About this trial
The goal of this exploratory prospective study is to determine if an upper extremity test battery, comprised of physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures, can predict successful return to sports and quality of life in athletes (age 16-55) after shoulder dislocation.
The main research questions are:
* Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict successful return to sports (= return to pre-injury sports level) in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure * Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict the quality of life in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure
Participants will:
* Fill out questionnaires pre-operatively * Fill out the SIRSI questionnaire throughout the rehabilitation * Undergo a testing battery in the return to sport phase, including physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures * Fill out questionnaires every 3 months after return to sports, up to 1 year.
