Shoulder impingement syndrome. Medical search. Definitions

Compression of the rotator cuff tendons and subacromial bursa between the humeral head and structures that make up the coracoacromial arch and the humeral tuberosities. This condition is associated with subacromial bursitis and rotator cuff (largely supraspinatus) and bicipital tendon inflammation, with or without degenerative changes in the tendon. Pain that is most severe when the arm is abducted in an arc between 40 and 120 degrees, sometimes associated with tears in the rotator cuff, is the chief symptom. (From Jablonski's Dictionary of Syndromes and Eponymic Diseases, 2d ed)

Also called the shoulder blade, it is a flat triangular bone, a pair of which form the back part of the shoulder girdle.

The articulation between the head of the HUMERUS and the glenoid cavity of the SCAPULA.

Unilateral or bilateral pain of the shoulder. It is often caused by physical activities such as work or sports participation, but may also be pathologic in origin.

A regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed for specific therapeutic goals. Its purpose is to restore normal musculoskeletal function or to reduce pain caused by diseases or injuries.

Part of the body in humans and primates where the arms connect to the trunk. The shoulder has five joints; ACROMIOCLAVICULAR joint, CORACOCLAVICULAR joint, GLENOHUMERAL joint, scapulathoracic joint, and STERNOCLAVICULAR joint.

The lateral extension of the spine of the SCAPULA and the highest point of the SHOULDER.

A pathological mechanical process that can lead to hip failure. It is caused by abnormalities of the ACETABULUM and/or FEMUR combined with rigorous hip motion, leading to repetitive collisions that damage the soft tissue structures.

The musculotendinous sheath formed by the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles. These help stabilize the head of the HUMERUS in the glenoid fossa and allow for rotation of the SHOULDER JOINT about its longitudinal axis.

Adhesive tape with the mechanical strength to resist stretching. It is applied to the skin to support, stabilize, and restrict movement to aid healing and/or prevent injuries of MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.

A fluid-filled sac lined with SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE that provides a cushion between bones, tendons and/or muscles around a joint.

The properties, processes, and behavior of biological systems under the action of mechanical forces.

'Joint diseases' is a broad term that refers to medical conditions causing inflammation, degeneration, or functional impairment in any part of a joint, including the cartilage, bone, ligament, tendon, or bursa, thereby affecting movement and potentially causing pain, stiffness, deformity, or reduced range of motion.

A characteristic symptom complex.

Endoscopic examination, therapy and surgery of the joint.

The distance and direction to which a bone joint can be extended. Range of motion is a function of the condition of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues involved. Joint flexibility can be improved through appropriate MUSCLE STRETCHING EXERCISES.

Shoulder impingement syndrome in relation to shoulder intensive work. (1/154)

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the risk of shoulder impingement syndrome relative to shoulder intensive work. METHODS: A cross sectional study of a historical cohort of 1591 workers employed between 1986 and 1993 at a slaughterhouse or a chemical factory. Workers not doing tasks in slaughtering or meat processing constituted the reference group. Intensity of shoulder work in meat processing tasks was assessed by video based observations. Information on shoulder disorders was collected by questionnaire and by physical examinations. Impingement syndrome was diagnosed when shoulder symptoms had been present for at least 3 months during the past year and there were signs of subacromial impingement in the corresponding shoulder at physical examination. Shoulder function was assessed at the same occasion with the Constant scoring technique. Prevalence of shoulder impingement syndrome was analysed according to job title and cumulative exposure. RESULTS: Prevalence ratio for shoulder impingement syndrome was 5.27 (95% confidence interval (95% CI), 2.09 to 12.26) among currently working and 7.90 (95% CI, 2.94 to 21.18) among former slaughterhouse workers. Transformed model based prevalence ratios according to years in slaughterhouse work showed an overall association between cumulative exposure and risk for shoulder impingement syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the hypothesis that shoulder intensive work is a risk factor for impingement syndrome of the shoulder. Despite the historical cohort design healthy worker selection may have influenced the exposure-response relation found. (+info)

Sonography and magnetic resonance imaging equivalent for the assessment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. (2/154)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic value of sonography (SG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs). METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive, otherwise healthy patients with noninflammatory unilateral chronic (>3 months) shoulder complaints due to a possible full-thickness RCT were studied (9 women and 12 men, mean +/- SD age 56 +/- 12). According to standardized procedures, SG was performed by both a radiologist and a rheumatologist, and MRI was evaluated by 2 radiologists. All assessors were blinded to the patient's diagnosis. Within 3 weeks after SG and MRI, arthroscopy was performed. SG, MRI, and arthroscopy results were scored as negative or positive for the presence of a full-thickness RCT. The result of surgical inspection was used as the "gold standard." RESULTS: For full-thickness RCTs, the sensitivity was 0.81 for SG and 0.81 for MRI. The specificity was 0.94 for SG and 0.88 for MRI. The positive predictive value was 0.96 for SG and 0.91 for MRI. The negative predictive value was 0.77 for SG and 0.74 for MRI. Accuracy was 0.86 for SG and 0.83 for MRI. CONCLUSION: Full-thickness RCTs can be identified accurately by both SG and MRI. Because of its low cost and because it can be performed in the rheumatology unit, SG seems to be a promising diagnostic tool for use by the rheumatologist. (+info)

The morphometry of the coracoid process - its aetiologic role in subcoracoid impingement syndrome. (3/154)

Anatomical morphometric studies of the coracoid process and coraco-glenoid space were carried out on 204 dry scapulae. No statistically significant correlations were found between length, or thickness of the coracoid process, prominence of the coracoid tip, coracoid slope, coraco-glenoid distance, or position of the coracoid tip with respect to the uppermost point of the glenoid. These anatomical characteristics were independent of the dimensions of the scapulae. Three configurations of the coraco-glenoid space were identified. Type I configuration was found in 45% of scapulae and Type II and Type III, in 34% and 21% of specimens, respectively. The lowest value of the coraco-glenoid distance were seen in Type I scapulae. Morphometric characteristics which might predispose to subcoracoid impingement were found in 4% of Type I scapulae. A total of 27 scapulae, nine with each type of configuration were submitted to CT scanning. Scapulae with a Type I configuration were found to have low values for the coraco-glenoid angle and coracoid overlap, which are known to be associated with a short coraco-humeral distance. Subjects with a Type I configuration, and severe narrowing of the coraco-glenoid space, appear to be predisposed to coraco-humeral impingement. These morphometric characteristics may be easily evaluated on CT scans. (+info)

Five year results of rotator cuff repair. (4/154)

In thirty nine patients with either an acute rotator cuff rupture or a chronic impingement syndrome plus a cuff tear, a standard acromioplasty was performed along with a cuff repair using a bone detaching approach. Postoperative active motion was allowed in all but three. Follow up examination was performed two and five years after the operation. Continuous improvement in function, range of movement, and strength was observed, while pain increased slightly. The size of the tear and delay in treatment were determining factors in the outcome.

Diagnostic values of clinical diagnostic tests in subacromial impingement syndrome. (5/154)

OBJECTIVE: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a frequent cause of shoulder pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic values of clinical diagnostic tests, in patients with SIS. METHODS: 72 female, 48 male patients with shoulder pain were included in the study. Five had bilateral shoulder pain, so 125 painful shoulders were evaluated. Details were recorded about the patients' ages and sexes, as well as characteristics of pain and related problems. Detailed physical examination and routine laboratory tests were performed. Conventional radiography and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder region of all patients were performed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results of subacromial injection test, a reference standard test for SIS. Test positive patients constituted SIS group and test negative patients the non-SIS group. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values of some clinical diagnostic tests such as Neer, Hawkins, horizontal adduction, painful arc, drop arm, Yergason and Speed tests for SIS were determined by using 2 x 2 table. RESULTS: The most sensitive diagnostic tests were found to be Hawkins test (92.1%), Neer test (88.7%) and horizontal adduction test (82.0%). Tests with highest specificity were drop arm test (97.2%), Yergason test (86.1%) and painful arc test (80.5%) consecutively. CONCLUSION: The highly sensitive tests seem to have low specificity values and the highly specific ones to have low sensitivity values. Although this finding suggests that these diagnostic tests are insufficient for certain diagnosis, it is suggested they play an important part in clinical evaluation. (+info)

Alterations in shoulder kinematics and associated muscle activity in people with symptoms of shoulder impingement. (6/154)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Treatment of patients with impingement symptoms commonly includes exercises intended to restore "normal" movement patterns. Evidence that indicates the existence of abnormal patterns in people with shoulder pain is limited. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze glenohumeral and scapulothoracic kinematics and associated scapulothoracic muscle activity in a group of subjects with symptoms of shoulder impingement relative to a group of subjects without symptoms of shoulder impingement matched for occupational exposure to overhead work. SUBJECTS: Fifty-two subjects were recruited from a population of construction workers with routine exposure to overhead work. METHODS: Surface electromyographic data were collected from the upper and lower parts of the trapezius muscle and from the serratus anterior muscle. Electromagnetic sensors simultaneously tracked 3-dimensional motion of the trunk, scapula, and humerus during humeral elevation in the scapular plane in 3 handheld load conditions: (1) no load, (2) 2. 3-kg load, and (3) 4.6-kg load. An analysis of variance model was used to test for group and load effects for 3 phases of motion (31(-60(, 61(-90(, and 91(-120(). RESULTS: Relative to the group without impingement, the group with impingement showed decreased scapular upward rotation at the end of the first of the 3 phases of interest, increased anterior tipping at the end of the third phase of interest, and increased scapular medial rotation under the load conditions. At the same time, upper and lower trapezius muscle electromyographic activity increased in the group with impingement as compared with the group without impingement in the final 2 phases, although the upper trapezius muscle changes were apparent only during the 4.6-kg load condition. The serratus anterior muscle demonstrated decreased activity in the group with impingement across all loads and phases. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: Scapular tipping (rotation about a medial to lateral axis) and serratus anterior muscle function are important to consider in the rehabilitation of patients with symptoms of shoulder impingement related to occupational exposure to overhead work.

Local anaesthetic injection with and without corticosteroids for subacromial impingement syndrome. (7/154)

Fifty patients with impingement syndrome refractory to long-term conservative treatment were randomized to three treatment groups. All patients received an injection of 10 ml 0.5% bupivacaine, in group 1 without corticosteroid, in group 2 with crystalline corticosteroid and in group 3 with lipoid corticosteroid. Treatment in group 1 had to be stopped because of inefficacy. In groups 2 and 3 favorable results were achieved in 19 out of 40 patients. (+info)

The painful shoulder: part II. Acute and chronic disorders. (8/154)

Fractures of the humerus, scapula and clavicle usually result from a direct blow or a fall onto an outstretched hand. Most can be treated by immobilization. Dislocation of the humerus, strain or sprain of the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints, and rotator cuff injury often can be managed conservatively. Recurrence is a problem with humerus dislocation, and surgical management may be indicated if conservative treatment fails. Rotator cuff tears are often hard to diagnose because of muscle atrophy that impairs the patient's ability to perform diagnostic maneuvers. Chronic shoulder problems usually fall into one of several categories, which include impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder and biceps tendonitis. Other causes of chronic shoulder pain are labral injury, osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral or acromioclavicular joint and, rarely, osteolysis of the distal clavicle. (+info)

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is a common cause of shoulder pain, characterized by pinching or compression of the rotator cuff tendons and/or bursa between the humeral head and the acromion process of the scapula. This often results from abnormal contact between these structures due to various factors such as:

1. Bony abnormalities (e.g., bone spurs)
2. Tendon inflammation or thickening
3. Poor biomechanics during shoulder movements
4. Muscle imbalances and weakness, particularly in the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers
5. Aging and degenerative changes

The syndrome is typically classified into two types: primary (or structural) impingement, which involves bony abnormalities; and secondary impingement, which is related to functional or muscular imbalances. Symptoms often include pain, especially during overhead activities, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, patient history, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI scans. Treatment may involve activity modification, physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injections, and, in some cases, surgical intervention.

The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, is a flat, triangular bone located in the upper back region of the human body. It serves as the site of attachment for various muscles that are involved in movements of the shoulder joint and arm. The scapula has several important features:

1. Three borders (anterior, lateral, and medial)
2. Three angles (superior, inferior, and lateral)
3. Spine of the scapula - a long, horizontal ridge that divides the scapula into two parts: supraspinous fossa (above the spine) and infraspinous fossa (below the spine)
4. Glenoid cavity - a shallow, concave surface on the lateral border that articulates with the humerus to form the shoulder joint
5. Acromion process - a bony projection at the top of the scapula that forms part of the shoulder joint and serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments
6. Coracoid process - a hook-like bony projection extending from the anterior border, which provides attachment for muscles and ligaments

Understanding the anatomy and function of the scapula is essential in diagnosing and treating various shoulder and upper back conditions.

The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is the most mobile joint in the human body. It is a ball and socket synovial joint that connects the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) to the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade). The shoulder joint allows for a wide range of movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. It is surrounded by a group of muscles and tendons known as the rotator cuff that provide stability and enable smooth movement of the joint.

Shoulder pain is a condition characterized by discomfort or hurt in the shoulder joint, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or surrounding structures. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, and this mobility makes it prone to injury and pain. Shoulder pain can result from various causes, including overuse, trauma, degenerative conditions, or referred pain from other areas of the body.

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone). The rotator cuff, a group of four muscles that surround and stabilize the shoulder joint, can also be a source of pain if it becomes inflamed or torn.

Shoulder pain can range from mild to severe, and it may be accompanied by stiffness, swelling, bruising, weakness, numbness, tingling, or reduced mobility in the affected arm. The pain may worsen with movement, lifting objects, or performing certain activities, such as reaching overhead or behind the back.

Medical evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying cause of shoulder pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment options may include rest, physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery, depending on the severity and nature of the condition.

Exercise therapy is a type of medical treatment that uses physical movement and exercise to improve a patient's physical functioning, mobility, and overall health. It is often used as a component of rehabilitation programs for individuals who have experienced injuries, illnesses, or surgeries that have impaired their ability to move and function normally.

Exercise therapy may involve a range of activities, including stretching, strengthening, balance training, aerobic exercise, and functional training. The specific exercises used will depend on the individual's needs, goals, and medical condition.

The benefits of exercise therapy include:

* Improved strength and flexibility
* Increased endurance and stamina
* Enhanced balance and coordination
* Reduced pain and inflammation
* Improved cardiovascular health
* Increased range of motion and joint mobility
* Better overall physical functioning and quality of life.

Exercise therapy is typically prescribed and supervised by a healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist or exercise physiologist, who has experience working with individuals with similar medical conditions. The healthcare professional will create an individualized exercise program based on the patient's needs and goals, and will provide guidance and support to ensure that the exercises are performed safely and effectively.

In anatomical terms, the shoulder refers to the complex joint of the human body that connects the upper limb to the trunk. It is formed by the union of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade), and humerus (upper arm bone). The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket type of synovial joint, allowing for a wide range of movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.

The shoulder complex includes not only the glenohumeral joint but also other structures that contribute to its movement and stability, including:

1. The acromioclavicular (AC) joint: where the clavicle meets the acromion process of the scapula.
2. The coracoclavicular (CC) ligament: connects the coracoid process of the scapula to the clavicle, providing additional stability to the AC joint.
3. The rotator cuff: a group of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that surround and reinforce the shoulder joint, contributing to its stability and range of motion.
4. The biceps tendon: originates from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and passes through the shoulder joint, helping with flexion, supination, and stability.
5. Various ligaments and capsular structures that provide additional support and limit excessive movement in the shoulder joint.

The shoulder is a remarkable joint due to its wide range of motion, but this also makes it susceptible to injuries and disorders such as dislocations, subluxations, sprains, strains, tendinitis, bursitis, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Proper care, exercise, and maintenance are essential for maintaining shoulder health and function throughout one's life.

The acromion is a part of the shoulder blade (scapula). It is the bony process that forms the highest point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle (collarbone) to form the acromioclavicular joint. The acromion serves as an attachment site for several muscles and ligaments in the shoulder region.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a medical condition that affects the hip joint. It occurs when there is abnormal contact between the femoral head (the ball at the top of the thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis) during normal movement of the hip. This abnormal contact can cause damage to the cartilage and labrum (a ring of cartilage that helps to stabilize the hip joint) leading to pain, stiffness and decreased range of motion.

FAI is classified into two types: cam impingement and pincer impingement. Cam impingement occurs when there is an abnormal shape of the femoral head or neck, which leads to abnormal contact with the acetabulum during hip flexion and internal rotation. Pincer impingement occurs when there is overcoverage of the acetabulum, leading to abnormal contact with the femoral head or neck.

In some cases, both cam and pincer impingement can be present, which is referred to as mixed impingement. Symptoms of FAI may include hip pain, stiffness, limping, and reduced range of motion. Treatment options for FAI may include physical therapy, activity modification, medications, and in some cases, surgery.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that attach to the shoulder blade (scapula) and help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. These muscles are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. The rotator cuff helps to keep the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) centered in the glenoid fossa (shoulder socket), providing stability during shoulder movements. It also allows for rotation and elevation of the arm. Rotator cuff injuries or conditions, such as tears or tendinitis, can cause pain and limit shoulder function.

Athletic tape, also known as sports tape or physiotherapy tape, is a type of adhesive tape that is commonly used in the field of sports medicine and physical therapy to provide support and stability to joints, muscles, and tendons during athletic activities. It is typically made from a cotton or synthetic fabric material with a strong adhesive backing.

The main purpose of athletic tape is to limit excessive movement or provide compression to an injured area, which can help to reduce pain, swelling, and the risk of further injury. Athletic tape can be used to support a wide variety of body parts, including the ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, and fingers.

There are several different types of athletic tape available, including rigid and flexible options. Rigid tapes, such as zinc oxide tape, are designed to provide maximum support and stability to joints and muscles, while flexible tapes, such as cohesive bandage or kinesiology tape, allow for a greater range of motion and can be used to provide more gentle support or to help facilitate muscle activation and movement.

It is important to note that athletic tape should only be applied by trained professionals, as improper application can lead to further injury or skin irritation. Additionally, athletes should always consult with their healthcare provider before using athletic tape to treat an injury, as it may not be appropriate for all types of injuries or medical conditions.

A bursa is a small fluid-filled sac that provides a cushion between bones and other moving parts, such as muscles, tendons, or skin. A synovial bursa is a type of bursa that contains synovial fluid, which is produced by the synovial membrane that lines the inside of the bursa. Synovial bursae are found in various locations throughout the body, particularly near joints that experience a lot of movement or friction. They help to reduce wear and tear on the bones and other tissues, and can become inflamed or irritated due to overuse, injury, or infection, leading to a condition called bursitis.

Biomechanics is the application of mechanical laws to living structures and systems, particularly in the field of medicine and healthcare. A biomechanical phenomenon refers to a observable event or occurrence that involves the interaction of biological tissues or systems with mechanical forces. These phenomena can be studied at various levels, from the molecular and cellular level to the tissue, organ, and whole-body level.

Examples of biomechanical phenomena include:

1. The way that bones and muscles work together to produce movement (known as joint kinematics).
2. The mechanical behavior of biological tissues such as bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments under various loads and stresses.
3. The response of cells and tissues to mechanical stimuli, such as the way that bone tissue adapts to changes in loading conditions (known as Wolff's law).
4. The biomechanics of injury and disease processes, such as the mechanisms of joint injury or the development of osteoarthritis.
5. The use of mechanical devices and interventions to treat medical conditions, such as orthopedic implants or assistive devices for mobility impairments.

Understanding biomechanical phenomena is essential for developing effective treatments and prevention strategies for a wide range of medical conditions, from musculoskeletal injuries to neurological disorders.

Joint diseases is a broad term that refers to various conditions affecting the joints, including but not limited to:

1. Osteoarthritis (OA): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and potential loss of function.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder causing inflammation in the synovial membrane lining the joints, resulting in swelling, pain, and joint damage if left untreated.
3. Infectious Arthritis: Joint inflammation caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections that spread through the bloodstream or directly enter the joint space.
4. Gout: A type of arthritis resulting from the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, typically affecting the big toe and characterized by sudden attacks of severe pain, redness, and swelling.
5. Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): An inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis, causing symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints and surrounding tissues.
6. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): A group of chronic arthritis conditions affecting children, characterized by joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
7. Ankylosing Spondylitis: A form of arthritis primarily affecting the spine, causing inflammation, pain, and potential fusion of spinal vertebrae.
8. Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints, leading to pain and swelling.
9. Tendinitis: Inflammation or degeneration of tendons, which connect muscles to bones, often resulting in pain and stiffness near joints.

These conditions can impact the function and mobility of affected joints, causing discomfort and limiting daily activities. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing joint diseases and preserving joint health.

A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.

For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where an orthopedic surgeon uses an arthroscope (a thin tube with a light and camera on the end) to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. The surgeon makes a small incision, inserts the arthroscope into the joint, and then uses the attached camera to view the inside of the joint on a monitor. They can then insert other small instruments through additional incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue.

Arthroscopy is most commonly used for joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist. It offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain and bleeding, faster recovery time, and reduced risk of infection. The procedure can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including torn ligaments or cartilage, inflamed synovial tissue, loose bone or cartilage fragments, and joint damage caused by arthritis.

Articular Range of Motion (AROM) is a term used in physiotherapy and orthopedics to describe the amount of movement available in a joint, measured in degrees of a circle. It refers to the range through which synovial joints can actively move without causing pain or injury. AROM is assessed by measuring the degree of motion achieved by active muscle contraction, as opposed to passive range of motion (PROM), where the movement is generated by an external force.

Assessment of AROM is important in evaluating a patient's functional ability and progress, planning treatment interventions, and determining return to normal activities or sports participation. It is also used to identify any restrictions in joint mobility that may be due to injury, disease, or surgery, and to monitor the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs.

The most common symptoms in impingement syndrome are pain, weakness and a loss of movement at the affected shoulder. (wikipedia.org)
Other symptoms can include a grinding or popping sensation during movement of the shoulder. (wikipedia.org)
Symptoms of biceps tendinopathy/tendonitis include pain and inflammation at the front of the shoulder. (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
Common symptoms with these types of injuries often include fear, pain, and a sense of instability that can lead to guarding behaviours which manifest as impingement syndrome of the shoulder.The clinical term for this is "scapular dyskinesia," which means abnormal movement or positioning of the shoulder blade during movement. (southislandphysio.ca)
Typical symptoms of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome include pain that affects daily activities and decreased motion when reaching up overhead/behind the back or putting on/taking off clothing. (newslinehub.com)
Most physicians prescribe anti-inflammatories that only address the pain symptoms, disregarding the underlying problem of shoulder impingement. (newslinehub.com)

Rarely calcium deposits in the space between the arm bone and the shoulder blade (Calcific tendinitis) can predispose to bursitis and impingement. (pradeepbala.com)
This problem is typically associated with rotator cuff pathology and/or bursitis of the shoulder. (eufol.com)
It's a clinical ailment where soft tissues become entrapped in and around the shoulder joint, often called bursitis or rotator cuff tendonitis. (newslinehub.com)

Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. (wikipedia.org)
Passive movement at the shoulder will appear painful when a downward force is applied at the acromion but the pain will ease once the force is removed. (wikipedia.org)
This in turn pushes the acromion and the humeral head out of its usual anatomical position placing pressure downwards at the head of the humerus at the position of the nerve thus causing the impingement syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
One action the scapula performs during a throwing or serving motion is elevation of the acromion process in order to avoid impingement of the rotator cuff tendons. (wikipedia.org)
If the scapula fails to properly elevate the acromion, impingement may occur during the cocking and acceleration phase of an overhead activity. (wikipedia.org)
These two muscles act as a force couple within the glenohumeral joint to properly elevate the acromion process, and if a muscle imbalance exists, shoulder impingement may develop. (wikipedia.org)
In 1972, Neer first introduced the concept of rotator cuff impingement to the literature, stating that it results from mechanical impingement of the rotator cuff tendon beneath the anteroinferior portion of the acromion, especially when the shoulder is placed in the forward-flexed and internally rotated position. (medscape.com)
In all Neer stages, etiology is impingement of the rotator cuff tendons under the acromion and a rigid coracoacromial arch, eventually leading to degeneration and tearing of the rotator cuff tendon. (medscape.com)
Acromial morphology (A hooked acromion, presence of an os acromiale or osteophyte, and/or calcific deposits in the subacromial space make patients more predisposed for primary impingement. (medscape.com)
This narrowness is caused when the arm is being raised to shoulder height and the gap between the anterior edge of the acromion and the head of the humerus narrows. (klinik-am-ring.de)
The space at the shoulder joint, into which the supraspinatus tendon slides when lifting the arm, is very limited by the acromion (acromion and coracoacromial ligament - the outward end of the shoulder blade). (klinik-am-ring.de)
Because of the innate unfavorable shape of the acromion (hooked acromion type II and III according to Bigliani classification), the incidence of subacromial impingement syndrome increases significantly. (klinik-am-ring.de)
Notice how the view is perpendicular to the supraspinatus tendon showing the "roof" of the shoulder joint in the acromion and clavicle. (uschirodirectory.com)
The rotator cuff passes through a space, which lies between the head of the upper arm bone, and the acromion (the outermost point of the shoulder blade). (healthhearty.com)
It happens when these tissues rub and press against a part of your shoulder blade called the "acromion. (heartlandorthopedics.com)
Causes of shoulder impingement can range from the shape of your acromion to the posture you have in your upper back. (outoftheboxphysio.com.au)
This occurs when the tendons rub against the outer end of the shoulder blade (the acromion) while passing through the subacromial space during shoulder movement. (aliashrafmd.com)
An impingement syndrome of the shoulder will be diagnosed, if the distance between the humerus and the bony acromion has reduced to approx. (schulterhilfe.de)
In case of the impingement syndrome they are too weak for being able to keep the head of the humerus away from the acromion. (schulterhilfe.de)
If Infra Spinatus and Teres minor are too weak, the very strong deltoid muscle - starting at the humerus head and lying on the shoulder - will manage to press the humerus head against the acromion as soon as the arm is lifted. (schulterhilfe.de)
This activity results in irritation of the rotator cuff tendon as it repeatedly rubs against the acromion, which is the bony process of the shoulder blade. (lindsaysportsmed.com)
If not, the shoulder cannot centre in the joint properly which can cause mechanical compression in the subacromial region (the area underneath the acromion), and shoulder impingement occurs. (southislandphysio.ca)

Anything that causes further narrowing has the tendency to impinge the tendon and cause an inflammatory response, resulting in impingement syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
Due to the complex soft tissue conditions of the shoulder joint, particularly the tendon at the humeral head of the so-called rotator cuff (composed of the muscle group supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) these are very prone to damage in the sense of chronic irritation or degeneration. (klinik-am-ring.de)
We are not sure if these changes are affecting the shoulder, and specifically the supraspinatus tendon from this image alone. (uschirodirectory.com)
There is a large, subacromial ostephyte that extends inferiorly into the supraspinatus tendon causing extrinsic impingement. (uschirodirectory.com)
This leads to tendon damage, and shoulder pain, especially while raising or lowering the arm. (healthhearty.com)
The impingement / impingement syndrome usually also causes the calcific tendinitis of the shoulder and damages the supraspinatus tendon as well as the biceps. (schulterhilfe.de)
Specific tests a professional therapist might use to help diagnose an injury to the biceps tendon include the 'uppercut' test and resisted shoulder flexion. (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
Again, if the pain is reproduced at the front of the shoulder then a biceps tendon injury is indicated. (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
The muscle splits into two tendons at the shoulder, one shorter tendon, and a longer tendon which runs over the top of the humerus bone (upper arm) and attaches to the top of the shoulder blade (scapula bone). (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
Shoulder tendonitis is an overuse injury that causes inflammation of one of the tendons in the shoulder joint, usually a rotator cuff tendon. (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
Unfortunately, this movement pattern can cause irritation to a rotator cuff tendon and create pain in the shoulder. (southislandphysio.ca)
Pain in the right shoulder and arm is often due to muscle, tendon, or ligament damage, or due to damage to the peripheral nerves in those areas. (medicalnewstoday.com)
A tendon in the shoulder rubs and catches on surrounding tissue when a person lifts their arm. (medicalnewstoday.com)
If the tendon tears, normal outward turning of the arm at the shoulder is weak or impossible. (msdmanuals.com)

Inflammation and subsequent thickening of the subacromial bursa may also cause impingement. (wikipedia.org)
This can lead to a viscious cycle, as the inflammation and irritation decreases the effectiveness of the muscles, allowing for more movement and impingement, making your shoulder pain worse. (sports-injury-info.com)
Shoulder impingement is the condition of inflammation of the tendons of the shoulder joint. (pradeepbala.com)
Biceps tendonitis is inflammation of the long head of the biceps muscle, causing pain at the front of the shoulder. (sportsinjuryclinic.net)
Overuse can cause damage and inflammation to the muscles in the arm and shoulder. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Commonly known as "swimmer's shoulder" or "thrower's shoulder," Shoulder Impingement Syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become pinched beneath the top of the shoulder blade, resulting in inflammation and pain. (stretch.com)
The cartilage in the socket being lost through normal wear and tear, surgery, inflammation, infection, or injury are primary causes of arthritis of the shoulder. (ibji.com)
The aim is to decrease shoulder pain and to regain shoulder function, with the goal to reduce the degree of impingement, decreasing swelling and inflammation, and to minimize the risk of further injuries. (intechopen.com)
Repeatedly moving the arm over the head causes the top of the arm bone to pinch the rotator cuff muscles against the top part of the shoulder blade and can result in inflammation and swelling of the muscles. (msdmanuals.com)

Thickening or calcification of the coracoacromial ligament can also cause impingement. (wikipedia.org)
In some circumstances, a partial tear of the rotator cuff may cause impingement pain. (pradeepbala.com)
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct underlying pathology or anatomical issues that cause impingement. (stretch.com)

Of course, from a differential diagnosis point of view it is important to consider that in addition to the impingement syndrome numerous other causes such as internal diseases (CHD, liver, bronchial CA etc.) or neurogenic disorders (cervical disc prolapse, neoplasms, etc.) may be responsible for shoulder pain. (klinik-am-ring.de)
This type of pain is often referred to as "shoulder impingement" but the problem with using the term impingement is that it is more of a descriptive term rather than a diagnosis and without proper management your shoulder pain can progress from pain that comes and goes to something a lot more serious. (outoftheboxphysio.com.au)
Shoulder pain that is constantly affecting your normal activities and not going away even after a few weeks is an indication that the condition needs a thorough diagnosis. (aliashrafmd.com)
The diagnosis begins with a physical examination of the affected shoulder, which involves moving the shoulder in certain ways. (aliashrafmd.com)
Diagnosis involves physical examination by Dr Bala where he checks for the possible range of movements with the affected shoulder, strength of the tendons that rotate the shoulder and signs for this jamming. (pradeepbala.com)

As this happens, more movement of the humeral head within the shoulder joint occurs. (sports-injury-info.com)
If pain occurs, that may be an indication of impingement. (modesto-chiro.com)
Secondary impingement generally occurs in the coracoacromial space due to anterior translation of the humeral head as opposed to the Subacromial space that is seen in primary impingement. (hawkesphysiotherapy.co.uk)
They are described according to the location that impingement occurs. (chula.ac.th)

This affords maximum stability for the shoulder girdle, thus allowing us to perform tasks with the hand, wrist and elbow joints, whilst the shoulder joint is at various angles. (positivehealth.com)

The scapula plays an important role in shoulder impingement syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
In addition to stability of the humerus and the glenoid, stability of the shoulder blade (scapula) is also very important. (sports-injury-info.com)
Since there is no bony connection between the shoulder blade and the trunk, the scapula relies solely on muscles to keep it stable and rotating correctly. (sports-injury-info.com)
These muscles originate from the scapula (shoulder blade) and hold your upper arm bone (humerus) in place in your shoulder. (aliashrafmd.com)
A 'ball' at the top of the upper arm bone, humerus, fits neatly into a 'socket', called the glenoid, which is part of the shoulder blade, scapula. (pradeepbala.com)
Impingement results from pressure on the rotator cuff (tendons attached around the ball of the shoulder that rotate the shoulder) from part of the shoulder blade (scapula) as the arm is lifted (Subacromial impingement). (pradeepbala.com)
This inability to fully move the shoulder is often found with conditions like Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) or Osteoarthritis.Both types of shoulder conditions create changes in the joint and tissues that can limit the range of the shoulder joint and consequently cause the scapula (shoulder blade) to rotate early. (southislandphysio.ca)

Injuries to the shoulder of the overhead athlete can be generally classified into three groups: internal impingement, internal impingement with acquired secondary anterior instability, and primary anterior or multidirectional instability. (medscape.com)

Another reason for a shoulder impingement can be calcium deposits in the rotator cuff be (calcific tendinitis). (klinik-am-ring.de)
The muscles that help hold the upper arm in the shoulder joint (the rotator cuff muscles) can get pinched (shoulder impingement syndrome), become inflamed (tendinitis), or can tear partially or completely. (msdmanuals.com)
Rotator cuff pinching (impingement) and tendinitis often occur in sports that require the arms to be moved over the head repeatedly, such as pitching in baseball, lifting heavy weights over the shoulder, serving the ball in racket sports, and swimming freestyle, butterfly, or backstroke. (msdmanuals.com)
Unless effectively treated, the shoulder may later become painful at rest (tendinitis), often particularly at night, disrupting sleep. (msdmanuals.com)

Weight training exercises where the arms are elevated above shoulder height but in an internally rotated position such as the upright row have been suggested as a cause of subacromial impingement. (wikipedia.org)
The orthopedist opinion of the shoulder was that we would initiate a month of conservative therapeutic exercises focusing on strengthening of the rotator cuff, though he was not optimistic that this condition would respond to physical therapy exercises and would likely need surgical intervention. (uschirodirectory.com)
Chiropractors can also recommend home care activities and exercises to strengthen the shoulder girdle muscles and prevent further pain as the result of upward movements of the arm. (modesto-chiro.com)
