Summary
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the changes in the tissue thickness of the abnormal supraspinatus and biceps long-head tendons among elderly patients to select the treatment targets and evaluate the treatment effects in the freezing phase of adhesive capsulitis. [Participants and Methods] Thirty-two elderly patients with unilateral shoulder pain underwent ultrasound of the supraspinatus and biceps long-head tendons, pain evaluation, and orthopedic testing. Both the supraspinatus and biceps long-head tendons were classified as normal, abnormal, and other groups. Participants with negative orthopedic test results were assigned the "normal group". Participants with positive orthopedic test results and resting and night pain were assigned the "abnormal group". Differences in tissue thickness were calculated from the differences between the symptomatic and non-symptomatic sides. [Results] The thickness of the supraspinatus and biceps long-head tendons was significantly higher in the abnormal than in the normal group. [Conclusion] This study clarified the changes in tissue thickness of the abnormal supraspinatus and biceps long-head tendons among elderly patients to select the treatment targets and assess the treatment effects in the freezing phase of adhesive capsulitis. The study results suggest the usefulness of ultrasound for selecting the treatment targets for analgesia and assessing the treatment efficacy in cases of adhesive-capsulitis freezing phase.
