Factors Influencing Duration

Duration depends on job requirements and whether the dominant or nondominant arm is involved. Duration and disability also depend heavily on whether the contralateral shoulder has similar problems. Disability may be longer for individuals who perform repetitive actions and/or overhead work as part of their work duties. The individual's age, occupation, response to treatment, and compliance with treatment recommendations and rehabilitation programs will influence the duration of disability. Osteoarthritis in the glenohumeral joint is uncommon but, if present, will significantly delay return to heavy work or shoulder-intensive work.

Differences may exist between the duration tables and the reference graphs. Duration tables provide expected recovery periods based on the type of work performed by the individual. The reference graphs reflect the actual experience of many individuals across the spectrum of physical conditions, in a variety of industries, and with varying levels of case management. Selected graphs combine multiple codes based on similar means and medians.
