Excessive Humeral Anterior Translation For Tennis

A more advanced assessment of humeral glide will be needed to progress Robin back to playing tennis. First, a closer observation of the humerus resting position during posture, then a correction. Followed by a transverse plane movement observation in supine. Watching the humerus move from full external rotation into internal rotation and monitoring the humeral head. A symptom modification procedure of a posterior glide can then be performed.
