Subacromial impingement is not free of criticism. First, the identification of acromion type shows poor intra- and inter-observer reliability. [26] [27] Second, a computerized three-dimensional study failed to support impingement by any portion of the acromion on the rotator cuff tendons in different shoulder positions. [28]
The acromion is a bony process at the end of the scapula. The shoulder is a complex mechanism involving bones, ligaments, joints, muscles, and tendons. The two main causes are acute injury or chronic and cumulative degeneration of the shoulder joint. Mechanisms can be extrinsic, intrinsic or a combination of both. [27]
When performing the Neer impingement test, the elbow should be extended, humerus in internal rotation and the forearm pronated. When the examiner is passively flexing the arm forward, it is causing compression of the structures between the greater tuberosity, inferior acromion process and the acromioclavicular joint. [1]
A separated shoulder, also known as acromioclavicular joint injury, is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint. [2] The AC joint is located at the outer end of the clavicle where it attaches to the acromion of the scapula. [2] Symptoms include non-radiating pain which may make it difficult to move the shoulder.

The tempo and intensity of the stages are solely reliant on the extent of the injury and the patient's activity necessities. [25] The first stage requires immobilization of the shoulder joint . The shoulder that is injured is placed in a sling and shoulder flexion or abduction of the arm is avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery (Brewster, 1993).
