The rotator cuff is important for the dynamic stabilization shoulder, needing to be active most of the time of movement of the upper limbs in order to avoid impact on the subacromial space. In a disorder such as impingement syndrome, these muscles need to be addressed in the treatment of this pathology. Methodology: a literature review from searches of scientific papers in the languages English and Portuguese in the databases was conducted: MEDLINE / PubMed, PEDro and Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the following terms: impingement syndrome AND strengthening ; impingement syndrome rotator cuff AND AND strengthening at each base and their counterparts in Portuguese. Results: The articles used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to determine patients' pain, shoulder disability questionnaire, arm and hand (DASH) to assess the level of function and Constant-Murley Shoulder Assessment Score that evaluates both parameters in order to quantify the commitment and improvement of patients involved. Conclusion: This review has shown that it is important and effective approach the rotator cuff as part of treatment of patients with impingement
