I am considering investing in a company that has developed a product
to treat shoulder subluxation but don’t know much about the market. I
am looking for the global incidence/prevalence of shoulder
subluxation. I am interested in finding out who gets treated for
shoulder subluxation (stroke patients for example) and what their
treatment options are, as well as what companies are working in the
area of improved shoulder subluxation.

Clarification of Question by ekw70-ga on 30 Oct 2003 12:52 PST

I have been able to find that shoulder subluxation is a common
complication of stroke and occurs frequently in hemiplegic shoulders.
It may develop as a result of weak muscles that prevent normal muscle
response to loading, improper arm positioning or pulling on a flaccid
hemiplegic arm.

I would like to know what is the incidence in shoulder subluxation in
stroke/hemiplegic patients worldwide? What treatments are available
for this condition and what companies are working on these treatments?
