title: Rehabilitation of the shoulder.
abstract: Rehabilitation of the shoulder has undergone significant changes during the past few years due to many clinical and basic science projects that have taught us about biomechanics of the shoulder. The athlete's shoulder is a particularly good model to allow us an understanding related to rehabilitation for treatment of injuries, injury prevention and performance enhancement. A comprehensive rehabilitation program for athletes can be based on these clinical and basic science principles to aid in our understanding of rehabilitation for shoulders in general.
