To evaluate the baseline range of abduction in individuals with shoulder tendinitis

Abstract

Tendinitis, or inflammation and irritation of the tendons in the shoulder joint, is a common musculoskeletal ailment. People who suffer from shoulder tendonitis frequently notice restrictions in their range of motion (ROM), especially when it comes to abduction. In order to establish treatment options and evaluate the efficacy of therapies, it is essential to understand the baseline range of abduction in these people. To learn more about the normal range of motion for shoulders affected by tendinitis, researchers performed a systematic review. Relevant research were sought after by searching electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Research including goniometry or motion capture measurements of the initial range of motion in patients with shoulder tendonitis was considered. Findings from this systematic study give light on the normal range of motion for shoulders affected by tendinitis. Individualized evaluation and treatment planning are crucial, since the results show that patients with this syndrome exhibit diversity in abduction range. To further understand the causes of shoulder tendinitis and the variables that affect abduction range of motion, as well as the efficacy of treatments to increase ROM in this group, additional studies are required.
