Neuro-orthopedic and electrophysiological studies in 122 patients with post-insult hemiplegia underlie the authors' conclusion of shoulder pains peripheral origin. According to the authors' data these patients have humeroscapular periarthrosis formed as a result of cerebral and peripheral damages, including neck osteochondrosis. Fixing shoulder adductors are shown to become originally "numb" because of constant tonic impulsation damages. The mechanisms of this state are supposed to be connected with trophic changes and demand further study.
