Adhesive capsulitis – also known as frozen shoulder, pericapsulitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis or check- rein syndrome. The condition usually resolves spontaneously after about 18 months. Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal disorder mainly affecting middle aged adults. Also self care activities and occupational activities decreases depends on which shoulder is involved, for instance, self care, grooming, combing hair, eating and dressing are impaired if right shoulder is involved for right handed person, on the other hand dressing and perineal care are hampered if left shoulder is involved.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i1.19423

Review question / Objective: Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder prompting many patients to seek treatment. Thermotherapy is a common treatment for shoulder which has been widely used in hospitals. But its efficiency has not been scientifically and methodically evaluated. This protocol aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Thermotherapy for treating shoulder pain. Information sources: Eight databases will be searched from their inception to October 2021. They are as follows: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Weipu Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and Wanfang Database. There will be no limitation to study publication status or language. The search terms include shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff, bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, thermotherapy, diathermy, heat therapy, Moxibustion, and RCTs. The equivalent search words will be used in the Chinese databases.

This study aims to determine the best available non-operative approach for adhesive capsulitis and to create a guided treatment plan based on the research and evidence. An electronic search of multiple databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Wiley Online Library, Google Scholar, and Ovid Medline was completed. Search terms included “adhesive capsulitis”, “frozen shoulder”, “adhesive capsulitis treatments”, and “frozen shoulder treatments”. Exclusion criteria included articles that were published before the year 1984 and non-peer reviewed articles. Seventy-four articles were retrieved from the original search, and of those forty-nine articles were included and twenty-five were excluded. In the available research and literature, there is no clear consensus of one non-operative approach against the other. There is however clear evidence that intra-articular corticosteroid injections provide pain relief in the short term. There may be a role for the other non-operative interventions in the treatment for adhesive capsulitis but the current evidence does not support them being implemented as standalone treatment options. In order to determine the best available non-operative approach for adhesive capsulitis there is a need for higher quality randomized controlled trials moving forward. The available literature has limitations that would restrict one to formulate a consensus on a guided treatment plan.

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the general population. Its prevalence is 2-5% in the general population and 10-20% among diabetics. It predominantly affects females and most commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60 years. The left shoulder is more likely to be affected, with both shoulders affected in 12% of cases. A case study is presented to illustrate the clinical presentation, aetiology, diagnosis, radiological assessment, and management of frozen shoulder through Hijamah bila shurt (dry cupping) in a 60-year-old diabetic male patient. The present case was studied for over 8 weeks; Hijamah (dry cupping) was done on prescribed points for the affected shoulder twice a week for 8 weeks, and assessment was done at baseline and every 2 weeks. This study concluded that regimental therapy Hijamah bila shurt (dry cupping) has a significant effect in reducing pain, stiffness of joints, and increasing range of motion in frozen shoulder.

Summary The aim of the research was to find out the realization of the physical activity among the middle-aged adults by the association with their health, retrospective of the factor contributing to the transfer of the physical activity to the adulthood. The monitored group consisted of 742 respondents of the middle-aged adults from the Southern Districts of Slovakia, of which 403 were the women (age = 37.2 ± 3.04 years) and 339 were the men (age = 36.5 ± 4.54 years) as the selection was deliberate. The monitoring was conducted by the three stages in 2014, through the so-called “Egészség és mozgás” - “Health and Movement” standardized, anonymous questionnaire, which consisted of 60 questions. Our findings point to the stated facts. The findings found the relationship between the health and fitness among the men (r = 0.8300), as well as among the women (r = 0.7193). The relationship between the physical activity and the feeling of health was recorded only among the men (r = 0.8921), while the relationship between the health problems and the feeling of health was also found among the men (r = 0.739), as well as among the women (r = 0, 6714). At the same time, the men perceive the importance of the physical activity, in terms of their health condition (r = 0.8791) more intense than the women. The physical education was significantly (χ2 = 112.47, p < 0.01) among the men (67.6 %, n = 229), opposite to the women (33.7 %; n = 136) contributed to the transfer of the physical activity from the school environment to the adulthood. The stated findings show that the targeted education of the population, even from the childhood with the other effective, preventive measures is very important.

Background: Frozen shoulder is a commonly occurring disease of the population. It is also referred to as shoulder capsulitis. It causes pain and stiffness of the shoulder and dominant in left shoulder. Various things are still unclear regarding the treatment and causes of this disease. It is a painful and n quickly healed disease. Patients show recovery but are often unable to regain their full potential movements. Painful stiffness of the shoulder is an ill-described medical entity, this is hard to evaluate and sensitive to treat. The nomenclature sed and consists of phrinclude cluding frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, focal dystrophy, stiff shoulder, shriveled shoulder, and following. Apart from its idiopathic form, the disease can be initiated with the resource of the usage of trauma, infection, tumor, radiation, systemic and neighborhood metabolic concerns. Patho- anatomically, the common place region denominates an inflammatory vascular proliferation found with the resource of the usage thickening, scarring, and retraction of the joint cover. Summary: The inflammatory technique frequently begins to evolved on the rotator language and can increase to the subacromial space. Clinical analysis is primarily based totally records and bodily examination. Generally, the onset of ache precedes the belief of a discounted variety of movement with the aid of using weeks or months. In early ranges of ailment, the inflammatory form of ache dominates, the patient's most important criticism is ache at night. In the later stage, variety of movement step by step decreases. Patients no longer frequently whine approximately decreased movement, likely due to its gradual onset. Conclusion: Treatment options are a mixture of mobilization carrying sports with intra-articular steroids, hydraulic distension of the joint capsule, manipulation below anaesthesia,arthroscopic and/or open arthrosis.The appropriate preference of protocol is really as critical as its correct timing. In the inflammatory phase, competitive invasive protocols are uncommon, but deleterious and therefore need to be taken into consideration. New anti- angiogenic outlets also can moreover enhance beneficial effects and shorten the rehabilitation phase.
