Brief Summary

Shoulder problems cause substantial disability in daily living, work, leisure activity, and exercise. The presence of shoulder problem such as rotator cuff pathology reported was highly predictive of impaired health-related quality of life. Many tests were used for physical examination of the shoulder. The reliability and validity of the tests have been studied before. However, a systemic review concluded that there was conflicting evidence in reliability of each or combined tests. Functional examination of the shoulder by Cyriax is composed of a series of tests to evaluate a shoulder problem. It includes three arm elevation, three tests for glenohumeral joints, and six resisted tests. As far as the investigators know, correlation of Cyriax functional examination with the ultrasonographic findings has never been reported before. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the clinical diagnosis by Cyriax's functional examination with ultrasound findings in patients with shoulder pain.

Conditions

Shoulder Pain

Keywords

Cyriax's functional examination; Ultrasound; Correlation; Resisted test

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Cyriax's functional examination for diagnosis

  After Cyriax's functional examination for evaluating shoulder pain, a clinical diagnosis is made by the physician

  1 week

• Ultrasound examination for diagnosis

  Ultrasound examination is done in one week after Cyriax's functional examination for detailed shoulder pathology evaluation.

  1 week
