title: [Functional rehabilitation of degenerative tendinous injuries of the shoulder].
abstract: We studied 60 shoulders in a group of 58 patients, with injuries of shoulder tendons. Thirty-one patients presented impingement syndrome, eighteen patients calcareous tendinitis, five patients rotator cuff rupture, three patients bicipital tendinitis and three patients multiple lesions. All of them were submitted to physical therapy: ultra-sound and kinesio-therapy. Good results were obtained in 55% of the patients. Bad results were recorded in women, young people and in patients with calcareous tendinitis.
