Neural and Collagen Tissue Properties As They Relate to Glenohumeral Joint Laxity and Stiffness
Shoulder instability is the most frequently occurring shoulder injury. Instability is caused by repetitive stress or a traumatic event that leads to excessive joint laxity. A major concern with instability is the high recurrence rate post treatment. Although the occurrence and recurrence of …
