Introduce light resistance exercises (Theraband, isometrics).
Improve joint tracking and mobility.
Q: What are the goals of Phase 1 (Freezing Stage - Protection Phase) in frozen shoulder?
Reduce pain and muscle guarding.
Use Codman’s pendulum exercises and gentle PROM.
Maintain integrity of surrounding joints (elbow, wrist).
Q: What should be achieved in Phase 2 (Frozen Stage - Controlled Motion Phase) of frozen shoulder rehab?
Increase shoulder mobility with AAROM & gentle stretching.
Perform self-mobilization techniques (posterior & caudal glide).
Correct compensatory movements (scapular hiking).
Q: What are the goals of Phase 1 (0-4 weeks post-op) after subacromial decompression?
Protect the surgical repair and control swelling.
Perform PROM to prevent stiffness.
Avoid painful activities and overhead movements.
Q: What is the primary goal in Phase 3 (Thawing Stage - Return to Function Phase) for frozen shoulder?
Achieve progressive flexibility and strength.
Reintroduce functional movements and resistance training.
Restore full ROM and neuromuscular control.
Q: What are the goals of Phase 2 (4-8 weeks post-op) for subacromial decompression?
Initiate AAROM & light resistance training.
Strengthen rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers.
Improve shoulder endurance with functional exercises.
Q: What are the early rehab goals (0-4 weeks post-op) after SLAP lesion repair?
Protect surgical repair (no active biceps contraction).
Maintain pain-free PROM.
Avoid resisted elbow flexion/supination.
Q: What should be achieved in Phase 3 (8+ weeks post-op) for subacromial decompression?
Regain full shoulder function.
Progress to sport-specific strengthening and agility.
Ensure pain-free ROM and strength before return to sport.
