Hi Vijay,

Active shoulder (without assistance) movement can be done when you don't have shoulder pain, no shoulder hiking while abducting(horizontal elevation) your shoulder. As per normal protocol for Bankart surgery you can do active movements by 7 th week, but you should have no or minimum pain. Are you doing scapular stabilization exercise? It very important for shoulder rehabilitation.

From 6th to 12 week you should aim to reach complete shoulder active movement gradually. Continue to strenthen your scapular and glenohumeral muscles starting from isometric to dynamic. If pain permits by end of 10th week physiotherapist can do grade 3 mobilization.


My opinion is, you can meet a physio who is experienced with this type of rehabilitation.


Best regards,

Sudhakar.
