♨️ PAINFUL ARC SYNDROME♨️

Painful Arc Syndrome refers to shoulder pain that occurs within a specific arc of arm elevation, typically between 60° and 120° of abduction. Outside this range, movement is usually less painful or pain-free.

---

🎯 Common Causes:

1. Supraspinatus tendinopathy or partial tear

2. Subacromial bursitis

3. Shoulder impingement syndrome

4. Calcific tendinitis

5. Acromioclavicular (AC) joint pathology (pain > 160°)

---

📌 Clinical Features:

Pain during active shoulder abduction, especially between 60°–120°

No pain during passive abduction

Pain subsides after 120°

Often worse with overhead activities

May have night pain or difficulty sleeping on affected shoulder

---

🧪 Diagnosis:

Observation during shoulder abduction

Hawkins-Kennedy test, Neer’s impingement test

MRI or ultrasound may reveal rotator cuff or bursa involvement

---

🧠 Differential Diagnosis:

Rotator cuff tear

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

Labral tear

AC joint arthritis (if pain at >160° abduction)

---

💪 Physiotherapy Treatment:

✅ Acute Phase:

Rest and avoid painful arc movements

Ice therapy 🧊

Anti-inflammatory medications (if prescribed)

✅ Subacute to Chronic Phase:

Postural correction

Strengthening exercises for rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers

Stretching of tight shoulder muscles

Manual therapy techniques to reduce subacromial pressure

Therapeutic modalities (ultrasound, TENS, laser)

---

✳️ Electrotherapy:

TENS for pain

Ultrasound to reduce inflammation

IFT to stimulate blood flow

---

🎯 Exercise Examples:

Pendulum exercises

Wall crawls

Isometric rotator cuff strengthening

Scapular setting exercises

✅ Physio Masud

❗ Important Note:

If untreated, painful arc syndrome can progress to chronic rotator cuff tear or frozen shoulder.
