Summary

In this paper we describe and evaluate the results of the Noergaard technique through a retrospective analysis of patients admitted and treated for anterior shoulder dislocation at the ED of Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Denmark, in a 1-year period.

Conditions

  • Anterior Shoulder Dislocation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Noergaard technique

The patient is placed standing in an upright position in front of the rail on a hospital bed. Legs should be stretched with a wide well balanced stance. The patient is then instructed to bend forwards, resting the forehead on the back of the non-affected forearm, which is put on the rail. The affected arm should now be relaxed and stretched, hanging straight down toward the floor. The patient is then instructed to attempt to relax and make pendular and circular motions with the affected arm hanging down. Successful reduction occurs when sufficient muscle relaxation allows the humeral head to reposition to its natural position in the glenoid fossa. Often the patient will experience a popping sensation when the shoulder is reduced.
