Shoulder stiffness is a common cause of shoulder pain and is one of the most frequent reasons for a patient to visit a phyisian. A well-rounded assessment of etiological factors, comorbid diseases, and predisposing factors is required when making a clinical assessment of shoulder stiffness. Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a disease commonly associated with shoulder stiffness, especially in patients over the age of 60. And it has been shown that common risk factors associated with shoulder stiffness in patients who have rotator cuff tendinopathies are calcific tendinitis and diabetes. Studies have found that when repairing rotator cuff lesions in patients with diabetes, manipulation with capsular release rather than manipulation alone results in a better clinical outcome in terms of shoulder stiffness. Rigorously assessing the risk factors and applying the appropriate rehabilitation protocol after rotator cuff repairs are other ways to reduce shoulder stiffness in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathies combined with shoulder stiffness.
