INTRODUCTION

This study describes the prevalence of pain, functional loss and rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in a general population cohort. It is the first multidisciplinary assessment in such a cohort.

METHODS

The Chingford cohort is a 19-year old longitudinal population study comprising 1003 women aged between 44 and 67 at baseline. To date 183 consecutive subjects (366) shoulders have been interviewed about their shoulders. Myometric strength assessment and high-definition ultrasound examination (US) have been performed on all shoulders. Additionally pain thresholds and perceptions of pain have been tested using quantitative sensory testing (QST) and a number of validated questionnaires, including the illness attitudes scale and the pain detect score.
