Glenohumeral disorders
Adhesive capsulitis most often presents between the ages of 40 to 65 years, and osteoarthritis in those aged 60 years or older.
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and arthritis often present with a history of non-adhesive capsulitis symptoms, cause deep joint pain, and restrict activities such as putting on a jacket - because of impaired external rotation.
Adhesive capsulitis is more common in people with diabetes and may also occur after prolonged immobilisation.
There is usually generalised shoulder pain and a restriction of passive and active movements.
