Dr. Kp Singh, Aavrati Rastogi
Abstract :
The shoulder is a very complex joint that is crucial to many activities of daily living. Decreased shoulder mobility is a serious clinical finding. A globaldecrease in shoulder range of motion is called adhesive capsulitis, referring to the actual adherence of the shoulder capsule to the humeral head. Adhesivecapsulitis is a syndrome defined as idiopathic restriction of shoulder movement that is usually painful at onset. Secondary causes include alteration of thesupporting structures of and around the shoulder, and autoimmune, endocrine or other systemic diseases. The three defined stages of this condition arethe painful stage, the adhesive stage and the recovery stage. Although recovery is usually spontaneous, treatment with intra–articular corticosteroids andgentle but persistent physical therapy may provide a better outcome, resulting in little functional compromise.1
