulder instability and balance

[kate671]

Thankyou for the suggestion. I saw the patient this morning and tried taping with the use of his sling to support the humeral head, and it worked very well. In fact, during the entire session, once the taping had been applied, his shoulder did not dislocate or sublux. He was even able to move 30degrees of flexion (when challenging balance). Im going to keep up with this method of supporting the shoulder during treatment and try some more high level balance work with him next session on a gym ball.

Now i'll be able to continue treatment until his orthopaedic review next month so thanks
