Abstract
The term “frozen shoulder” may not be familiar to physicians in Japan. The term “fifties shoulder” has long been used in Japan to refer to a painful shoulder with an insidious onset often seen in the 50s. This term was already used in the Edo period (1603–1868) at the latest because it was in a dictionary of common names “Rigenshuran” in the Edo period (Fig. 7.1). It says “Those around the age of 50 sometimes have arm or shoulder pain. It soon disappears without medication. People call it fifties arm, fifties shoulder, or longevity disease.”
