Proprioceptive deficits following a traumatic anterior shoulder instability: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proprioception, our limb awareness in space, plays a vital role in maintaining shoulder stability through neuromuscular control. Following traumatic anterior instability (TAI), proprioceptive deficits can exist, potentially impairing upper limb function. However, the extent and nature of these deficits vary, with each injury potentially presenting unique proprioceptive deficit profiles. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the available evidence on proprioceptive deficits following TAI, compared to healthy controls, or the contralateral upper-limb.

Methods

Literature was searched in PubMed, Scopus, Academic Search Premier, and SPORTDiscus databases from inception until December 2024. Selected articles were systematically assessed, and the methodologi
