Summary

Frozen shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis) is a painful condition that affects the shoulder joint. This is a painful condition in which the movement of the shoulder becomes limited. Normally, the soft tissue surrounding the shoulder joint (capsule) is usually stretchy and elastic allowing joint mobility. Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule around the shoulder joint becomes thickened and inflamed, causing pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. This painful stiffening over time leads to sleep disturbance and limits ability to use arm in day-to-day activities.

Kinesiophobia (fear of movement) defined as "an excessive, irrational, and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability due to painful injury or reinjury" is an important psychological factor in musculoskeletal disorders. Kinesiophobia has been implicated in the transition from acute to chronic pain and in the persistence of pain-related disability even after tissue healing.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain, range of motion, disability, and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Participants in the study will only undergo a physical examination and complete some questionnaires; no invasive procedures will be performed.
