    I'm not surprised you are struggling with it. I have looked into this and I admit never have seen one but can understand the technology behind it. For a knee  joint  good, it would seem to glide the knee in an anatomcal  manner. Pretty good on a hip. Reasonable on an elbow. Who would ever dream of using it on a shoulder,I do not know. Get out or find your anatomy book and  look how  different a shoulder is

    ?from other large joints. It is concave convex and rolls and glides. When you treat it like a hinge how could it not be painfull and cause pain and grief. Find a physiotherapist who has a post graduate degree or diploma in the treatment of shoulder conditions. If you follow this forum you will see that orthopaedic surgeons say no treatment should be given. The paradox is that now every shoulder is called frozen so it becomes more and more difficult to know who to treat and what the treatment should be.
