Adhesive Capsulitis Case Study

The patient in question for this case study is a forty-three year old female who works as an administrator, and plays badminton twice a week and has been suffering with right shoulder pain and stiffness. Assessment confirms a diagnosis of right adhesive capsulitis. The pain for her began approximately 10 weeks ago upon waking and for no known reason, this shows that she is at the early stage of the condition (frozen stage 2) and is experiencing pain with

The complete treatment for adhesive capsulitis remains unclear even though numerous interventions have been studied. Previously published prospective studies of effective treatment have demonstrated incompatible results for improving shoulder range of motion in patients with this condition (Ruiz, 2009). Non-operative interventions include patient education, modalities, stretching exercises, and joint mobilizations (Kelley et al., 2009). Levine et al. stated that 89.5% of ninety eight patients with

in the labrum are common in athletes who use repetitive motions of the shoulder, such as football quarterbacks, baseball pitchers and weightlifters. These tears can sometimes be mistaken as glenohumeral join instability, adhesive capsulitis and shoulder impingement (Painful). Case Description: A 25 year old healthy male who is a very active running back in the sport of football came to the emergency room. The patient has a history of previous

Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (Frozen shoulder) affects 3% of the adult population; most commonly a person aged 40-65yrs and is one of the leading causes of shoulder pain. Either shoulder can be affected but generally it occurs in the non-dominant shoulder [1]. The cause is unknown but it is believed that thickening and contraction of the glenohumeral joint capsule and the consequent formation of adhesions cause pain and loss of movement. It can occur spontaneously or following an injury

of SLAP lesions has developed with the improvements in diagnostic imaging, but physical examination tests remain nonspecific.1 Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review three different research studies pertaining to the diagnostic accuracy of SLAP lesion injuries. In a case-control study performed by Oh et al.,2 the main objective was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of 10 different physical examination tests for the diagnosis of type II SLAP lesions. Sixty-eight

Introduction ASTYM works by stimulating the body’s own capacity for healing; it is a new tool that Physical therapists can use mostly in the Outpatient, Orthopedic setting. It focuses on regeneration soft tissues as well as breaking up scars in order to relieve pain, increase range of motion, and overall improve function. From the latest scientific evidence about the healing process (to be discussed later), ASTM is an effective alternative to soft tissue mobilization (hard on clinician), manipulations

withdrawal from normal daily activities and social settings (Ding, Tang, Xue, Yang, Li and He, 2014). As the condition can last up to 3 years the development of mental health conditions, anxiety and/or depression is a significant risk. A clinical study investigating the correlation between AC/FS report that 28.2% and 24.2% of the AC participants had a high risk of depression and anxiety. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of anxiety or depression reported an increase in shoulder pain, higher restriction
