Supraspinatus muscle

fanning out, a part called the coracoid. Also connected to the scapula is the clavicle or collarbone. Another very important component to the shoulder is the rotator cuff, this is the most vital part to rotator cuff tendonitis. It is composed of four muscles and of various tendons that surround the shoulder socket that allow it to connect the upper arm and the shoulder blade together.  Protecting the rotator cuff is is a small sac of fluid called a bursa. The humerus fits relatively loosely into the shoulder

traction on the upper trunk, now called Erb’s palsy (or Duchenne-Erb’s palsy).[5] In 1885, the French neurologist Augusta Klumpke [6] described the clinical picture of OBPP affecting the lower plexus trunk at C8-Th1, leading to paralysis of the muscles of the hand and ipsilateral pupillary dilatation, called Horners sign. Therefore, OBPP affecting the lower trunk is often referred to as Klumpkes palsy. OBPP diagnosed at birth is defined into three groups in accordance with the International Classification

In this assignment I will reflect on why the musculoskeletal system interests me as well as looking at rotator cuff injury and the treatments for this. Reflection As a keen sportsman I have had a natural interest in the complexities of human movement and performance. PE ‘A’ level introduced me to analysis of sporting performance and management and rehabilitation of injury. At this early stage in my physiotherapy career I have decided to stick with the musculoskeletal system as I am most familiar

(1). Traditionally, the diagnosis of muscle denervation was based on clinical findings, electromyography, and nerve conduction studies. However, electro-physiologic studies do not determine exactly the site of muscle denervation (2). Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has an important role in detection and characterization of pathologic conditions of skeletal muscles that cause changes in muscle signal intensity. There are many conditions that may affect muscle signal intensity, such as inflammation

There is capsule which is two layers of members surrounding the joint. Around the capsule, there are some bursae--small fluid-filled sacs to assist the mobility. The shoulder joint is a muscle-dependent joint because it lacks strong ligaments. Muscles surrounding the shoulder joint Trapezius muscle Trapezius muscle attaches to the base of the skull and extends down until mid back and laterally it inserts to the shoulder blades. It is involved in the shoulder blades movement Pain caused by middle and

different degrees of edema, and fascicular disruption with intraneural and/or perineural fibrosis (22,23). Denervation changes of muscle can have several MRI appearances. In the subacute phase the affected muscle demonstrates increased T2-signal resulting from muscle edema. In the chronic stages, fatty infiltration usually accompanied by muscle atrophy represents irreversible muscle injury (24). Our study includes 30 patients complaining of shoulder pain and 10 healthy volunteers as control group, and the

stimulation aims to improve function by strengthening the swallowing musculature or by stimulating the sensory pathways relevant to swallowing or both. To facilitate strengthening, muscle contractions elicited via NMES generally recruit larger and more motor units than voluntary contractions, causing metabolic responses within the muscle tissue that ultimately

of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles. There is only one main way to be diagnosed with Bursitis and it happens when you overuse a joint in sports or on the job. You can put the bursa under pressure for a long time, thus causing the bursa to become inflamed.

Supraspinatus tendonitis typically occurs when there is an impingement of the supraspinatus muscle of the shoulder joint between the acromion as it passes by the acromion and humerus head. In response, the supraspinatus tendon and the contiguous peritendinous soft tissues become inflamed. The supraspinatus is a muscle located in the supraspinatus fossa of the scapula located in the shoulder and is largely affected by supraspinatus tendonitis. The supraspinatus allows for the abduction of the shoulder
