Shoulder Rehabilitation Guidelines
Standardized, consensus and evidence derived post-operative shoulder rehabilitation guidelines for patients following Arthroscopic Bankart, Arthroscopic/Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repairs and Total Shoulder Arthroplasty have been developed by a multidisciplinary team of physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons and physicians known as SURGE (Shoulder and Elbow Research Group of Edmonton).
These guidelines provide a common platform from which physical therapists, surgeons and physicians can work. The hope is that these new guidelines will lead to improved, standardized care for post-operative shoulder patients, as well as provide information that is appropriate (to the specific surgical procedure and patient), beneficial and worthwhile (providing the user with useful, easy to interpret information).
