Shoulder Instability: Keeping it Simple
Spectrum • Individual • AcCvity • History of onset
Wilk & Macrina 2014, Sadeghifar et al 2014
The Challenge of Diagnosis
DiagnosCc Criteria subgroups • Unreliable • Lack validity • Alter incidence • Spectrum of causes
STANMORE CLASSIFICATION

ClassificaCon: Keeping it Simple?
• Torn out • Worn out
• Falls out ? • Pulled out ? • = Out of control
Clinicians Challenge
• “IdenCfy the driver behind the dysfuncCon and focus rehabilitaCon towards the most relevant aspect for the individual”
Barre9 2015
I -‐ TraumaCc Structural
• Significant trauma • Oaen Bankarts • Usually unilateral • No abnormal movement paberning
• Require surgical repair
Mechanism Mabers: SubjecCve Hx
TraumaCc DislocaCon: One Size Does not fit All!
• Decisions affecCng Management – The presence of associated injuries (e.g. Rotator cuff tear)
– Age of the paCent – Sex of the paCent – Pre-‐morbid acCvity levels

TraumaCc Instability: Factors associated with poor outcome
ConservaCvely managed • Reduced IR/ER ROM
• Reduced IR/ER strength • PropriocepCve deficits
Sadeghifar et al 2014, Fyhr et al 2015
TraumaCc Instability: Operate or Not?
For Surgery
• Risk of recurrence -‐ Age
• Incidence degeneraCve changes
• Dynamic system • Restore anatomy
Against Surgery
• Incidence labral pathology in asymptomaCc pts
• 60-‐70 % stability GHJ dynamic system
Gigis et al 2014, Robinson 2010, Dickens et al 2014
The Superior Labrum: To Operate or not
For Surgery
• TraumaCc history • Unable to RTP • MRA matches clinical presentaCon
Against Surgery
• High incidence superior labral pathology in asymptomaCc
• Overuse pathologies do less well
Kibler 2013, Funk 2014
TraumaCc Instability: Can we predict who will do well with
ConservaCve Treatment?
• Apprehension – ? PredicCve recurrence – High or low risk only – ? Decision making
• Importance of tesCng technique
Milgrom et al 2014, Safran et al 2010, Speer 2010
The Challenge of Clinical Assessment in Labral Pathology
• One test is not enough • Current recommendaCons SLAP -‐ O’Briens -‐ Dynamic Labral shear -‐ Biceps Load II -‐ Speed’s
• History and mechanism and clinical picture are key (70%)
Jones 2012, Kibler 2014, Michener 2013
ClassificaCon?
• Torn out • Worn out
• Falls out ? • Pulled out ?
History & Mechanism Maber !
Type II: Falls out
• AtraumaCc (??)
• Capsular DysfuncCon • MDI • Posterior-‐inferior • Not uncommonly bilateral
Hess et al (2005) Cools et al (2006) Ilyes &Kiss (2005) Teyhen (2008)
Type II: What the evidence says
• Timing problem rotator cuff/scapula
• ↓ PropriocepCon
• ↓ FaCgue resistance
• ? Hypermobility
Jaggi et al 2010,Adib et al 2005, Hakim & Grahame 2003, Simmonds & Keer 2007
Type II: What the Evidence Says • Balance • Posture • Joint PosiCon Sense
• Matching arm posiUon
• Target pracUce
Shumway & Wollaco9 2008, Hess et al 2005, Gibson 2010, Radwan 2014
Type II: What the Evidence Says
• Change in threshold corCcospinal response LT & infraspinatus
• ↓ feedback mechanisms • Altered neural control • ?Neurodevelopmental
Alexander CM 2007 Hundza & Zehr 2007
• 80% beber with exercise programme
• 47% athletes get beber with exercise
Type II: What the Evidence Says
Burkhead & Rockood 1992, Misamore 2002, Barre9 2015
Type II: Young Athletes
• Background of laxity • Don’t stop everything!
• Direct trauma and extension injuries
• FaCgue over season • Monitoring
Ren 2013, Barre9 2015
Type II : What the evidence says
Role of Surgery • PlicaCon/Shia • Not a stand alone soluCon
• Creates a window of opportunity
• Beware the hyper-‐mobile paCent
Sinopidis et al 2008, Walch 2011
ClassificaCon?
• Torn out • Worn out
• Falls out ? • Pulled out ?
• Abnormal muscle recruitment
• No structural damage
• Clues • Key drivers • Central Control
Type III : Pulled Out
Jaggi & Lambert 2010, Barre9 2015
Type III: Pulled Out
• Reduced acCvity and Cme domain of reflex acCvity LT, infraspinatus, deltoid and supraspinatus
Barden et al 2005
Type III: What the Evidence Says
Anterior Instability
• PM 60% • LD 81% • AD 22% • ISP Inhibited
Posterior instability
• LD 80% • AD 18% • ISP inhibited
Jaggi et al 2012
BUT!: Clinical assessment idenCfies paberning in 93% of paCents but not the main muscle responsible!
What Next?
Type III: The Reality?
• Don’t panic! • It’s the same! • Cross-‐over • Common compensatory paberns
• Key quesCon : can I change it?
Improvement tests
• Compression • Hand grip • Posterior cuff • Short to long lever Plus • KineCc Chain

AtraumaCc Instability: Can I change it?
• Single leg balance (trendelenberg)
• Single leg squat • Step stand (contralateral) • Improvement tests
AtraumaCc Instability: Can I change it?
And if I can’t change it?
• Pain • Neuro-‐developmental • Psychological
What are we dealing with?
Somatosensory changes at a corCcal level
• Loss of precision • DisrupCon movement
commands
• Changes in sensory funcCon
• AlteraCons in the percepCon of body part
Assessment Tools
• TPD • TacCle discriminaCon
• Lea/right judgement

Neuro-‐developmental
Neurodevelopmental Aspects • Angels in the snow • Reciprocal imitaCons
• Other tools

Instability: The Story So Far
• Cuff -‐ Doesn’t switch on
-‐ Doesn’t control translaCon
• Muscle sequencing
• PropriocepCve deficits • Postural control/KineCc chain • Central consideraCons
Struyf et al 2014,
RehabilitaCon EssenCals Local System
• Switch on-‐ pre-‐set • DirecCon specific recruitment
• Through range • FuncConal relevance

• Hand grip/pincer grip • Isometrics
RehabilitaCon EssenCals Sensorimotor System
Rio et al 2013, Woolaco9 2012, Manske 2013
RehabilitaCon EssenCals: Sensorimotor System
PropriocepCve Tools • Weight bearing
• Resistance • TacCle/Touch • Tape/Lycra • PNF techniques • Isometrics
DirecCon specific • FacilitaCon through range • FuncConal relevance • Movement is organised funcConally not anatomically in the motor cortex
RehabilitaCon EssenCals Rotator Cuff
Rotator Cuff: DirecCon Specific
• RotaConal control of rotator cuff through range
Ginn & Jaggi 2013
The KineCc Chain
• Thorax • Scapula • Cuff
RehabilitaCon EssenCals The KineCc Chain
• Shoulder doesn’t funcCon in isolaCon • Dynamic integraCon enhances local recruitment paberns
• Enhances sensorimotor input
• Motor cortex funcConal paberns
Sciascia 2012, Khazhadyiat et al 2013, Cools et al 2012
• PNF • Thorax/KineCc chain rotaCon • Lawnmower/Robbery
• ProtracCon with lunge • ER with step back/step-‐up

Remember?
• ROM • Strength • PropriocepCon • Movement/recruitment pabern
• ? Timescales
Ginn et al 2012, Cools et al 2012, Barrett 2015
Know what you are dealing with
• Exclude anatomical or neurological deficit
• History & mechanism & age maber
• What improves symptoms the most?
• If can’t change consider neuro-‐developmental, central corCcal change, psychological
