5 August 2015 - New research
Frozen Shoulder Syndrome, which is a common musculoskeletal disease in Parkinson's
Disease has been found to occur at times in nearly half of people with Parkinson's Disease.
The shoulder becomes stiff and so greatly restricts movement of the shoulder. It can cause
chronic pain and physical disability. For more information go to :
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/frozen-shoulder/basics/definition/con-20022510
Frozen Shoulder Syndrome can more commonly affect
people with Parkinson's Disease, with from 12% to 46% of
people with Parkinson's Disease being affected. Shoulder
problems generally occur far more commonly in Parkinson's
Disease. Those prone to Frozen Shoulder Syndrome had
initial symptoms of akinesia twice as frequently as tremor. In
at least 8% of people with Parkinson's Disease who have
Frozen Shoulder Syndrome, frozen shoulder syndrome was
the first symptom, occurring up to 2 years before other
common symptoms. However, the "frozen shoulders" and
pain can respond to L-dopa.
