Internal impingement is commonly described as a condition characterized by excessive or repetitive contact between the posterior aspect of the greater tuberosity of the humeral head and the posterior- superior aspect of the glenoid border when the arm is placed in extreme ranges of abduction and external rotation. There are two types of internal impingement: anterosuperieur and posterosuperieur. Anterosuperieur impingement occurs only rarely. Because of the wide and thin configuration, it’s possible for the scapula to glide smoothly on the thoracic wall and provides a large surface area for muscle attachments, both distally and proximally.(2. Level of Evidence: 5)The coracoacromial arch and the subacromial elements are important elements of anatomy related to internal impingement. As the name implies, the coracoacromial arch is formed by the coracoid and the acromion processes and the connecting coracoacromial ligaments. It protects the humeral head and subacromial structures from direct trauma and superior dislocation of the humeral head. Impingement may occur when the rotator cuff and other subacromial structures become encroached between the greater tuberosity and the coracoacromial arch. The tendons of the rotator cuff are: - Subscapularis tendon (anterior)- Supraspinatus tendon (superior)- Infraspinatus tendon (posterior) - Teres minor tendon (posterior) The rotatorcuff stabililizes the shoulder against the action of the prime movers to prevent excessive anterior, posterior, superior, or inferior humeral head translation.(3. Level of Evidence: 5). The rotatorcuff tear is located on the articular side of the rotator cuff, typically at the intersection of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus insertions onto the humeral head. By a lack ligaments, the joint delegates the function of stability fully to the muscles that attach the scapula to the thorax. So their proper function is essential to the normal biomechanics of the shoulder. However, non- elite athletes, as well as non- athletes may also be affected by internal impingement. Etiology The understanding of the etiology behind internal impingement has gradually evolved but remains incomplete. The lack of a common biomechanical model is largely due to the limited patient population in which the syndrome is seen in as well as the thousands of associated pathologic findings that have been reported. Impingement has been described as a group of symptoms rather than a specific diagnosis. Glenohumeral instability . This laxity allows for increased anterior humeral head translation. When the posterior structures of the glenohumeral joint are shortened, this may compromise the hammock function of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL), and increase the risk for impingement symptoms during throwing. Younger patients with such symptoms, particularly throwing athletes, should raise the clinician’s index of suspicion for internal impingement. In fact, some authors have identified internal impingement as the leading cause of rotator cuff lesions in athletes. The four rotator cuff muscles may separately provide a disturbed muscle balance. Stage I: (Early) Shoulder stiffness and a prolonged warm- up period; discomfort in throwers occurs in the late- cocking and early acceleration phases of throwing; no pain is reported with activities of daily living. Stage II: (Intermediate) Pain localized to the posterior shoulder in the late- cocking and early acceleration phases of throwing; pain with activities of daily living and instability are unusual. Stage III: (advanced) Similar to those in stage II in patients who have not responded to nonoperative treatments. Differential Diagnosis It is important to understand that the common findings for internal impingement have been found in asymptomatic shoulders so it is key to evaluate the patient's entire clinical scenario. When exam findings are somewhat unremarkable, and when the patient presents with signs of numerous pathologies, yet do not seem to fit any one pathology exclusively, this should raise the clinicians suspicion for a case of internal impingement. During the diagnostic process it is helpful to understand that Internal impingement has a similar presentation to numerous pathologic shoulder conditions, including but not limited to: . Diagnostic Procedures In many situations the diagnosis of internal impingement is made through the physical examination along with MRI . Magnetic resonance imaging has been used frequently to diagnose pathologic conditions of the shoulder. Its sensitivity and specificity for the detection of labral tears and rotator cuff disease are on the order of . Magnetic resonance imaging has the advantage of being able to detect intrasubstance tears that may be difficult to visualize with arthroscopy. The findings of magnetic resonance imaging of patients with internal impingement are usually more subtle. Findings on magnetic resonance imaging of patients with internal impingement include mature periosteal bone formation at the scapular attachement of the posterior aspect of the capsule (The Bennet lesion) and moderate to severe posterior capsular contracture at the level of the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament. The Shoulder Rating Questionnaire also includes a visual analogue scale for global assessment, as well as an item to indicate the domain of most important improvement. They reported a sensitivity and specificity of 7. A positive test would be posterior shoulder pain that was relieved by a posterior directed force on the proximal humerus. The large body of literature revealed extreme diversity in the performance and interpretation of tests, which hinders synthesis of the evidence and/or clinical applicability. Non- surgical treatment . Surgery for internal impingement may be indicated if improvements have not been seen with a prolonged rehab protocol specifically designed to correct any impairments, imbalances, deficiencies and/or pathologic findings. For the surgical treatment, we have different approaches. Prior to any surgical procedure it is highly recommended that a thorough exam under anesthesia (EUA) is done, as well as a diagnostic arthroscopy. Due to the often- confusing physical findings that may be associated with internal impingement, the final therapeutic surgical plan should be aimed at specific pathologic lesions related to patient symptoms that have been identified from an EUA and diagnostic arthroscopy. It’s recommended that the EUA specifically assess for GH ROM, any kind of subluxation, as well as a meticulous analysis for the presence of any instability. Three stages of internal impingement have been described (Table ). Parts of these guidelines are backed by evidence, but many of the treatments discussed have not been validated with medical research, so until that research is conducted these guidelines may provide a foundational starting point for clinicians treating internal impingement. Realize that this protocol is geared toward the athletic population. However, it can be applied to the non- athletic population as well by incorporating activity- specific functional activities instead of sport- specific. A non- athlete may also not need to progress all the way to phase 3, which will depend on the activity level they wish to return to. With muscle imbalances already addressed, the therapist can begin to add dynamic movements into rehab using “tactile cueing” to ensure patient is engaging the scapular musculature before beginning a movement. Progress to verbal cueing. Start introducing eccentric and open kinetic chain exercises in order to begin preparing for specific athletic overhead movements. Strengthening exercises are continued and plyometrics are initiated using both hands and limiting external rotation at first, progressing to one handed drills and gradually working into increasing velocity and resistance. Numerous RCT’s have shown that this internal rotation deficit can be decreased by performing stretches aimed at the p. The sleeper stretch is performed with the patient lying on their injured side with the shoulder in 9. The patient should feel a stretch in the posterior aspect of the shoulder and not in the anterior portion, if they do, then reducing intensity and rotating the trunk slightly backwards can reduce the intensity of the stretch. This stretch has been shown to be superior for stretching the posterior capsule and for increasing internal ROM. Several studies have shown a significant improvement in symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome when a thoracic manipulation was combined with exercise.
