CONFIDENT IN MANAGING FROZEN SHOULDERS?

The guideline by Kelley et al. (2013) can give you a great red line in the assessment and treatment of Frozen Shoulder to start with!

P.S. We were actually surprised that the authors describe 4 phases of FS! 🤔 (Link to the articles in the comment section)

Hip Muscle Strength Predicts Noncontact ACL Injury in Male and Female Athletes: A Prospective Study - 2016

RESULTS: Baseline hip strength measures (external rotation and abduction) were significantly lower in injured athletes compared with noninjured athletes (P = .003 and P < .001, respectively).

Clinical cutoffs to define high risk were established as external rotation strength ≤20.3% BW (percentage of body weight) or abduction strength ≤35.4% BW.

CONC: Measures of preseason isometric hip abduction and external rotation strength independently predicted future noncontact ACL injury status in competitive athletes. The study data suggest that screening procedures to assess ACL injury risk should include an assessment of isometric hip abduction and/or external rotation strength.
