Sequential Changes in Range of Motion and Capsular Fibrosis Following Remobilization in a Rat Adhesive Capsulitis Model Using Cast Immobilization

Our study showed that ROM increased sequentially after remobilization in a rat AC model using cast immobilization, and it was normalized at 6 weeks after cast removal. Capsular thickening decreased sequentially, but remained at 6 weeks after cast removal. These findings may provide useful information for further research into verifying potential therapeutic targets using a rat AC model with cast immobilization.
