Biomechanics • The shoulder complex is designed for mobility • The Rotator Cuff (RTC) muscles snub the humeral head into the shallow glenoid fossa during arm elevation • Glenohumeral ligaments and capsule provide stability and limit excessive motion • Congenital or degenerative changes can cause the acromion process to become curved or hooked

Biomechanics • Scapulohumeral rhythm results from movement at four joints • Glenohumeral • Scapulothoracic • Acromioclavicular • Sternoclavicular • Correct scapulohumeral rhythm is a 2:1 ratio of glenohumeral to scapulthoracic motion during arm abduction • Preserves the length tension relationship of the muscles of the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) • Prevents impingement between the humerus and acromion

Take Home Message • Shoulder pain is very common • Don’t limit your hypothesis to impingement only, rule out other pathologies • Using this algorithm can help you quickly and accurately rule in and out the diagnosis • Selecting the correct impingement type will help guide your treatment plan
