T. Bharaneedharan ^[4] | R. Sharmila ^[7]

Abstract: Periarthritis shoulder is still quite a rare disease, as it only affects the shoulder joint. The clinical condition known as frozen shoulder is characterized by limited active and passive movement in all directions, including flexion, abduction, and rotation pain, stiffness and functional limitation in the humeral joint is one of the shoulder symptoms. There are no other studies that evaluate the prevalence of dominant or non-dominant shoulder in the diabetic PA shoulder and severity level of Shoulder pain and disability level (SPADI). Purpose: To find out the prevalence of dominant and non-dominant shoulder involvement in diabetic PA and severity level of SPADI. Study design: Prevalence study. Method: The convenient sampling method was used for the collection of samples based on selection criteria. Data from 100 samples were collected age above 35 years group. The diagnostic tool used SPADI. Further results were concluded through statical analysis. Result: Among 100 members who were responded,70 patients were noted involvement of dominant side shoulder and 30 patients have involvement of non-dominant side shoulder in diabetic PA patients. The severity level of SPADI was mild disability (5%), moderate disability (47%), severe disability (33%), very severe disability (14%), and extreme disability (1%). Conclusion: Hence, the study concluded the higher prevalence of dominant side shoulder involvement in diabetic PA and severity level of SPADI was higher in moderate disability (47%).
