Specific shoulder dysfunctions are more often encountered in the older patient requiring specific knowledge for successful rehab management.  This podcast will present the current evidence on proximal humerus fractures, rotator cuff tears and glenohumeral osteoarthritis.  It will specifically cover pathophysiology, etiology of injuries, and the effects on ADL’s/IADL’s in the geriatric patient.   The content covered will also include reviews of current evidence in the rehab management of these patients and ideas for the clinical application.
