Abstract The athlete with shoulder instability poses a unique challenge to the sports medicine team. Clinical studies support surgical intervention followed by a phased approach to rehabilitation. In the latter phases, it is important to tailor this program to the individual’s specific athletic needs, which requires ongoing qualitative assessment and objective measurement. Passing a return‐to‐sport testing battery has been shown to decrease the risk of recurrent instability. What is lacking in the literature is a consensus for how to best measure shoulder performance when the required athletic demands are widely varied by hand dominance, sport played, and playing position. Multiple upper‐extremity tests have been described in the literature, but there is no consensus on which tests should be used to direct rehabilitation and to safely return the athlete to unrestricted athletic exposure. Using available evidence, we suggest a framework for return‐to‐play testing that integrates traditional rehabilitation phases with performance testing and graduated sports exposure. Level of Evidence Level V, expert opinion.
