Impingement Syndrome
A mechanical impingement of the subacromial structures, especially the rotator cuff tendons
Symptoms - Impingement Syndrome
pain in the anterosuperior part of the shoulder; weakness and stiffness
Outlet - Impingement Syndrome
occurs when the coracoacromial arch encroaches on the supraspinatus outlet
Non-outlet - Impingement Syndrome
occurs secondary to thickening or hypertrophy of the bursa or the rotator cuff tendons
Intrinsic Impingement Syndrome
- Rotator cuff weakness
- Overuse of the shoulder
- Degenerative tendinopathy
