What is the proximal attachment of the infraspinatus?

The proximal attachment of the infraspinatus muscle is primarily located on the infraspinous fossa of the scapula. It originates from the posterior surface of the scapula, below the spine of the scapula, and spans laterally to attach to the greater tubercle of the humerus. This positioning allows it to play a crucial role in shoulder stabilization and external rotation of the arm.

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.


What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?

The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.

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.
