Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Return to Sport, Shoulder Dislocation or Subluxation
In brief
The goal of this exploratory prospective study is to determine if an upper extremity test battery, comprised of physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures, can predict successful return to sports and quality of life in athletes (age 16-55) after shoulder dislocation. The main research questions are: * Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict successful return to sports (= return to pre-injury sports level) in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure * Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict the quality of life in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure Participants will: * Fill out questionnaires pre-operatively * Fill out the SIRSI questionnaire throughout the rehabilitation * Undergo a testing battery in the return to sport phase, including physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures * Fill out questionnaires every 3 months after return to sports, up to 1 year.
