Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is often associated with arthralgia, myalgia, can lead to myopathy. Physical therapy can assist with the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal materializations that are seen in many patients with the condition.<ref name="Medscape">http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/120937-overview  accessed 3/21/17</ref>&nbsp;Physical therapy emphasis is on restoring the secondary effects of the disease such as restoration of joint range of motion, alleviation of pain in joints and muscles, and restoring strength due to muscle weakness. This case study depicts what may be seen in a patient coming to Physical therapy with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as well as clinical impression, interventions, and outcomes. <br>

== Introduction  ==


Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was first discovered in 1912 by Japanese physician Hakaru Hashimoto (1881−1934). Hashimoto's thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is an organ specific autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is attacked by cell and antibody mediated responses.1 Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States.2 Incidence is estimated to be 3.5 per 1000 per year in women and 0.8 per 1000 per year in men, or 1-2% of the population.2 The disease slowly can progress over time into thyroid deficiency. Musculoskeletal and neuromuscular manifestations can occur at any time during the disease process.1 According to a study by Cakir M, Samanci N, Balci N, Balci MK adhesive capsulitis, Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger, limited joint mobility and carpal tunnel syndrome have all been found in patients with hypothyroidism.3 <br>

This is the part of the paper in which we introduce the raw data. First, we describe the complaint that brought the patient to us. It is often useful to use the patient’s own words.&nbsp;Next, we introduce the important information that we obtained from our history-taking.


*Subjective&nbsp;: Patient History and Systems Review (chief complaints, other relevant medical history, prior or current services related to the current episode, use relative dates i.e. years or months or days relative to onset of injury or start of treatment, patient/family goals)

*Demographic Information: (occupation/vocation, gender, age, etc.)
*Medical diagnosis if applicable
*Co-morbidities
*Previous care or treatment
*Self Report Outcome Measures
*Physical Performance Measures

If someone provided assistance with the preparation of the case study, we thank them briefly. It is neither necessary nor conventional to thank the patient (although we appreciate what they have taught us). It would generally be regarded as excessive and inappropriate to thank others, such as teachers or colleagues who did not directly participate in preparation of the paper.
