Quiz #7 Flashcards
what is subacromial impingment syndrome?
anatomic variations that lead to decreased subacromial space
what is the etiology of subacromial impingement syndrome?
space issue
anatomic variations
shoulder girdle kinematics
rotator cuff pathology
degenerative changes
overuse
what are the intrinsic factors of impingement?
vascular changes in RC tendons
tissue tension overload
collagen disorientation
collagen degeneration
what are the primary extrinsic factors of impingement?
structural posterior capsule tightness, anterior capsule tightness
RC pathology
increased superior migration of the humeral head
what are the secondary extrinsic factors of impingement?
instability, impaired coordination, weakness of the scapular stabilizers
what are the tertiary extrinsic factors of impingement?
contact of the greater tuberosity with the posterosuperior aspect of the glenoid when the arm is abducted and externally rotated
why would rotator cuff pathology cause impingement?
the RC isn’t depressing the humeral head to clear the acromion
what does the coracoacromial lig do?
spans the coronoid to acromion creating the coracoacromial arch where impingement can occur
what tendons run through the coracoacromial arch and can cause trouble in impingement?
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and long biceps tendon as well as the subacromial bursa

t/f: the treatment of bursitis and tendinitis are usually the same/similar
true
do we expect pain with muscles and tendon injuries?
yes
a tendon problem with no pain
tear
a tendon problem with pain
