•While working
on the shoulder joint , it is imperative that the rest of
the body be in good alignment.
This may entail simple positioning or can necessitate
the use of external supports.
•One must also
look at the position of the more distal elements of the affected extremity. Use of braces, splints, serial casting
to place the elbow and wrist in alignment will facilitate
better usage of the muscles around the shoulder joint.
