Supraspinitus
Mild to moderate supraspinatus tendinosis is a condition characterized by inflammation or degeneration of the supraspinatus tendon in the shoulder. It can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the affected shoulder. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and sometimes corticosteroid injections.
Heterogeneity in the echotexture of the supraspinatus tendon refers to a variation in the appearance of the tendon under ultrasound imaging. It may suggest changes in the tendon structure, such as degeneration, inflammation, or injury. Further evaluation is often needed to determine the underlying cause of this heterogeneity.
There are more than one: The deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major and minor and the subscapularis.
The supraspinatus muscle contains mostly type I (slow-twitch) muscle fibers, which are more fatigue-resistant and used for sustained contractions. The infraspinatus muscle contains a mix of type I and type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers, which are used for more powerful and quick contractions.
The anterior leading edge of the supraspinatus tendon is located at the greater tubercle of the humerus, where it attaches to the bone. It is positioned superiorly and laterally in relation to the shoulder joint, contributing to the stability and movement of the shoulder. This tendon plays a crucial role in initiating shoulder abduction and is part of the rotator cuff group of muscles.
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
A tear of the supraspinatus is a tear of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Arthroscopic surgery is the repair to repair for this.
Supraspinatus and deltoid
The subscapular fossa is located anterior to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus fossae on the scapula.
No full thickness/partial articular tear of the supraspinatus tendon
supraspinatus
Mild to moderate supraspinatus tendinosis is a condition characterized by inflammation or degeneration of the supraspinatus tendon in the shoulder. It can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the affected shoulder. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and sometimes corticosteroid injections.
supraspinatus muscle
The muscle that you are looking for is probably the supraspinatus
It tests for the supraspinatus tendon or impingement.
The action of the supraspinatus is to stabilize the shoulder joint and help prevent downward location of the humerus and to assist in abduction.
