Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Painful shoulder Comparison with findings of Physical Examination
Background: Shoulder pain is typically characterized by symptoms in various joints, muscles, tendons, and bursa involved with shoulder motion. Onset of shoulder pain is variable and can occur with no direct cause, or it can be related to trauma, repetitive movements, inflammatory conditions or a neurological event (i.e., a stroke). Shoulder pain often causes shortterm activity limitation and less frequently develops into a chronic condition.
