Shoulder pain
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Shoulder pain is a common and important musculoskeletal problem. Compromised shoulder movement due to pain, stiffness, or weakness can cause substantial disability and affect a person’s ability to carry out daily activities. Common shoulder disorders exhibit similar clinical features, and the lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria. This review proposes an evidence based approach using a simplified classification of shoulder problems, incorporating diagnostic techniques applicable to a primary care consultation and a “red flag” system to identify potentially serious disease.
