Recovery from Shoulder Dislocation

[linbin]

Hi Buddy,
First and foremost you please give details of the exercise program designed to you by your physio.I think,then only physios over here can guide you more efficiently
when shoulder is dislocated once.the normal support and stability provided by the capsule ceases,especially in extremes of ranges.
during as day to day activities we are using shoulder mostly in the middle range.here the stability is provided mainly by the muscles,especially the rotator cuff.in your case more emphasis should be given to the rotator cuff muscle.i Hope your exercise programme includes strengthening ex to these muscles.

Ok. I made a note of the exercises my physiotherapist gave me because I couldn't remember them all together of the top of my head and they're basically the following:

1. Bring DB towards/away from shoulder with palm facing shoulder (simple bisceps exercise)
2. Repeat but with palm perpendicular to shoulder
3. Raise DB laterally to form a sort of 180 degrees (if using both hands, but I have to use one) and back down
4. Raise DB straight up above head by pushing it straight up
5. Raise DB straight up by lifting arm in a sort of rotational motion
6. Tuck elbow inside, and DB across stomach (L shaped) and then take the DB out till 90 degrees only
7. Making a sort of movement like using a hacksaw with DB in hand. Hand in L-shaped movement forward and back.
8. Shrugs with DB
9. Pushing shoulders back to touch blades
10. Rotating arm to 360 degrees normally without DB

DB=Dumbbell
Exercises 1-5 I do first while standing and then while lying down on my bed.

I can't remember if there was anything specific for my triceps so I used one exercise I did in the gym which is basically to let the top of the dumbbell rest in my upper hand by holding the inside of it with both hands and then just lifting it straight up behind my head.

hi buddy,
Your exercises program is more concentrated on deltiod,pectorals etc.emphasis is not given on ratator cuff.
if i were you physio,i would start with isometric exercise to rotator cuff
will design self assisted exercises to maintain range,keeping in mind to avoid the combinations of movement having risk of shoulder dslocation in initial phase.
later i will add more active and resisted strengthening of roator cuff
-active exercises directed to maintain the shoulder range and shoulder girdle stabilizers strength .
later add more close kinematic exercises to enhance cocontraction of shoulder muscles

Ok. Would it be possible for you to guide me in more detail about these specific exercises or direct me to some online links for the same?
