Background: This study aimed to evaluate the severity of adhesion between muscles in the shoulder joint using dynamic ultrasonography and to confirm whether adhesions cause range of motion (ROM) restrictions
Methods: Twenty-four shoulders from 15 frozen shoulder patients and 24 shoulders from 18 rotator cuff disorder patients were enrolled. We obtained ultrasound video sequences of the subscapularis (SSC) and deltoid muscles during shoulder external rotation. The mean stretching velocities of the deltoid and SSC were subsequently analyzed using a personal computer. If adhesions occurred between both muscles, the deltoid was stretched more vigorously, and we calculated mean stretching velocity of the deltoid / SSC as adhesion severity. The coracohumeral ligament thickness was measured using the same images. Shoulder ROM was measured by using a universal goniometer
Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (1.1) and (2.1) of the adhesion severity measurements were 0.85 and 0.91, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the adhesion severity is a significant predictor for external rotation ROM in the rotator cuff disorder group (R2 = 0.44, F = 10.1, P < .01, t = -2.9), while coracohumeral ligament thickness predicts ROM in the frozen shoulder group (R2 = 0.28, F = 5.5, P = .01, t = -3.0)
Conclusion: The proposed method is reliable. Muscle adhesion causes ROM restriction of the shoulder joint. The primary cause of shoulder ROM restriction differed between the diagnostic groups
