What is Mild to moderate supraspinatus tendinosis?
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.
What does heterogeneity to the echotexture of the supraspinatus tendon mean?
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.
What is the antagonist of rhomboid muscle?
There are more than one: The deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major and minor and the subscapularis.
What type of fibers are present in supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles?
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.
Where is the the anterior leading edge of the supraspinatus tendon?
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.
Name the origin of the supraspinatus muscle?
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
Surgery after partial tear of supraspinatus?
A tear of the supraspinatus is a tear of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Arthroscopic surgery is the repair to repair for this.
What abducts the arms?
Supraspinatus and deltoid
Is the subscapular fossa located anterior or posterior to the supraspinatus and infraspinarus fossae?
The subscapular fossa is located anterior to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus fossae on the scapula.
Partial thickness articular surface tear of the supraspinatus tendonmild acromioclavicular joint degeneration as described?
No full thickness/partial articular tear of the supraspinatus tendon
What muscle inserts on the greater tubercle of humerus?
supraspinatus
What is Mild to moderate supraspinatus tendinosis?
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.
Which muscle do you contract when you flex your arm?
supraspinatus muscle
What is the para scapular muscle?
The muscle that you are looking for is probably the supraspinatus
What is the purpose of the empty can test?
It tests for the supraspinatus tendon or impingement.
The supraspinatus is named for its location on the posterior aspect of the scapula above the spine What is its action?
The action of the supraspinatus is to stabilize the shoulder joint and help prevent downward location of the humerus and to assist in abduction.
What is patchy T2 prolongation along the undersurface of the supraspinatus tendon?
