Diagnostic criteria were that (1) the shoulder pain should be of more than 3 weeks' duration; (2) there should be limitation of shoulder joint movement both actively and passively; and (3) there should be no other known cause of arthritis, neurological disorder, or bone disease, by clinical, haematological, and radiological examinations.…”

Wright, V., and Haq, A. M. M. M. (1976). Annals ofthe Rheumatic Diseases, 35,213-219. Periarthritis of the shoulder. Aetiological considerations with particular reference to personality factors. 186 patients with periarthritis of the shoulder have been studied. The sex ratio was female: male, 1-52: 1. The peak age of onset was 54-59 years in both sexes. Over 40% of the patients were referred to the clinic after 6 months had elapsed from the time of onset of the disease. The right shoulder was more frequently involved than the left, particularly in the men. One shoulder only was affected in 75 % of patients. There was frequently a previous history of 'rheumatism' before the episode of periarthritis. In one-third of the women 'nonspecific rheumatism' had occurred. Cervicobrachial pain and a previous episode of shoulder pain had occurred more often in the women.

“…Deleterious effects of this type can be demonstrated for collagen, using skin as a model. Ridge and Wright (1966) demonstrated that load/ extension curves for skin could be defined by the use of an arbitrarily derived formula: E =c + kLb, where c, k and b are constants. Of these only the latter is fully independent of the size and shape of the skin sample being stretched and hence any alteration in its value would appear to represent changes in the nature of the collagen fibres under tension.…”
