Our vision and value proposition

Our vision is to be used by clinicians around the world to help utilise the best available evidence to provide simple shoulder testing, and reporting solutions to improve clinical reasoning and allow improved patient outcomes confidently and efficiently.

Solving the problem
The app was built to help clinicians collect data to help drive better decisions for their patient outcomes. To date there is no gold standard battery of tests for return to sport following shoulder injury. However, there are several validated, reliable, and applicable objective shoulder tests relating to the shoulder.
 
Our fellow lower limb colleagues have a well-researched approach to ACL rehabilitation and return to sport testing. 5 years ago, I decided to search through the literature only to be disappointed and unsuccessful to finding an answer for what is best practice for return to sport testing following shoulder injury. Clearly further research and data is required, and I have built this app to help clinicians help work together to help provide reasonable direction for future research avenues, but also more confidence in their daily practice to make decisions on when to progress a shoulder patients rehabilitation journey from day to day.
 
There is a gap in the market to collect patient data, objective testing scores, for different athletes, genders, types of injuries, to help make better clinical decisions, hence Simple Shoulder Systems. The testing session can be simple (shoulder range of motion, strength testing, and a few functional tests) or thorough (range of motion, strength, force plate, functional tests, lower limb kinetic chain), all of which can be decided by the user to select any combination of tests they desire.
The journey so far
This idea started 5 years ago, after spending countless hours reading and summarising research, creating excel spreadsheets, conditionally formatting them, adding and subtracting tests, to now where the fully functioning app has been created to help not just myself as a clinician, but allowing others to do the same who share my passion for shoulder assessment & education, and evidence informed clinical practice decision making.

I am fortunate enough to work in elite sport, a busy sports and orthopaedic clinic, and as a clinical educator in the University system. I am passionate about evidence-based practice and empowering my patients to be aware of all their options to be involved in their rehabilitation decision making process.

I have also created Online Shoulder Courses in addition to the App - Please refer to the courses relating to Return to Sport Testing, Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain, Shoulder Instability, and Frozen Shoulder to name a few. These resources will provide you with my interpretation of the current evidence, key subjective, objective, and management principles for each condition.

I have been inspired by the work of many talented academics and clinicians such as Dr Mary Magarey, Mark Jones, Rod Whiteley, Edel Fanning, Ben Ashworth, Jo Gibson, Margie Olds, Prof Jeremy Lewis, Jared Powell, Lyn Watson, and The Melbourne Instability Group to name a few.
