Operative treatments include arthroscopic capsular release of the shoulder and joint manipulation under anesthesia. Non-operative options include corticosteroid intra-articular injections, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), and physical therapy. Physical therapy may be performed under the supervision of a physical therapist. However, exercises are more often performed in the home setting, in which no health care professional is present to monitor exercise quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presently, there are no commonly available devices that can record shoulder use during exercise and provide assistive measures such as heating and patient\/doctor feedback. Having such a device can be greatly beneficial in helping improve the effectiveness of the physical therapy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to COVID-19, the ACS Assist development has been placed on hold for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year (3\/23\/20) Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder (ACS), also known as Frozen Shoulder, is a Musculoskeletal Condition involving the thickening and inflammation of the Synovial Shoulder Capsule.
