Frozen shoulder: methods for bringing about early mobilization.

Frozen shoulder, rare in the young but more easily incurred after age 40, is a result of immobilization from any cause. Atrophy is the first phase, followed by shortening of soft tissues, pain on extension, spasm contractures and adhesions. Mobilization is urgent to prevent contractures. Rotation is the most important exercise, and should be done with the upper arm supported in nearly horizontal extension to prevent the humeral head from impinging on the acromion. From this position the forearm, lifting or pulling down in a forward are against weights and pulleys, restores the rotatory power of the shoulder.

Industrial injury; a dynamic concept for rehabilitation.

Present methods of work capability evaluation are frequently subjective, disputable, and nonobjective. There is inadequate reconditioning especially in cases of older workmen where a return to previous employment under competitive conditions is expected. A "capability evaluation center" is suggested as a possible solution. It should be so organized as to preserve the patient's incentive to return to full production if possible, let him know his potential if less than it was before injury, and help him overcome any tendency that he might have to seek refuge in invalidism.

Rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia.

Many patients with hemiplegia can be rehabilitated. Physiological reflexes may be used in attempting to establish patterns of motion and are of definite aid in overcoming contractures. Physical and occupational therapy is of value.
