Abstract

There is no unified consensus on the pathophysiology of adhesive capsulitis which is also called as frozen shoulder. Some studies have suggested that coracohumeral ligament (CHL) played an important role in adhesive capsulitis. These studies showed relation between disease prevalence and CHL thickness by means of ultrasound or MRI. Other possible etiology of the disease is the adhesion of shoulder ligament with each other. In the present study, shoulder ligaments motion is visualized with velocity vector by speckle tracking and temporal outlier removal algorithm to process ultrasound movie during forced movement of shoulder joint. The measurement with a typical subject has demonstrated an improvement of velocity vector deviation of up to 43% by the proposed outlier removal technique.
