Study population: Patients who had a preliminary diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or Orthopedics clinic later confirmed by MRI.

Brief summary: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in patients with a clinical prediagnosis of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and inferior glenohumeral capsuloligamentous complex (IGHCC) involvement demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Detailed description: The study will include a total of 30 patients who will be diagnosed with AC based on clinical evaluation by physicians from various clinical departments, including physical medicine and rehabilitation, and orthopedics. The diagnosis will be confirmed by two experienced radiologists specializing in musculoskeletal imaging. Based on clinical evaluation and MRI findings, a control group of 34 individuals without suspected AC will be included. MRI imaging will be performed using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. Sonoelastography will be performed using a Siemens Acuson-S2000 ultrasound device with a 9L4 (4-9 MHz) linear probe and the Virtual Touch Quantification (VTQ/ARFI) method. Shear wave elastography will be applied to the IGHCC to obtain the mean shear wave velocity (SWV) values. The contribution of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in patients with a clinical prediagnosis of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and inferior glenohumeral capsuloligamentous complex (IGHCC) involvement will be investigated.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Having a preliminary diagnosis of Adhesive Capsulitis in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or Orthopedics clinic and the diagnosis confirmed by MRI
* Giving consent to participate

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of tumor, arthritis, surgical history, or trauma history in the relevant shoulder joint
* Cervical radiculopathy, a central or peripheral neurological deficit in the upper extremity
* Incomplete sequences or inability to evaluate images due to artifacts in MRI imaging
* Presence of pain and/or limited movement to the extent that it hinders positioning or manipulation for ultrasound examination
* Unwillingness to participate in the study voluntarily
