Anatomically, the shoulder joint is the part that is very unstable, because they have the head joint (humeral head), a size three times larger than the bowl joints (fossaglenoid). This will cause both very minimal contact, which is about fifty percent. Other factors that contribute to the stability of the shoulder joint is a negative pressure in the joints through the mechanism of cohesion and adhesion, the role of joint capsule, and balance the muscles of the shoulder joint. The tendon is very important is the rotator cufdan bicep.

There are some injuries in the shoulder joint is most often found in a sport athletes on the head (overhead athlete), such as subacromial bursitis, supraspinatus tendinitis, biceps tendinitis long head, and quite difficult to treat diseases such as rotator cuff tear (rotator cuff tear ). Overall, the clinical symptoms of mild to severe, where patients are unable to lift his arm proven by positive drop arm test, will be evident that such injuries can cause quite severe joint pain when moving or resting.
