Medical - Medical (general) / treatment of calcifying tendonitis
German term or phrase: schmerzadaptiert
The calcific deposit was removed surgically using an examining hook. Then: “Postoperativ wurden die operierten Schultern schmerzadaptiert, maximal für 2 Tage in einem Gilchrist- Verband immonilisiert.

“Schmerzadaptiert” has come up on ProZ before and was explained as follows: that the patient can put as much weight on their knee as the pain allows. The increase of putting weight on the patient's knee is 'geared' for their pain.

Is Schmerzadaptiert being used in that sense here?
