“…In a Korean survey performed in a rural area among residents over 40 years of age, the prevalence of shoulder pain was 43%, with higher prevalence and higher average pain score among women compared with men. 1 Its cause is related to many different pathologies, and both articular structures and periarticular soft tissues may be involved. For this reason, it is often diffi cult to detect and identify the site of anatomical alteration with clinical examinations alone.…”

The objectives of this study were to identify ultrasonographic (US) abnormalities and to compare physical examination with US findings, especially of rotator cuff abnormalities in patients with shoulder pain. A total of 120 patients with shoulder pain were prospectively studied. The physical examination of shoulders was performed as follows: (1) the area of tenderness; (2) the range of passive and active motion for abduction, forward flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation; (3) Neer and Hawkins's tests for shoulder impingement; and (4) maneuvers for determining the location of the tendon lesions. Transverse and longitudinal planes from the long head of the biceps, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis tendons, the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, and the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints were included for US examination. The range of motion most affected by shoulder pain was abduction, followed by external rotation and forward flexion. The most frequent US finding was effusion in the long head of the biceps tendon. Among the rotator cuff tendons, supraspinatus was the most frequently involved. Physical examination had low sensitivity and specificity for the detection of tendon tear. US examination leads to an anatomical diagnosis of shoulder pain in many patients. Whether the US examination of the painful shoulder improves its treatment should be investigated.

“…The majority of patients in Korea who experience shoulder pain postpone visiting the hospital until no effect is achieved with a variety of conservative treatments such as physical therapy or acupuncture or significant dysfunction or severe pain is experienced. Because of this, it is difficult to identify and treat the cause of the pain early [ 6 ]. In this research, among 60 shoulder cases, 39 (65%) were painful and 15 (25%) experienced a moderate degree of pain with a VAS score of four points or higher.…”

“…Despite active studies that have been conducted overseas on the treatment and prevalence of shoulder pain [ 1 - 5 ], studies on the prevalence of shoulder pain and that of rotator cuff diseases that cause shoulder pain in Korea remain limited [ 6 ]. Accordingly, we examined 60 shoulder cases of 30 adults older than 40 years of age living in Chuncheon city, Korea and nearby areas to determine the prevalence of rotator cuff diseases that cause shoulder pain in this population.…”

Background: To determine the prevalence of rotator cuff diseases in a population older than 40 years in or nearby Chuncheon city, Republic of Korea.Methods: Sixty shoulders of 30 people older than 40 years who participated in a health lecture were examined for free by an orthopedic surgeon. Visual analog scale of pain and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were assigned, and routine physical examination was performed. Ultrasonography was performed on the shoulder. Results: On ultrasonographic examination, there were one shoulder with full thickness rotator cuff tear, 20 of 60 (33%) with partial thickness rotator cuff tear, five of 60 (8%) with calcific tendinitis, one of 60 (2%) with tear of the long head of the biceps, and five of 50 (8%) with tendinitis of the long head of the biceps. Participants older than 60 years showed significantly high proportions of lesion of the long head of the biceps and rotator cuff diseases (P=0.019 and P=0.015, respectively). Participants who performed physical labor had high proportions of rotator cuff tear and rotator cuff disease (P=0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Rotator cuff diseases showed a high prevalence in elderly persons and resulted in a decrease in shoulder function.
