Physical Therapy- How does stabilization training of the shoulder complex provide similar benefits to surgical interventions such as pain and function in patients with suspected shoulder labral tears?
The student is expected to discuss the validity of the evidence and any limitations.Students will then complete the chart to answer their clinical question. Students can write a narrative or use a mix of narrative and charts to present their evidence and clinical decision.
