Introduction: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a musculoskeletal disorder affecting the glenohumeral joint. This condition leads to disability and a worsening in quality of life. Despite its considerable impact on patients and its economic burden, research on the psychological and social implications of FS-as well as patients' perspectives and needs-is limited.

- - The scoping review aims to identify and map clinical features of rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy (RCCT) to allow for early hypothesis formation before imaging is done.
- - Researchers analyzed data from four databases, ultimately reviewing 50 studies out of 851 records, revealing that subjects frequently experience severe, unilateral shoulder pain and limited motion, primarily affecting women aged 30-60.
- - Key findings suggest that recognizing specific clinical criteria for RCCT can help clinicians diagnose the condition more effectively and promptly, enhancing patient care.
Objective: Frozen Shoulder (FS) is a musculoskeletal pathology that leads to disability, functional decline, and a worsening in quality of life. Physiotherapists are the primary professionals involved in the treatment of FS, and it is essential to determine if their practice aligns with evidence-based suggestions.
Aim: The aim is to assess the knowledge, skills, and operational strategies of Italian physiotherapists regarding FS and compare them with the existing literature.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between mental and physical health-related quality of life and the outcomes of conservative treatment in patients with frozen shoulder (FS).
Methods: This was a two-center retrospective study. It included 84 consecutive patients who underwent a 3-month treatment comprising education, physical therapy, and corticosteroid-anesthetic injections.
Background: Frozen Shoulder (FS) is a painful condition characterized by severe pain and progressive restriction of shoulder movement, leading to functional impairment and reduced quality of life. While different Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) tools exist for assessing shoulder diseases, few specific PROMs are validated for FS patients.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire in FS patients.
Purpose: Pain is a complex, intimate, and subjective experience influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. This case report investigates the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary team approach in addressing chronic pain and pain-related fear.
Case Description: The case report describes a 22-year-old female who experienced anterior knee pain for seven years, despite undergoing two knee surgeries and physiotherapy without improvement.
Purpose: This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of electrophysical agents in improving pain, function, disability, range of motion, quality of life, perceived stiffness, and time to recovery in subjects with frozen shoulder (FS).
Methods: A thorough search of MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PEDro, and EMBASE yielded 1143 articles, of which 23 randomized controlled trials were included. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed through Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool.
Background: The Shoulder and Pain Disability Index (SPADI) is a widely used outcome measure. The aim of this study is to explore the reliability and validity of SPADI in a sample of patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder.
Methods: The SPADI was administered to 124 patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder.
Purpose: To investigate whether psychological factors, such as avoidance behavior, fear, pain catastrophization, kinesiophobia, anxiety, depression, optimism, and expectation are associated with different subjective and functional baseline scores in patients with frozen shoulder contracture syndrome (FSCS).
Methods: Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL Database), PEDro, Pubpsych, and PsychNET.APA without restrictions applied to language, date, or status of publication.
To evaluate the relationship between kinesiophobia and patient's return to sport after shoulder stabilization surgery. The hypothesis was that kinesiophobia represents an independent factor correlated to the difference between preinjury and postoperative level of sport. This study retrospectively evaluated 66 patients (mean age: 35.

The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the Italian versions of the SPADI, SST, and UCLA in patients after shoulder surgery for anterior instability.
Materials And Methods: The study population included 98 patients.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate validity and responsiveness of the Degree of Shoulder Involvement in Sport (DOSIS) scale.
Methods: A web-based survey was developed to test the construct validity of the DOSIS scale. Fifty-three patients with a median age of 33 years (range 17-59) were included in the study.
