@qnsystyqgb233: Adhesive capsulitis, commonly referred to as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterised by progressive shoulder stiffness and pain without an identifiable intrinsic shoulder pathology. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons defines it as a condition of varying severity, marked by a gradual loss of both active and passive shoulder motion, with no significant radiographic abnormalities other than possible osteopenia. Frozen shoulder typically develops without a clear cause, although it is more common in individuals with systemic conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders. It can also occur following trauma, surgery, or prolonged immobility, though these cases are considered secondary rather than primary. The hallmark feature of the condition is a significant restriction in movement, which affects daily activities and can lead to discomfort even at rest. Pain and stiffness progress over time, initially presenting as a painful phase where movement becomes increasingly difficult. As the condition advances, stiffness becomes more pronounced, though pain may begin to subside. Eventually, motion starts to return gradually, though full recovery can take time and varies between individuals. Imaging studies typically do not show structural damage to the shoulder joint, distinguishing frozen shoulder from other shoulder pathologies. Frozen shoulder can last anywhere from several months to a few years, with most cases resolving within one to three years. Active and passive range of motion are significantly limited, particularly in external rotation, abduction, and internal rotation. These restrictions make daily activities like reaching overhead, fastening a seatbelt, or putting on clothes difficult. 🎥Cc:. @bradley_blair_osteopath . . . . #emission #physiotherapy #shoulderjoint #frozenshoulder #pathology #pathophysiology #capsulitis #adhesivecapsulitis #inflammation #movementrestiction #rom #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #rehabilitation #healthgoals
