Frequency of chosen clinical symptoms has been analyzed in 236 patients aged 10 to 80 years with shoulder pathology. It was found that "impingement syndrome" is characteristic for periarthritis humeroscapularis simplex. Active and passive movement restriction of the shoulder was frequently observed in periarthritis humeroscapularis simplex acuta; passive one greater than 50% was typical for capsulitis adhesiva. Crepitus at the movements, muscle wasting, impingement syndrome pain at the abduction and external rotation against resistance is indicative of periarthritis humeroscapularis destructive. Sonographic assessment of the shoulder is recommended in every case with the biceps long head rupture suspicion.
