  2. Soft-tissue sarcoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-tissue_sarcoma

    Soft-tissue sarcomas commonly originate in the upper body, in the shoulder or upper chest. Some symptoms are uneven posture, pain in the trapezius muscle, and cervical inflexibility [difficulty in turning the head]. [12] The most common site to which soft-tissue sarcoma spreads is the lungs. [13]

  3. Rounded shoulder posture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounded_shoulder_posture

    Muscle strength deficits in the lower trapezius muscles are also a common clinical finding in patients with rounded shoulders as it has been speculated to restrict zygapophyseal extension in the middle to lower thoracic spine. [36] Therefore, RSP treatment often targets the symptoms or root causes associated with these problem areas.

  4. Trapezius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezius

    It is possible to feel the muscles of the superior trapezius as they become active by holding a weight in one hand in front of the body and, with the other hand, touching the area between the shoulder and the neck. [citation needed] Images of the trapezius and the bones to which it attaches, with muscular attachments shown in red

  5. Torticollis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torticollis

    A self-limiting spontaneously occurring form of torticollis with one or more painful neck muscles is by far the most common ('stiff neck') and will pass spontaneously in 1–4 weeks. Usually the sternocleidomastoid muscle or the trapezius muscle is involved. Sometimes draughts, colds, or unusual postures are implicated; however, in many cases ...

  6. Accessory nerve disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_nerve_disorder

    There are several options of treatment when iatrogenic (i.e., caused by the surgeon) spinal accessory nerve damage is noted during surgery. For example, during a functional neck dissection that injures the spinal accessory nerve, injury prompts the surgeon to cautiously preserve branches of C2, C3, and C4 spinal nerves that provide supplemental innervation to the trapezius muscle. [3]

  7. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    The two muscles most commonly inhibited during this first part of an overhead motion are the serratus anterior and the lower trapezius. [10] These two muscles act as a force couple within the glenohumeral joint to properly elevate the acromion process, and if a muscle imbalance exists, shoulder impingement may develop.

  8. Winged scapula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_scapula

    The second category is the lateral winging which is caused by injury of the spinal accessory nerve. Severe atrophy of the trapezius is seen with accidental damage to the spinal accessory nerve during lymph node biopsy of the neck. There are numerous ways in which the long thoracic nerve can sustain trauma-induced injury.

  9. Shoulder surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_surgery

    It is an open surgery and requires an overnight hospital stay and usually a 4-6 month recovery. [2] The recovery depends upon many factors, including where the tear was located, how severe it was, and how good the surgical repair was. [citation needed]
