Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition where there is inflammation and fibrosis of the shoulder joint capsule leading to pain and loss of motion. Impingement syndrome and calcific tendonitis are also associated with shoulder pain but they do not typically result in loss of motion. Subluxation of the long head of the biceps tendon may cause pain but not loss of motion.
