Biomechanical and kinetotherapeutical aspects of the scapulo-humeral periarthritis syndrome

Abstract

Scapulohumeral periarthritis is a clinical syndrome characterized by pain, joint redness, and functional impotence determined by pathological processes located at the shoulder level and affecting the periarticular structures: ligaments, joint capsule, tendons, and muscles. The form of scapulohumeral periarthritis successfully benefits from the treatment of stabilization and biomechanical and neuromuscular balancing, in kinetotherapy applications. In conclusion, in the recovery of scapulohumeral periarthritis, the kinetotherapeutic treatment intervenes to prevent loss of mobility and prevent fibrosis, restoring muscle strength, stability, and controlled movements of the shoulder.
