Study Notes
Frozen Shoulder Stages
- Stage 1: Painful and Pre-Adhesive Stage
- Duration: 0-3 months
- Symptoms: Mild erythematous synovitis, sharp pain at end ranges of motion (ROM), achy pain at rest and sleep disturbance, mild decrease in ROM
- Key point: Loss of external rotation with an intact rotator cuff must be recognized to avoid misdiagnosis with impingement.
- Stage 2: Acute Adhesive or “Freezing” Stage
- Duration: 3-9 months
- Symptoms: Thickened red synovitis, very painful end ranges of all motions, ROM loss becomes more profound and sustained with or without anesthesia
- Key Point: Synovial fluid analysis (EUA) reveals connective tissue changes resulting in loss of motion.
- Stage 3: Thawing Stage
- Tightness of adductors: pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major
- Weakness of shoulder retractors and internal rotators: middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids
Frozen Shoulder Differential Diagnosis
- Decreased cervical range of motion
- Crepitus (clicking or cracking sound)
- Tenderness
- Spasm
- Neurological assessment of the upper extremities
- Gait and lower extremity reflexes assessment
Cervical Spondylosis Differential Diagnosis
- Adhesive capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
- Cervical disc disease
- Cervical sprain and strain
- Myofascial Pain
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
