SHOULDER PAIN, ULTRASOUND CHANGES, AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE IN OBESE PATIENTS by Fabiana Alves Costa Menegassi, Glaucus Cajaty Martins, Zartur José Barcelos Menegassi, Sérgio Augusto Lopes de Souza, Bianca Gutfilen, Fábio Ramos Costa

“…Results: The obese group showed a greater incidence of shoulder pain (p < 0.0001; OR: 17.5), lower functional performance according to UCLA (p < 0.0001; OR: 7.5) and DASH scales (p < 0.0001) and a greater incidence of pathological ultrasound and c-reactive protein test changes (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that being overweight is an important exacerbating factor for shoulder pain, lower shoulder functional performance and pathological changes of the rotator cuff and c-reactive protein test. …”
