The shoulder is one of the most common applications of musculoskeletal US due to the high incidence of rotator cuff disorders related to increasing aging and sporting activities. Many papers dealing with the US scanning technique of the rotator cuff tendons have already been published in the radiolo...
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons, including teres minor, that surround the shoulder joint. They keep the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. Is It a Good Idea to Train Shoulders Everyday? When it comes to training frequency, the...
The scapula (shoulder blade) is a flat, triangular bone providing attachment to the muscles of the back, neck, chest and arm. The scapula has a body, neck and spine portion. Read More Glenoid Fractures The glenoid is the socket that forms the ball and socket joint of the shoulder. Frac...
The shoulder is comprised of several joints that are held together with tendons and muscles. The shoulder joint made up of the glenoid fosse and the humeral head form a ball and socket joint. This type of joint allows for great range of motion. With increased joint motion less, stability i...
(humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle). The humerus fits into the rounded socket of the scapula. Each shoulder is held in place by a group of four muscles and tendons, called a rotator cuff, which covers and protects the humerus and lets you raise and move your ...
Theinfraspinatus and teres minorare assessed by having the patient resist external rotation pressure with the arms held at the sides with elbows flexed to 90°; this position isolates rotator cuff muscle function from that of other muscles such as the del...
considered the most movable joint in your body. The shoulder is a complex joint consisting of the clavicle, scapula, and the humerus bones which require muscles, tendons and ligaments to stabilize them. If the shoulder is not working properly, it can cause great pain, distress and dysfunction....
Your shoulder also relies on strong tendons and muscles to keep your shoulder stable. Description When the ball of the upper arm comes partially out of the socket, this is called a subluxation. A complete dislocation means the ball comes all the way out of the socket. ...
The rotator cuff muscles and tendons also help keep the shoulder joint stable by holding the humeral head in the glenoid socket. The large deltoid muscle is the outer layer of shoulder muscle. The deltoid is the largest, strongest muscle of the shoulder. The deltoid muscle takes over lifting...
Such disorders can affect tendons, ligaments, and muscles crossing the shoulder joint, causing, among others, rotator cuff tendinopathies and shoulder impingement syndromes13, which are usually correlated with the prolonged maintenance of the arms in poorly ergonomic postures, such as overhead, or ...
