Statistical methods / analysis
A qualitative study will be conducted, using semi-structured in-depth phenomenological interviews. The audio-recorded interviews will be transcribed with the permission of the interviewees and then the data will be de-identified.

Interviewing will be continued until no new ideas relating to the phenomenon are revealed, that is interviewees introduced no new perspectives. Saturation will be achieved when no new themes emerge and no further coding is possible. It is expected that 10-15 people will need to be interviewed to achieve the desired outcome.

Units of meaning will be delineated in order to illuminate the research phenomenon taking into account the literal content, the number of times the meaning was mentioned and how the meaning was delivered. Units of meaning will be clustered to form themes to express the essence of the clusters.

Summary
Brief summary
Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a relatively common condition which results in significant pain and loss of function. Despite its prevalence it is poorly understood. The cause of frozen shoulder is unknown, and treatment options are limited. Additionally the impact on individuals suffering from a frozen shoulder is poorly characterised. Anecdotally the impact of this condition can be severe with marked pain experience and prolonged loss of function, potentially resulting in significant psychological and socioeconomic impacts for individuals effected by the condition.

This study aims to better understand the impact of frozen shoulder on people who have recently suffered from the condition. By interviewing individuals using a phenomenological approach we aim to get a deeper understanding of the lived experience of people who have recently suffered from this poorly understood disease.
