What is the shoulder joint?
• Shoulder joint or shoulder “region?”
• There is an interrelatedness of all moving parts of the shoulder and dysfunction in one joint may cause dysfunction and pain in the others!

9 Bursae of Shoulder Region
• Only 2 are clinically important: 1. Subacromial (subdeltoid) bursa
susceptible to impingement, esp. if swollen or inflamed. Frequently
ruptures due to a calcium deposit.
2. Subscapular bursa between anterior scapula and rib
cage
• Note: Bursitis is rarely a primary condition !!!!
![Page 11: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Muscle Review
1. Supraspinatus2. Infraspinatus3. Teres Minor4. Subscapularis5. Levator Scapulae 6. Upper Trapezius 7. Serratus Anterior8. Biceps brachii
assists abduction when arm is externally rotated.
9. Deltoid: impingement!
![Page 12: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rotator Cuff
![Page 13: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rotator Cuff
• Muscles do not attach as discreet tendons but blend to form a continuous cuff surrounding the glenoid head.
• Provides dynamic stabilization of the joint due to blending into the capsule.
• Tendons of rotator cuff blend with joint capsule
![Page 14: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rotator Cuff
• Supraspinatus…………Abduction
• Infraspinatus…………..External rotation
• Teres Minor……………External rotation
• Subscapularis…………Internal rotation
![Page 15: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rotator Cuff: Supraspinatus
• Abduction
• Passes under
acromion process
• Most commonly injured or torn
• “Suitcase muscle”
![Page 16: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hypovascularity of the Supraspinatus
• Supraspinatus is considerably hypovascular with respect to the other cuff tendons: “critical zone”
• Tendonitis in this region correlates to hypovascualrity (that progress with age)
![Page 17: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rotator Cuff - Infraspinatus
• External rotation
• Pulls humerus downward with abduction
• Eccentric contraction
![Page 18: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rotator Cuff – Teres Minor
• External rotation
• Pulls humerus downward with abduction
![Page 19: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rotator Cuff - Subscapularis
• Internal Rotation
• Adduction
• Stabilizes humerus
• Pulls humerus downward w/ abduction
• Eccentric contraction
![Page 20: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Glenohumeral Joint
• Designed for flexibility at the expense of stability
• Static stabilizers – capsule and ligaments
• Dynamic stabilizers – rotator cuff muscles
![Page 21: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Posture and the Glenohumeral Joint
![Page 22: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Glenohumeral Joint
Assuming good, normal posture:
• Gravity’s tendency to pull the humerus downward is overcome by superior joint capsule tightness. (vector: pulls humeral head inward for stability)
• Little or no deltoid or rotator cuff muscular effort is needed. (even w/ a small weight in the hand)
![Page 23: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Glenohumeral Joint
• With thoracic kyphosis (round shoulders): the rotator cuff must increase tone to compensate for loss of capsular stabilization. Round shoulders may even be a cause of frozen shoulder!!!!
• Increased capsular stress leads to increased collagen production and increased fibrosis
![Page 24: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Capsular Support
Capsule taut Capsule loose
![Page 25: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Glenohumeral Joint
• With the arm elevated or with round shoulder posture:
• Tension is lost in sup. joint capsule• The rotator cuff muscles contract to provide stabilization. Over time, they fatigue!
• Conditions which compromise stabilization: 1. postural changes - round shoulders = downward scapular rotation 2. rotator cuff weakness/ dysfunction / trigger points
![Page 26: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Biomechanics of Abduction of the Humerus
![Page 27: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Abduction of Humerus
● Scapula rotates upward (scapulohumeral rhythm) from upper traps and serratus anterior
● Clavicle elevates & rotates backward
● Upper thoracic vertebrae must extend, rotate and bend to same side. The contribution of spinal movement to full arm elevation is often overlooked!
![Page 28: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Abduction
• There is the danger of the greater tubercle
hitting the acromion, subjecting the soft
tissue to repeated trauma!
• The head of the humerus must be guided
into inferior glide / depression to prevent
impingement during abduction (actively or
passively) AND it must externally rotate!
![Page 29: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Biomechanics of Abduction
External rotation of the humerus occurs due to untwisting of the capsule
Tight internal rotators my prevent this!
![Page 30: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Impingement (pinching)
• Bones: acromion and greater tubercle
• Soft tissue:
supraspinatus tendon
& subacromial bursa
![Page 31: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Coracoacromial Ligament
Runs from coracoid process to the acromion.Important for a/c joint stabilityMay be a source of impingement
Forms a protective arch over the glenohumeral areatogether with the acromion and clavicle (functions as asecondary restraining arch to prevent superior humeralhead dislocation
Can impinge the supraspinatus tendon and subdeltoidbursa.
![Page 32: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Coracoacromial Arch
• An additional site of impingement
![Page 33: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Altered Biomechanics
Impingement is prevented by proper biomechanics and by the proper placement of the humerus during abduction.
Causes of impingement therefore can be: muscle imbalance, trauma, trigger points, weakness,
inhibition, pain, arthritis, capsular tightness, muscle memory following injury
eg. scapula doesn’t rotate bursa is swollen and the space is reduced
Shoulder forward shrugging causes impingement.

Scapulohumeral Rhythm
![Page 35: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Deltoid Muscle
![Page 36: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Muscular Force Couple
• During abduction the humerus must be properly situated for full pain-free movement.
• Force coupling occurs to create smooth pain free movement
eg. trapezius and serratus anterior rotator cuff muscles with deltoid
![Page 37: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Tendonitis / Tendonosis
![Page 45: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Tendonitis / Tendonosis
• Causesoveruse
poor body mechanics
• Pathology
muscle cell damage (tearing, irritation)
microinflammation
fibroblasts
microscarring
![Page 46: Tendinosis & Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Gene Desepoli, LMT, D.C.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649cf05503460f949bebb7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tendinosis / Tendonitis
• Not a true inflammatory condition
• Cell damage causes fibroblasts to
proliferate
• Creates a disorganized scar
(massage and movement)
• Leads to pain and further micro-tearing

Treatment of Tendinosis• General Massage
• Remove TrPs which maintain a shortened / tight muscle
• Transverse Friction massage creates a mobile flexible scar causes “good damage” to allow healing
• Strengthen muscle / tendon to tolerate more stress
• Full recovery = the patient can perform 3 sets of 10 strong repetitions
• Ice may be needed before and after Tx. to decrease pain
