32549. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The teres major muscle is a muscle of the upper limb. It attaches to the scapula and the humerus and is one of the seven scapulohumeral muscles. It is a thick but somewhat flattened muscle. The teres major muscle (from Latin teres, meaning "rounded") is positioned above the latissimus dorsi ...
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling ...
The lower subscapular nerve contains axons from the ventral rami of the C5 and C6 cervical spinal nerves. [2][3] It is the third branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. [4][5] It gives branches to 2 muscles: subscapularis muscle. [2] It usually gives 4 branches to innervate the subscapularis, and can give up to 8 branches.
A common cause of shoulder pain in rotator cuff impingement syndrome is tendinosis, which is an age-related and most often self-limiting condition. [ 14 ] Studies show that there is moderate evidence that hypothermia (cold therapy) and exercise therapy used together are more effective than simply waiting for surgery and they suggest the best ...
Specialty. Orthopedics, sports medicine. Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [ 1 ]

[1] Complications: Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatization. [2] Types: Postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome. [1] Diagnostic method: Rome IV criteria. [1 ...
The scapula is a thick, flat bone lying on the thoracic wall that provides an attachment for three groups of muscles: intrinsic, extrinsic, and stabilizing and rotating muscles. The intrinsic muscles of the scapula include the muscles of the rotator cuff —the subscapularis, teres minor, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus. [ 3 ]
