Abstract: Shoulder complaints are expressed in a variety of symptoms. In many \ncases, the prominent symptom is pain. In some cases, pain is present \nmost of the day and frequently also at night. In other cases, it is \nprovoked primarily by physical activities. Often it is accompanied by \nrestricted range in shoulder movement. This inhibit people in their daily \nlives by reducing their ability to use their arm in activities such as \ndressing, personal hygiene, work, household activities, hobbies and \nsports. These shoulder symptoms may also lead to sick leave, bringing \ncosts to the workers themselves, as well as to employers and society. \nAlthough these are a common musculoskeletal complaint, the estimated \nprevalence of shoulder complaints varies considerably.
