Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is a condtion in which the capsule of the glenohumeral joint is inflamed. It is characterized by a painful, gradual loss of both active and passive glenohumeral motion, resulting from progressive fibrosis and contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule. <ref name="null">Andrew S.

Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
To search for information about adhesive capsulitis, medical databases, such as Pubmed and PEDro, were used. Keywords I used to find information are adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder, treatment AND adhesive capsulitis, exercises AND adhesive capsulitis.
Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is a condtion in which the capsule of the glenohumeral joint is inflamed. It is characterized by a painful, gradual loss of both active and passive glenohumeral motion, resulting from progressive fibrosis and contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule. [1] [2] Contracture is defined as shortening of connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, and cartilage) and caused by excessive arthrofibrosis, immobilization, inactivation and adhesions.[3]
Adhesive capsulitis is described as being either primary or secondary. Primary, or idiopathic, adhesive capsulitis is due to an unknown cause, whereas secondary adhesive capsulitis results from a known cause or surgical event. [4]
