Synonyms Latin: M. deltoideusThe shoulder forms a large, three-sided muscle about 2 cm thick. The shape of the deltoid muscle is similar to the shape of the upside-down Greek delta, which gives it its name. The muscle consists of three parts: The anterior deltoid originates from the clavicle, the middle and posterior part from the … Delta muscle
Function The deltoid muscle (Musculus deltoideus) becomes the most important lifter of the arm through the middle section coming from the shoulder blade. The deltoid muscle allows the arm to move in all directions (dimensions). Key blade portion (pars clavicularis): Shoulder roof portion (pars acromialis): Rear portion (pars spinalis): Information on all movement forms can … Function | Delta muscle
Therapy For the treatment of a strain, the so-called PECH (pause, ice, compression, elevation) rule can be applied. This serves to reduce swelling. The faster the cooling, the greater the effect. These methods of treatment reduce the blood flow in the muscle tissue and thus the leakage of water (edema formation, swelling). If the axillary … Therapy | Delta muscle
Introduction The musculus serratus or also called M. Serratus anterior is a muscle of the shoulder girdle musculature and is therefore attributed to the upper extremities. Its origin extends with its tendons from the 1st -9th rib. However, it has three different points of attachment on the shoulder blade or scapula. The upper part of … Musculus serratus
Training Push-ups are a very good and intensive training for the M. Serratus anterior. Not only is the Serratus anterior muscle trained, but also other muscle groups. In addition, they can be done anywhere where there is only a little space available and absolutely no equipment is needed. However, to make the anterior serratus muscle … Training | Musculus serratus
The Musculus supraspinatus originates at the Fossa supraspinata of the shoulder blade and starts at the large hump (Tuberculum majus) of the humerus. It lies above the spina scapulae. In the shoulder joint, the supraspinatus muscle causes the arm to rotate outwards and moves it away from the body. The muscle also passes over the … Musculus supraspinatus
Function The musculus subscapularis originates on the inside of the shoulder blade, the fossa subscapularis. It starts at the small hump (tuberculum minus) of the humerus and at the bony structure below (crista tuberculis minoris). The main task of the muscle is the internal rotation of the upper arm in the shoulder. The muscle also … Subscapular Musculus
Position and function The supraspinatus tendon is the attachment tendon of the supraspinatus muscle (upper bone muscle). This muscle has its origin at the back of the shoulder blade and attaches to the head of humerus via its tendon. The muscle is mainly responsible for spreading the arm away from the body (abduction), especially at … Supraspinatus tendon
Inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon Due to its location and strain, an inflammation in the area of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle can occur quickly and repeatedly. Such inflammation is usually caused by overstraining the muscles in the shoulder region (e.g. lifting heavy loads) or by incorrect loading (incorrect lifting of loads). Symptoms of … Inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon | Supraspinatus tendon
Supraspinatus tendon rupture A rupture of the supraspinatus tendon, which can also be described as a rotator cuff rupture, results in a sudden separation of the supraspinatus tendon from the muscle or in the tendon being severed in two halves. Although the tear occurs suddenly and usually after a jerky movement of the arm or … Supraspinatus tendon rupture | Supraspinatus tendon
Synonyms in a broader sense Supraspinatus tendon Shoulder Muscles Musculus supraspinatus Musculus infraspinatus Musculus teres minor Anatomy The rotator cuff is a functionally important muscle group of the shoulder, which originates from the scapula and lies around the head of humerus like a cuff and is jointly responsible for the rotation and lifting of the … Rotator cuff
Function of the rotator cuff The function for arm movement of each muscle involved in the rotator cuff has already been described.In summary, the rotator cuff plays a major role in the rotation of the arm, i.e. the outer and inner rotation of the upper arm. The rotator cuff is therefore extremely important for the … Function of the rotator cuff | Rotator cuff
