These traumatic tears predominantly affect the supraspinatus tendon or the rotator interval [37] and symptoms include severe pain that radiates through the arm, and limited range of motion, specifically during abduction of the shoulder. [40]
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and loss of movement at the ...
The tendons at the ends of the rotator cuff muscles can become torn, leading to pain and restricted movement of the arm.

The test is considered positive if weakness, pain or both are present during resistance. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A positive test result suggests a tear to the supraspinatus tendon or muscle, or neuropathy of the suprascapular nerve .
Calcification of the supraspinatus tendon is a major contributor to shoulder pain in the general population and is often worsened following a supraspinatus tear. The results of the study included the return to sports and original functionality of 95.8% of the patients after a mean of 5.3 post-operative months.
