Risk Factors of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Athletes and those people who participate in sports requiring using the shoulders for forceful or overhead movements may increase the risk of shoulder impingement syndrome. These include baseball, tennis, badminton, or swimming. Similarly, jobs that need a lot of arm movement or heavy lifting may increase the risk as well. These include painters, shippers, construction workers, or factory workers. Some people are born with an abnormal acromion structure, which may increase the risk. Last but not least, shoulder injuries and old age may make you more likely to develop this condition. [4]
