DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Shulder Ultrasound

Ultrasound Shoulder Pathology Rating Scale (USPRS) will be used in the evaluation. While the participants are in a sitting position; A total of 5 variables, including bicipital tendinopathy, supraspinatus tendinopathy, greater tuberculum cortical surface irregularity, supraspinatus dynamic and subscapularis dynamic examination, are evaluated and scored according to the level of pathology; The total USPRS score is obtained by adding the scores of all variables. Another parameter evaluated by ultrasonography in this study is the acromiohumeral distance measurement. In AH distance measurement with MSK-US, two measurements will be made with all participants in a neutral resting position and their hands at the top of the circle with the elbow angle of 110 °. In both positions, the probe will be placed longitudinally at the lateral point of the acromion determined by palpation, the distance determined between the acromion and the humeral head will be displayed and measured.
