Shoulder Impingement - Part 2
Eric Cressey MA, CSCS In last week's article, I went into some detail on why I really didn't like the catch-all term "impingement." This week, I'm going to talk about the different kinds of impingement: external and internal. External impingement, also known as outlet impingement, is the one we hear about the most. Here, we're dealing with compression of the rotator cuff -- usually the supraspinatus, and over time, the infraspinatus (and biceps tendon) -- by the undersurface of the acromion. This happens a lot more with ordinary weekend warriors and very common in lifters -- and is definitely more prevalent in older populations. . . .
