Abstract

Physical therapists in a variety of settings treat individuals with frozen shoulder syndrome. Frozen shoulder syndrome is a condition in which a soft tissue glenohumeral capsular lesion is accompanied by painful and restricted active and passive shoulder motion. Despite its common occurrence, there is a significant knowledge void concerning frozen shoulder syndrome and its treatment. The purpose of this paper was to review the literature and to advance clear, current information regarding the clinical manifestations of frozen shoulder syndrome; its natural history; and views regarding pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and treatment. Further research is necessary to elucidate a clear, factual basis for therapeutic interventions.
