Voorbeelden van supraspinatus

• The patients demonstrated clinical evidence of chronic tendinitis of the supraspinatus muscle, some with calcifying tendinitis.

• The suprascapular nerve contributes sensory fibres to the shoulder joint and provides motor innervation to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.

• In cases of supraspinatus tendinitis, localization was achieved by inline ultrasound on the base of the tendon.

• The intrinsic muscles of the scapula include the muscles of the rotator cuff- the subscapularis, teres minor, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus.

• Another study suggested that shneck pain was in the nearby supraspinatus muscle and this resulted from a seemingly asymptomatic form of shoulder impingement.

• The supraspinatus is most commonly involved in a rotator cuff tear.

• It is in relation, above, in rare cases with the articular disk; below, with the tendon of the supraspinatus.

• Microwave diathermy-induced hyperthermia produced short-term pain relief in established supraspinatus tendinopathy.

• However, the supraspinatus is more effective for general shoulder abduction because of its moment arm.

• The magic angle effect can create the appearance of supraspinatus tendinitis.

• Most morphological changes and injuries are sustained to the supraspinatus tendon.

• The abovementioned human rotator cuff study correlates pennation angle with tear length in the supraspinatus muscle.

• The supraspinatus muscle tendon passes laterally beneath the cover of the acromion.

• This may cause paralysis of both supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.

• The supraspinatus also originates on the spine of the scapula.
