Starting a robust exercise program sooner after surgery could prevent patients with dislocated shoulders from sustaining a repeat injury and help them return to sport faster. University of Adelaide researchers spent three years analysing evidence from 3,600 existing studies and found a tailored exercise program commencing three to six weeks after surgery was the best approach for preventing a secondary shoulder dislocation. "Patients who dislocate their shoulder have a high risk of doing it again within six months, and can suffer from recurrent instability," said the University of Adelaide's Dr Timothy Lathlean, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Adelaide Medical School and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI).
