This is a complex entity that includes several musculo-tendinous, articular and neural syndromes than can coexist and they can also be confused with each other. For this reason, it is necessary to do a systematized and exhaustive evaluation where all the dysfunctions capable of generating the symptoms are precisely and independently analyzed. On this basis, a 7 steps assessment algorithm is proposed on this paper to enable the clinician to perform a complete and organized evaluation of these patients, to achieve a correct clinical interpretation.
