Exercise program for non-traumatic shoulder instability
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new exercise program for people with non-traumatic shoulder instability (looseness without injury). It focuses on improving how well your rotator cuff muscles control shoulder rotation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a young adult (age 18–40) with shoulder instability that started without a specific injury (not from a fall or accident)
- Your shoulder feels loose or slips out of position during certain movements, and you have less than 80% control of your shoulder rotation compared to the full range of motion
- You understand Swedish well enough to speak, read, and write
- You do not have other major shoulder problems, a connective tissue disorder, a birth defect, or a serious mental health condition
- You are willing and able to do at least 60% of the assigned exercises

This trial tests if a special training program that addresses multiple factors (like strength and fear) can improve recovery after shoulder surgery for instability. It is for people who have had a dislocated shoulder and are planning a keyhole surgery called Bankart repair.
This trial compares a shoulder implant (prosthesis) with an active exercise program for people whose rotator cuff has caused shoulder joint damage. The goal is to see which approach helps function and comfort better over time.
This trial tests a standardized exercise program for volleyball players who have shoulder instability without a specific injury. It aims to see if these exercises can improve shoulder stability and reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to shoulder stability exercises helps people with loose, unstable shoulders feel better and move more reliably. You'll do exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your shoulder joint.
This study tests whether a special exercise program that trains you to focus your attention in different ways can reduce shoulder pain and improve function. You'll do exercises designed to help your rotator cuff (the muscles that stabilize your shoulder) while learning to shift your mental focus during movement.
This study tests a new rehab program after a shoulder stabilization surgery called Latarjet. It may help you recover better if you have had a dislocated shoulder and need this surgery.
