Shoulder stiffness

Most important problems of shoulder stiffness concern the movement between the humerus (arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). Thus specific evaluation of this aspect of motion (rather than overall shoulder motion) is important in determining the problem and optimal management. This is accomplished by examining the movement of the arm with one hand while the shoulder blade is held still with the other.
