Abstract

Shoulder dislocation mainly occurs due to glenohumeral joint instability. Glenohumeral joint instability mainly seen in athletes who do over head movement. Surgical treatment for BANKART'S lesion of glenohumeral capsular ligament injury can be treating by using an open and arthoscopic surgical approach to repair the detached glenoid labrum and capsular placation. Successful outcomes have been reported to arthoscopic surgical procedure with respect to restoring stability to the glenohumeral joint. Often, however full functional range of motion is sacrificed due to the degree of tissue morbidity and necessary postoperative immobilisation. Efficacy of rotator cuff muscles strengthening to improve range of motion and strength after arthoscopic bankart's repair in individuals with anterior shoulder dislocation.

30 samples were taken with simple random sampling with symptoms of anterior shoulder dislocation. All subjects were assessed post operatively and after 6 weeks of follow up for Range of motion with goniometer and strength with digital spring balance. All the subjects were received strengthening exercise for rotator cuff muscle post operatively for 6 weeks.

Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, medial rotation and lateral rotation at zero degree abduction on 4thpost operative day and 90° abduction on 6th week follow up showed increased in all measured ROM (P < 0.05). strength Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, medial rotation, and lateral rotation strength measurements are from 4th post operative day to 6 weeks follow up revealed interaction in all measured strength.

We conclude from this study that physiotherapy interventions will result in improvement of ROm and strength in 6 weeks of follow up.
