One exercise is missing
editThey found five exercises that had optimal utilization of each of the four scapular muscles: horizontal abduction with external rotation, side lying external rotation, side lying forward flexion, side lying forward flexion, and prone extension.

Insufficiently supported strong statement - may lack neutral POV?
editThe statement below is problematic: "Corticosteroids actually cause musculoskeletal disorders,[12] which explains the low success rate of cortisone injections. Research has shown that over 90% of tendinopathies have no inflammation, thus the term tendinosis is more appropriate than tendinitis for most diagnoses.[10] For tendinosis, prolotherapy injections or cross-fiber (transverse) friction massage can be very effective."
While reports may show the potential for corticosteriods to cause musculoskeletal disorders, the rate is unclear and there is insufficient evidence cited to claim it as an explanation for low success rates. Also, results from a very small number of research reports should not be the basis for stating a conclusion as absolute fact.
The strongest I would have stated the various results are: There is evidence that in some cases corticosteroids may actually cause musculoskeletal disorders,[12] which could potentially explain the low reported success rate of cortisone injections. Some researchers report that over 90% of tendinopathies have no inflammation, thus the term tendinosis might be more appropriate than tendinitis for most diagnoses.[10] For tendinosis, some practitioners have reported that prolotherapy injections or cross-fiber (transverse) friction massage can be very effective."
If another reviewer agrees, I suggest they make the change.
Motion to Redirect Shoulder Impingement Syndrome to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
editRotator cuff tendinopathy subsumes several other categories that currently have their own page. Impingement syndrome is one of those categories, and this motion was suggested as impingement syndrome is an alternative name based on a specific theory that most experts feel is no longer applicable.
