Cuando los tendones quedan atrapados bajo el acromion, el arco óseo rígido del omoplato, pueden causar dolor en el hombro llamado síndrome de choque. Los tendones resultan comprimidos, dañados e inflamados, llevando a que se presente tendinitis del maguito rotador. Esto puede ocurrir por el desgaste general y desgarro a medida que la persona envejece o por la actividad que requiere el uso constante del hombro, como el lanzamiento en el béisbol, o por una lesión.
