The supraspinatus (pl.: supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and also abducts the arm at the shoulder.
The supraspinatus muscle runs along the top of the scapula (shoulder blade) and inserts at the top of the arm on the humerus bone. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles. A supraspinatus tear often occurs from falling onto an outstretched arm, or from throwing activities.
Supraspinatus tendonitis develops when there is repetitive friction on the tendon or it is repeatedly squashed or “impinged” in the subacromial space. This leads to inflammation and gradual degeneration of the tendon.
Supraspinatus is the most superior of the four rotator cuff muscles. It is a small triangular-shaped muscle, located on the posterior aspect of the scapula. It originates from the medial aspect of the supraspinous fossa, a concave depression located above the spine of the scapula.
Supraspinatus is the smallest of the 4 muscles which comprise the Rotator Cuff of the shoulder joint specifically in the supraspinatus fossa. It's considered as the most superiorly located of the rotator cuff muscles. It travels underneath the acromion.
Learn what is the supraspinatus muscle & where is it located: Its anatomy, attachments, blood supply, vein, what functions it does, its movement, with picture
The supraspinatus muscle mediates the humeral head toward the glenoid cavity and performs arm abduction. It keeps the humeral head from slipping inferiorly on its own. When the arm is adducted, the supraspinatus and deltoid muscle collaborate to achieve abduction.
The supraspinatus muscle, the most superiorly located of the rotator cuff muscles, resides in the supraspinous fossa of the scapula, superior to the scapular spine.
This activity describes the spectrum of supraspinatus tendonitis. This activity discusses information relevant to all portions of clinical care by an interprofessional team for rotator cuff tendonitis. The first objective is to be able to understand the underlying pathophysiology of supraspinatus tendonitis.
Supraspinatus tendinopathy is thought to be caused by both intrinsic, and extrinsic factors. Structural and biological changes happen when tendinopathy develops. Cellular and extracellular modifications characterize tendon healing stages that continue over time.
