Looseness in more than one direction at once.
Multidirectional instability involves signs of ligamentous laxity in the shoulder, with subluxations, partial dislocations, that can cause pain and weakness. On examination, a doctor may find a positive 'sulcus sign,' a key clinical indicator of this pattern.
Physical Therapy is a common and effective treatment option for most patients. Because it's difficult to surgically stabilize a shoulder that's loose in multiple directions at once, surgery is rarely necessary.
Building stability the joint can't get from surgery alone.
Since surgical stabilization is difficult for multidirectional laxity, we focus on a progressive strengthening program that builds the dynamic muscular control the joint needs.
