Document Summary
Sai decreased subacromial space, 3 structures in space that are afected: subacromial bursa, supraspinatus tendon, tendon of the long head of biceps. Something is compressed under the acromion, space under it is very small therefore it is suscepible to changes in control, small impairments. Tendons have a slow degeneraive process, buriis is similar but diferent. Bursa is not an issue of breaking down, but it is a luid illed sack, when we irritate it in the short term it can ill up with more luid (inlame) Athlete presentaion: pain locaion, aggravaing rom, painful arc. Pain will be under the acromion, paricularly the lateral and anterior aspect: more towards long head of bicep, lateral is where supraspinatus might be. Bursa is more spread out, botom margin of acromion. Rom: elevaing the arm, flexion and abducion, seen because its more complicated shoulder moions, most coordinaion, move humerus and scapula, work together to opimize the subacromial space.
