Summary

This study tests whether adding psychological support to standard physical therapy can reduce fear of movement (kinesiophobia) in people who have had shoulder stabilization surgery for recurrent dislocations. 52 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard rehab or a new program that includes consultations with a sports psychologist.
