Abstract
Adhesive capsulitis is a musculoskeletal condition of the shoulder characterized by pain and gradual loss of the global shoulder motion. Proper diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is extremely important for designing a coordinated exercise program and reliable monitoring progress during treatment. In this investigation we present a successful example of Generalized Nets (GN) application in orthopedics and propose a novel approach to timely detection of adhesive capsulitis. The developed GN-model provides a framework that can be used by primary care practitioners to guide diagnostic processes for patients suspected to have adhesive capsulitis and might assist in optimizing patient outcomes and more effective treatment. The method proposed in this investigation accurately identifies the various steps during the diagnosing processes and significantly improve the health care level. Obtained so far results could be used to assist in the decision making in the diagnostic processes.
