Concentric Circle Model of Glenohumeral joint

The glenohumeral joint is an extremely mobile joint who’s stability come from numerous soft tissue structures such as ligaments and muscles rather than closely fitting joint surfaces as seen in the acetabulum/hip joint.

Although this dynamic stability is very complex in reality, an easy way to grasp the concept is to think of the joint as a series of concentric circles with the glenoid fossa and labrum at the centre and the rotator cuff muscles and prime movers at the outsides.

Research: Patient Satisfaction With Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy Care: A Systematic Review.

A recently published study has looked at patient satisfaction from musculoskeletal therapy and reached these conclusions:

Patients are highly satisfied with musculoskeletal physical therapy care delivered across outpatient settings in northern Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The interpersonal attributes of the therapist and the process of care are key determinants of patient satisfaction. An unexpected finding was that treatment outcome was infrequently and inconsistently associated with patient satisfaction. Physical therapists can enhance the quality of patient-centered care by understanding and optimizing these determinants of patient satisfaction.
