Shoulder arthralgia: case study of the Occupational Medicine clinic of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp).

Diagnosing rotator cuff syndrome requires clinical and occupational history assessment, as well as imaging examinations, and the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound were similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Removal from work and its risks must be an integral part of treatment. Upon returning to work, the rehabilitation and reintegration process should involve activities that will not worsen the injury.
