Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the glenohumeral joint translation in the instable shoulder compared with the stable shoulder of a healthy control group during extension of the elbow. Evaluate the inter rater- and intra rater reliability of the ultrasound guided HHCT. Evaluate the subjective function and stability of the instable shoulder. Evaluate the objective stability of the instable shoulder. Evaluate the association between the results of the apprehension test and HHCT.
