    Abstract

    Painful shoulder syndrome is a frequent cause of visit at physician. The development of knowledge about the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder allows, based on detailed examination, to precise localization of the shoulder dysfunction. Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common cause of pain as well as of limited motion of the shoulder region. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment can lead to serious damage of the structures placed in the subacromial space including the rotator cuff, which along with the deltoid are responsible for movements of the upper limb in the shoulder joint. If not taken seriously, the problem can cause irreversible damages which will result in pain and limitations of upper limb movements.
