Feasibility of the SINEX program for patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An optimal treatment for traumatic anterior shoulder instability (TASI) remains to be identified. A shoulder instability neuromuscular exercise (SINEX) program has been designed for patients with TASI, but has not yet been tested in patients eligible for surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the feasibility and safety of the SINEX program for patients diagnosed with TASI and eligible for surgery.

Methods

A feasibility study with an experimental, longitudinal design using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A total of seven participants underwent the SINEX program, a 12-week exercise program including physiotherapist-supervised sessions. Feasibility data on recruitment, retention, compliance, acceptability and safety was
