Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Shoulder instability appears as a naturally
occurring or traumatic, sport-related chase. Every fifth
person with a shoulder problem has one of the forms of
shoulder instability.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the “Hand to Hand” physiotherapy approach on
shoulder stability.
Materials and methods: The study involved 30 subjects
(N = 30). Measurement of the proprioceptive index of
fear and active range of movements in the shoulder
before and at the end of physiotherapy was performed.
Respondents applied a “Hand to hand” physiotherapy
approach for 18 days.
Results: The obtained results point to statistical significance in decreasing the proprioceptive index of fear
and increasing the active range of the movement in the
shoulder (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Research suggests the effectiveness of a
“Hand to hand” physiotherapy approach to shoulder
stability
