Article Synopsis
- The seated wall angel (SWA) is a new clinical test designed to assess upper body mobility in patients with anterior shoulder instability, offering a scoring system based on body contact with the wall.
- The study sought to determine if SWA test scores would be lower on the injured side compared to the uninjured side, improve over six weeks, and have a stronger correlation with patient-reported shoulder function than traditional shoulder mobility tests.
- Results showed that SWA scores were indeed lower on the injured side initially, improved significantly at follow-up, and had meaningful correlations with patient-reported outcomes indicating its usefulness in clinical assessments.
