The gliding surfaces of the knee are covered with articular cartilage which helps the joint to glide smoothly. Over time the articular cartilage can become d...more

Hi lybrate user , Maintaining muscle strength and flexibility can help prevent shoulder dislocations. Once your shoulder is dislocated, physiotherapy may help prevent you from dislocating it in the future. Through restoring your shoulder's range of motion and physical strength, your risk for dislocation decreases.
