About

The goal of this multi-center, cross-sectional, observational study is to test and compare the difference of the supraspinatus tendon's elasticity between diabetics and healthy people. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Ultrasonic characteristics of supraspinatus tendon in diabetic patients
• Influencing factors of elastic value and thickness of supraspinatus tendon

Participants will be asked to:

• Perform ultrasound examination of the shoulder join.
• Fill in a survey with certain questions on their basic information.

Enrollment: 361 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

① Age range (above 18 years old); ② Non-professional athletes; ③ No medical history of shoulder and neck pain; ④ Ultrasound examination (-).

Exclusion criteria

① pregnant women or postpartum 1 year; ② Shoulder pain with active or passive cervical motion; ③ History of upper extremity trauma; (4) Shoulder surgery or treatment history, intra-articular injection history, use history of glucocorticoids, estrogens, quinolones and cholesterol drugs; (5) Shoulder joint fear test (shoulder joint abduction 90°, slowly increasing external rotation, the subject had a positive expression of fear); (6) Evidence of adhesive shoulder joint bursitis, such as the passive range of motion of the 2 motion planes of the shoulder joint is obviously limited; ⑦ Systemic autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, psoriasis; ⑧ unable to complete the relevant movements and positions; ⑨ Those who are reluctant to continue the experiment and ask to quit.
