BACKGROUND Hydrodilatation of the glenohumeral joint is by several authors reported to improve shoulder pain and range of motion for patients with adhesive capsulitis. Procedures described often involve the injection of corticosteroids, to which the reported treatment effects may be attributed. Any important contribution arising from the hydrodilatation procedure itself remains to be demonstrat...

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of timing of manipulation under anaesthesia for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder on the long-term outcome. One hundred and eighty consecutive patients with a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis according to Codman's criteria were selected from a shoulder surgery database; 145 were available for follow-up after a mean period of 62 months (ran...

Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis is a painful impairment characterized by the restriction of movement shoulder due to adhesions across glenohumeral joint, injection platelet-rich plasma effective treatment reduce pain and restore shoulder.
 Aim: To assess effectiveness single PRP in management adhesive capsulitis.
 Material Methods: This study enrolled 12 patients experiencing for at...

Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a common condition involving scapulohumeral pain and loss of motion. This condition was termed ‘‘peri-arthritis scapulohumerale’’ by Duplay in 1896. Codman, in 1934, characterized the diagnosis of ‘‘frozen shoulder’’ as a condition characterized by pain and reduced range of motion in the affected shoulder. Neviaser, in the prearthroscopic e...

[Purpose] The aim of our study was to compare the initial effects of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques and classic exercise interventions with physiotherapy modalities on pain, scapular dyskinesis, range of motion, and function in adhesive capsulitis. [Subjects and Methods] Fifty-three subjects were allocated to 3 groups: scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilit...

Objectives This study aims to explore whether extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) based on the theory of fascial manipulation (FM) at select treatment points is superior to traditional local ESWT for pain relief in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Methods Data from patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder who received weekly ESWT according to fascial manipulation theory (ES...

BACKGROUND Appilication of MR imaging to diagnose Adhesive Capsulitis (AC) has previously been described. However, there is insufficient information available for the MRI analysis of AC. This study is to describe and evaluate the pathomorphology of the shoulder in Asian patients with AC compared to healthy volunteers. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS 60 Asian patients with clinically diagnosed ...
