The contribution is aimed at recommendation of a comprehensive procedure of kinesiotherapy in patients after fractures of proximal end of humerus. It is based on knowledge of functional anatomy, biomechanic and development kinesiology of shoulder girdle. This algorithm was developed at our workplace, improved and tested on a group of patients. The basic elements include an early start of therapy, scapulothoracic mobility, active support of the upper extremity (motion in closed kinematic chains), aimed myofascial treatment, and movement in diagonal directions.
