Weakness, stiffness, and a sensation of snapping or catching in the shoulder

Also known as rotator cuff tendinosis or shoulder impingement syndrome characterised by:
The pinching of tendons and bursa in the subacromial space
Inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons (tendonitis) and surrounding bursa (bursitis)
Tendon or bursa thickening, leading to increased impingement and inflammation
