Instability2
Chronic4
  • The two main causes are acute injury or chronic and cumulative degeneration of the shoulder joint. (wikipedia.org)
  • 3 Musculoskeletal symptoms affect all age groups and presentation can vary from acute to chronic and simple to complex. (racgp.org.au)
  • Due to the complex soft tissue conditions of the shoulder joint, particularly the tendon at the humeral head of the so-called rotator cuff (composed of the muscle group supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) these are very prone to damage in the sense of chronic irritation or degeneration.
