We have determined the effectiveness of muscular strengthening exercises of the rotator muscles for shoulder instability. These exercises are one of the conservative treatments for shoulder instability.As of y et, there have only been a few reports about the effectiveness of this procedure due to lack of data. So we have attemped to clarify this treatment and its effect. In this study, we will report on 11 cases-19 shoulders with inferior and/or multidirectional instability and 3 cases-3 shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocation.All the patients began isometric rehabilitation exercises and followed up using a Cybex machine and a grading system. As a result, we found muscular strengthening exercises to be effective and useful in 75% of the patients with inferior and/or multidirectional instability. Patients with recurrent anterior dislocation also had a good rate of response. However the success and effectiveness of this technique has certain limitations.We should first try muscular strengthening exercises of the rotator muscles in the treatment of shoulder instability.
