“…The most related cause of anterior shoulder pain is subcoracoid impingement syndrome, defined as the encroachment of the posterolateral coracoid process upon the lesser tuberosity of the humerus [6], causing a compression of soft tissues, such as the subscapularis tendon, glenohumeral joint capsule and subcoracoid bursa, and occasionally the long head of the biceps tendon [7]. Anatomic differences for humerus lesser tuberosity and coracoid process [6, 8], as well as anteversion and internal humeral rotation [7], and a history of chronic overuse of persisted flexion, adduction and internal rotation shoulder positions [9], have also been established as possible causes of anterior shoulder pain.…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was twofold: (i) to assess the intrarater reliability of coracohumeral distance; (ii) to investigate the level of association between coracohumeral distance measured by ultrasonography, and pain-disability and shoulder range of movement, in patients suffering from chronic anterior shoulder pain.MethodsAn observational, cross sectional study was carried out. A convenience sample comprised of 87 patients with chronic anterior shoulder pain was assessed from 3 primary care centres. Main outcomes as pain and function were measured through the shoulder pain and disability index. Furthermore, shoulder range of movement-free of pain in shoulder elevation, as well as coracohumeral distance at both 0 and 60 degrees, were collected.ResultsAbsence of any correlation was found between coracohumeral distance and shoulder pain and disability index at both 0 and 60 degrees of shoulder elevation. Furthermore, absence of any correlation was found between coracohumeral distance measurements and active shoulder range of movement -free of pain.ConclusionsThere was poor association between coracohumeral distance and shoulder pain and function, as well as with shoulder range of movement, in patients with chronic anterior shoulder pain. Hence, clinicians should consider, not only increasing this space, but also other possibilities in their therapies, when patients with anterior shoulder pain are treated.Trial registration ACTRN12614000144617.

“…It is often only appreciated when patients have persistent pain, possibly even after subacromial decompression for rotator cuff disease has been performed with no relief of symptoms. Orthopaedic surgical studies have demonstrated that the location of the coracoid tip affects the shape of the subcoracoid outlet [1]. Different shapes have been described but in particular a Bchevron^-shaped outlet in which the coracoid tip lies inferior to the supraglenoid tubercle has been shown to correlate surgically with subcoracoid impingement and entrapment of the subscapularis tendon ( Fig.…”

“…On the other hand, coracoid impingement refers to impingement of the subscapularis and/or adjacent soft tissues between the coracoid process and the lesser tuberosity. Although coracoid impingements are rare, it is important to differentiate them from other types of SIS since they usually require surgical treatment (Okoro et al, 2009). The types of SIS described above are classified based on the location of the impingement.…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to review the literature evaluating the effect of isokinetic training in patients suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Studies published up to March 2011 were located from the Pubmed, Scopus, Lilacs, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and Cochrane Library databases using "isokinetic", "shoulder", and "impingement" as key words. Referenced studies were also checked. Studies were included if isokinetic training was employed as at least one of the treatments in the therapeutic program to treat shoulder impingement or other shoulder pathologies leading to impingement-related pain. All eligible studies described the level of evidence, patient characteristics, interventions, outcome evaluation, results, complications, and return to work. There were 2 randomized control trials (RCTs) and 4 studies with level 4 evidence that met the inclusion criteria. All of the studies included showed a statistically or clinically significant outcome after isokinetic training. However, most of the studies could not identify the isolated effect of isokinetic training. There was not enough evidence to support or refute the effectiveness of isokinetic training for SIS. This result does not reflect a true lack 745 ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (1): 744-757 (2014) Isokinetic training on shoulder impingement of effect, but rather a lack of RCTs. A consensus definition of the different types and stages of SIS is urgently needed. More RCTs are also essential to clarify the value of this technique. The homogeneity of treatment interventions, study populations, and outcome measures should be prioritized. Further studies are also needed to clarify the differences in isokinetic data across different types and stages of shoulder impingement.
