Shoulder Joint Osteoarthritis: Its Possible Neurosensory Impairments, Interactions and Postural Control Impacts

Osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disease induces high degrees of disability and health costs in all parts of the globe. Shoulder or glenohumeral osteoarthritis alone can be very disabling despite advanced surgical joint replacement availability, sophisticated diagnostic and remedial procedures. Discussed herein are data spanning 25 years of study 2000-2025 concerning shoulder osteoarthritis and its probable neuromotor pathogenic interactions and ramifications? A poorly studied topic, the data exploration process employed was designed to garner support for the idea that subnormal joint positional sense mechanisms and others involved in mediating or moderating shoulder movement and stability are an important shoulder osteoarthritis disease correlate and one worthy of efforts to detect this proactively, as well as to intervene accordingly to optimize and protect all shoulder neural structures and related somatosensory functions and avert injury.
