Shoulder tests for athletes after a dislocation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a set of physical tests to see how well they measure shoulder function in people who have had a shoulder dislocation and plan to return to sports. It may help you understand if you are ready to go back to your sport safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
