Frozen shoulder (FS) or adhesive capsulitis is a common disease which causes pain, difficulty and restriction in the movement of the shoulder joint due to unclear complex etiology. The everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing and driving become difficult. It affects both men and women especially in their 40s and 60s. The duration of the disease varies from one patient to another and it may last...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate serial changes for histology of joint capsule and range of motion of the glenohumeral joint after immobilization in rats. We hypothesized that a rat shoulder contracture model using immobilization would be capable of producing effects on the glenohumeral joint similar to those seen in patients with frozen shoulder. METHODS Sixty-four S...

Background. Frozen shoulder syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disease of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) that causes long-term pain and physical disability. A better understanding of the associated factors can help identify PD patients who will require prevention to improve their quality of life. Methodology. This prospective study evaluated 60 shoulders of 30 PD patients. Correlation an...

UNLABELLED Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis describes the common shoulder condition characterized by painful and limited active and passive range of motion. The etiology of frozen shoulder remains unclear; however, patients typically demonstrate a characteristic history, clinical presentation, and recovery. A classification schema is described, in which primary frozen shoulder and idiopat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of linearly polarized near-infrared irradiation (Super Lizer) combined with aerothermotherapy in the treatment of patients with frozen shoulder and diabetes. METHODS Eighty-four diabetic patients with frozen shoulder were randomized into 3 groups to receive a 20-day treatment with drug therapy and shoulder exercise (control group), daily linearly polarized nea...

Comparison of the Effect Codman Exercises and Scapular Rhythm on Pain External Rotation Shoulder in Women with Frozen Syndrome

OBJECTIVE To compare three dimensional movement patterns of the affected and non-affected shoulder in patients with a frozen shoulder before and after physical therapy. METHODS Patients with a unilateral frozen shoulder were assessed before and after three months of treatment. Three dimensional movement analysis was performed with the "Flock of Birds" electromagnetic tracking device while the...

Purpose: To determine rotator cuff pathologies in patients with painful and stiff shoulder using plain magnetic resonance imaging, and to assess differences in patients’ characteristics and patterns of fluid collection in and around the shoulder joint. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed on 130 shoulders of 126 patients who were 40 years or older with passive flexion 120 ...

Few previous studies have investigated the pathomechanism and managements of rotator cuff lesions with shoulder stiffness. Based on observations by Codman in 1934, frozen shoulder presumably relates to rotator cuff tendenitis. In the past six decades, tended to discriminate primary frozen shoulder from secondary shoulder stiffness due to shoulder disorders such as rotator cuff lesions or trauma...
