The hypocycloid is a special kind of hypotrochoid, which is a particular kind of roulette. A hypocycloid with three cusps is known as a deltoid. A hypocycloid curve with four cusps is known as an astroid. The hypocycloid with two "cusps" is a degenerate but still very interesting case, known as the Tusi couple.
In geometry, a deltoid curve, also known as a tricuspoid curve or Steiner curve, is a hypocycloid of three cusps. In other words, it is the roulette created by a point on the circumference of a circle as it rolls without slipping along the inside of a circle with three or one-and-a-half times its radius .
Other common, associated, nerve injuries include injury to the suprascapular nerve (29%) and the radial nerve (22%). [14] Axillary nerve damage results in a weakened or paralyzed deltoid muscle and as the deltoid atrophies unilaterally, the normal rounded contour of the shoulder is lost.
The capsule can become inflamed and stiff, with abnormal bands of tissue growing between the joint surfaces, causing pain and restricting the movement of the shoulder, a condition known as frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis. A SLAP tear (superior labrum anterior to posterior) is a rupture in the glenoid labrum. SLAP tears are characterized ...
Injury most commonly occurs proximal to the quadrangular space. [3] Injury in this nerve causes paralysis (as always) to the muscles innervated by it, most importantly deltoid muscle. This muscle is the main abductor of the shoulder joint from 18 to 90 degrees (from 0 to 18 by supraspinatus). Injury can result in a reduction in shoulder ...
An injury to the axillary nerve normally occurs from a direct impact of some sort to the outer arm, though it can result from injuring a shoulder via dislocation or compression of the nerve. The axillary nerve comes from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus at the coracoid process and provides the motor function to the deltoid and teres ...
A separated shoulder, also known as acromioclavicular joint injury, is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint. [2] The AC joint is located at the outer end of the clavicle where it attaches to the acromion of the scapula. [2] Symptoms include non-radiating pain which may make it difficult to move the shoulder.
Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.
