Adhesive capsulitis (AC), also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition associated with shoulder pain and stiffness.

Localized pain on the anterior shoulder suggests subacromial impingement, whereas posterior shoulder pain suggests internal impingement. [45] For the diagnosis of full-thickness rotator cuff tear, the best combination appears to include once more the painful arc and weakness in external rotation, and in addition, the drop arm sign .
