Purpose: To determine the correlation of MRI findings with the Constant\u2013Murley Score (CMS), pain duration and symptoms at the one-year follow-up in AC patients. Materials and methods: This monocentric prospective study included 132 patients with a clinical diagnosis of shoulder AC who underwent shoulder MRI. Mean patient age was 54.1 \u00b1 9.3 years, and there were 55 men and 77 women. A radiologist examined all patients and completed the CMS just prior to MRI. Pain duration was assessed along with the signal intensity and measured the maximal thickness of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) by two radiologists. Medical record analysis was performed in a sub-group of 49 patients to assess prognosis approximately one year after the MRI examination. Linear regression analysis with the Pearson test and the Fisher exact test were used to determine the association between MRI findings and clinical impairment. Results: There was a significant difference in mean pain duration score (3.8 \u00b1 1.2 versus 3.2 \u00b1 0.9 and 3.8 \u00b1 1.2 versus 3.2 \u00b1 0.9, respectively, for readers 1 and 2) and in mean mobility scores (15.7 \u00b1 8 points versus 19.6 \u00b1 10.1 points and 15.8 \u00b1 8.2 points versus 19.4 \u00b1 10 points, respectively, for readers 1 and 2) in patients with a high IGHL signal compared to those with a low IGHL signal (p &lt; 0.05). IGHL was thicker in patients with clinical improvement at one-year follow-up compared to those presenting clinical stability or worsening (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: In patients with shoulder AC, the degree of signal intensity at the IGHL was inversely related to shoulder pain duration and range of motion, and a thickened IGHL indicated a favorable outcome at one-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10173882","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,30]],"date-time":"2021-08-30T11:01:37Z","timestamp":1630321297000},"page":"3882","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["MR Imaging Biomarkers for Clinical Impairment and Disease Progression in Patients with Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis: A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Romain","family":"Gillet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Padoin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aymeric","family":"Rauch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Hossu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIC-IT, CHRU Nancy, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro Augusto Gondim","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Blum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"A1","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.2013.0302","article-title":"Shoulder Pain and Mobility Deficits: Adhesive Capsulitis: Clinical Practice Guidelines Linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health From the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association","volume":"43","author":"Kelley","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
