    Shoulder subluxation is the partial dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in the shoulder (Kumar et al., 1623). The glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint, is the ball and socket joint that connects the humerus bone with the scapula (Peterson, 634). Since the shoulder joint gives up stability for mobility, shoulder subluxation can occur from trauma, surgery or chronic instability (Peterson, 634). The persistent problem of shoulder subluxation leads to physicals therapists choosing a specific treatment for this issue.
