Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Case control study to evaluate different factors (e.g muscle strength, psychological factors) that are associated with full recovery and functional status 6 months after surgical repair of shoulder instability.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study the investigators will try to find correlations between different factors and functional abilities of patients 6 months post shoulder surgery.

Patients will be examined in a single encounter for muscle strength, fear avoidance beliefs and functional abilities.

Functional abilities will be examined using two validated questionnaires:
