The term tendinitis refers to degeneration of the tendon with signs of associated inflammation. It is caused most often by overuse of a joint. Joints and muscles work together and it is impossible to say (it this case) that it is one or the other. So the best answer is the over use of a muscle which goes over a joint. A couple good examples are typing or even texting using the thumbs.
