decreased muscle tone.
Hypotonia
Inflamed and swollen tendons are caught in the narrow space between the bones within the shoulder joint.
Impingement syndrome
the study of movement
Kinesiology
characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement, without affecting the nervous system.
