Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a painful condition that limits the movement of the shoulder joint. The term adhesive capsulitis refers to the stiffening of the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. Several alternative terms are used to describe this condition in the medical literature, including shoulder contracture, periarthritis, pericapsulitis, and shoulder stiffness. Some clinicians also refer to it as "21st-century shoulder," reflecting its increasing prevalence in modern society due to sedentary lifestyles and computer work. Although these terms describe the same condition, they may be used to convey different aspects of the pathology, such as inflammation or the extent of joint restriction.
