Description
The video presentation features Simon Lambert discussing a new approach to understanding glenohumeral instability. He defines instability not merely as a mechanical fault, but as a symptom experienced by the patient, marked by abnormal shoulder movement or position. Lambert stresses the importance of stability in relation to the joint's anatomical structures, such as the rotator cuff, which plays a vital role in maintaining shoulder stability through effective joint compression. He highlights the significance of neurological aspects in shoulder function and rehabilitation, emphasizing that both structural and neurological factors contribute to instability. He critiques common surgical techniques and urges for a better understanding of instability as a complex interplay of structural and neurological elements, with a focus on how effective rehabilitation must address both aspects to achieve successful outcomes. Lambert concludes by reiterating that glenohumeral instability is best understood as a manifestation of underlying neural and structural issues.
