Brief Explanations
During shoulder abduction, the greater tuberosity of the humerus must move beneath the acromion and coracoacromial ligament to allow full range of motion; impingement of this structure here is a common source of shoulder pain. The other structures do not pass under this ligamentous arch during this movement.
