In this issue of JOSPT, the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association introduces the first of its shoulder clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), titled “Shoulder Pain and Mobility Deficits: Adhesive Capsulitis.” This CPG, as well as the collection of Orthopaedic Section CPGs previously published in JOSPT, use long diagnostic labels to identify the underlying clinical conditions. Author Paula M. Ludewig discusses the merits of using these movement system diagnostic labels rather than shorter pathoanatomic labels, which create a disconnect between diagnostic and treatment processes.
