Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study included patients with adhesive capsulitis, which was defined as follows: insidious onset of shoulder pain and limitations of both active and passive range of motion (forward flexion<100°, external rotation at the side of 0-20°, and internal rotation below the thoracic vertebral level), and no history of major trauma, infection or surgery around the affected shoulder. All patients underwent a thorough history, physical examination, and radiographic imaging studies, including standard plain radiographs and ultrasound imaging scan by the treating orthopedic surgeon.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria for the study were; (1) patients who diagnosed rotator cuff tear, calcific tendinitis or impingement syndrome by ultrasound imaging, (2) patients with cervical spine disease which could influence peripheral nervous system, (3) patients with previous fracture around shoulder or shoulder surgery, and (4) acute or chronic infection around shoulder.
