Abstract

<p>We present the case of a patient with a frozen shoulder, which made it difficult for him to wash the back of his right hip using his right upper limb. His range of motion was restricted, with muscle weakness exacerbating his difficulties with performing a body wash. Therefore we evaluated the potential efficacy of physical therapy for the right upper limb and concluded that the compensation that occurred in the lower back of his right upper limb resulted in a lack of abduction and extension of the right shoulder joint occurring in the early stages of the required movements. Exercise therapy was accordingly administered in which the compensation was suppressed, and good results were obtained.</p>
