How do we Prevent this ?

 Patient Education

Pre-operative physical therapy visit Pathway to recovery book Instruct in sling use Goals/Expectations Precautions* Overview of exercise program Assess ROM and Strength Assess current ADL function (DASH)

Create a Safe Environment

  • Prequisites include:

 Knowledge of: Post-Op Restrictions  Surgeon’s Prescribed Guideline

  • e.g. Aquatic therapy

(Speer, Cavanaugh, et al AJSM ’93)

– Re-education for dyssynergic shoulders – Adjunct to traditional therapeutic exercise – Proprioceptive input

Criteria Based Guideline vs “Protocol”

  • Allows for Individualization
  • Respect Timeline
  • Advance upon meeting criteria

Tip #5

SLIDE 17

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Treatment Strategies: Post-OP Week 0-4

Criteria for Advancement:

  • Pain controlled
  • Range of motion, elevation to 120°, external rotation to 30°
  • Independent light activities of daily living
  • Independent home exercise program

  • Utiilization of these Tips of Rehabilitation can contribute to

a successful outcome

  • Patient Education is key
  • Follow a Functional Progression throughout the

rehab course

  • Advance via a criteria based guideline respecting

timelines

  • Return to Sport is attainable with modifications
