What is Rotator cuff tendinopathy?
when the supraspinatus tendon becomes compressed by the greater tuberosity when the arm is adducted and abducted.

Can be the result of keeping the shoulder in one position over a period of time, sleeping on the shoulder every night, or participating in activities that require extending the arm over the head
What does infraspinatus tendinopathy mean?
The Infraspinatus is one of the four rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder that helps to stabilize and rotate the arm. A tendon is where the muscle attaches to bone. Tendinopathy is a general term meaning injury or disease to a tendon. So Infraspinatus tendinopathy would mean some kind of damage or disease to the Infraspinatus muscle near the area where it attaches to the bone.

Is the spelling of the tendon condition tendonopathy or tendinopathy?
Either 'tendinopathy' or' tendonopathy' is correct, according to both Merriam Webster and The Free Dictionary. More specifically, it can be tendinitis, (or tendonitis), or tendinosis, (or tendonosis). The spellings using 'tendon' are probably less confusing, because while the word 'tendin' does exist, it refers to a protein, not to a musculo-skeletal component.
