HI ,
U ASKED A QUESTION THAT USES OF SWISS BALL TO STROKE PATIENT WITH SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS,
I TOO DON'T KNOW THAT HOW FOR THAT SWISS BALL HELPS IN TREATING SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS BUT MOSTLY IT IS USED TO TREAT THE FOLLOWING

Developing overall control and strength of the core body muscles,
Increasing lower back mobility,
Increasing abdominal and back muscle strength,
Improving balance and stability,
Improving proprioception and
Learning proper body mechanics and posture while lifting objects.

THERE IS ALSO MISCONCEPTION THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL HARM WITH THIS BALLS. Swiss balls have been criticized by serious strength coaches because people tend to overuse them, which can lead to injury. Strength coach Charles Poliquin has stated "About 70% of Swiss ball exercises are worthless. It's just one of those things where people are taking an idea too far. There's some value to it, but it's not a cure-all."
BUT WE SHOULD SEE WHETHER ANY BODY REPLIES TO THIS

There is a ball called BOSU(both sides up).As the name suggests, the device can be flipped over so that the platform faces up. In this position, the device is highly unstable and well suited for a wide array of exercises as well. Many use the BOSU ball in this position to train shoulder stability with various push-up and pressing movements.
