The "glass shoulder": Patients' lived experiences of a traumatic shoulder dislocation - A qualitative study.

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocations have a high recurrence rate, often necessitating stabilizing surgery, with residual long-term fear of reinjury.

Objectives: To explore patients' experiences of anterior shoulder dislocations in relation to their lives, well-being, fear of reinjury, and future perspectives.

Reliability and validity of the K-force grip dynamometer in healthy subjects: do we need to assess it three times?

Introduction: Digital dynamometers to assess grip strength are becoming more common in research and clinical settings. The aim of the study was to assess validity and reliability of the K-force dynamometer compared to the Jamar dynamometer. We also aimed to assess differences over the course of three measurements.

Factor Structure of the Shoulder Instability Return to Sport After Injury Scale: Performance Confidence, Reinjury Fear and Risk, Emotions, Rehabilitation and Surgery.

Background: Rates of return to play after shoulder dislocation vary between 48% and 96%, and there has been scant attention given to the psychosocial factors that influence return to play after a shoulder injury.

Purpose: To establish the factor structure of the Shoulder Return to Sport after Injury (SI-RSI) scale and examine how the SI-RSI is associated with the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI).

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Normative Rugby Data of the SARTS Tests: Comparison of Elite and School Players.

This study aimed to examine the normative data for the SARTS rugby tests in elite and schoolboy rugby players. A second aim was to examine differences between level of sport and position of play in the SARTS rugby tests. Elite (N = 57) and Schoolboy (N = 63) rugby players performed the SARTS tests relevant to rugby players each for 1 min, with 1-2 min rest between each test.
