Onemocnění charakterizované bolestivostí a slabostí svalů (zejm. v oblasti ramene) a znemožňující nemocnému i běžnou činnost. Vyskytuje se obv. ve vyšším věku a někdy je spojena s temporální arteriitidou. Obtíže rychle ustoupí i po malé dávce kortikoidů. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2016 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz)

A syndrome in the elderly characterized by proximal joint and muscle pain, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a self-limiting course. Pain is usually accompanied by evidence of an inflammatory reaction. Women are affected twice as commonly as men and Caucasians more frequently than other groups. The condition is frequently associated with GIANT CELL ARTERITIS and some theories pose the possibility that the two diseases arise from a single etiology or even that they are the same entity.
