Methods: Keywords guiding the review included \u2018scapulohumeral periarthritis\u2019, \u2018clinical forms\u2019, \u2018incidence\u2019, \u2018impingement syndrome, \u2018calcifying tendinitis\u2019, \u2018bicipital tendonitis\u2019, \u2018shoulder bursitis\u2019, \u2018adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder\u2019, \u2018rotator cuff tears\u2019, \u2018functional assessment\u2019, and \u2018clinical trials\u2019. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized controlled trials, cross-sectional studies, and review articles published between 1972 and 2024. Results: Our screening identified 2481 initial articles, of which 621 were further reviewed for eligibility resulting in 107 articles that met the relevance criteria. The findings highlight six distinct clinical forms of SP, such as partial rotator cuff tears and calcific tendinitis, each characterized by specific pathological features and prevalence patterns. Key factors contributing to SP include injuries, scapular instability, acromion deformities, and degenerative rotator cuff changes. Functional assessments, including the Neer, Hawkins, Pain Arc, and Yocum tests, demonstrated diagnostic value in distinguishing SP from other shoulder conditions. Conclusions: By comprehensively analyzing the clinical forms, functional assessment methods, and prevalent lesions of SP, functional testing can improve early diagnosis and guide personalized physiotherapy protocols for optimal rehabilitation in the physiotherapist\u2019s practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life15020186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]],"date-time":"2025-01-27T04:59:10Z","timestamp":1737953950000},"page":"186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Understanding Scapulohumeral Periarthritis: A Comprehensive Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6422-2030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel-Andrei","family":"Iordan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Individual Sports and Kinetotherapy, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, \u201cDunarea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"Center of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6477-5938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stoica","family":"Leonard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Individual Sports and Kinetotherapy, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, \u201cDunarea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"Center of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela Viorelia","family":"Matei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Bioengineering, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cGrigore T.
