subscapularis muscle

It provides an attachment for the subscapularis muscle.

Above and in front it presents an impression for the insertion of the tendon of the subscapularis muscle.

The cinching action can be aided by the subscapularis muscle, though its relaxation is required to accomplish the arms initial outward rotation.

Aides said that Mr. Kerry, 60, has a small tear in a tendon from the subscapularis muscle, which helps movement of the shoulder.

The subscapularis muscle origin is divided from the remainder of the rotator cuff origins as it is deep to the scapula.

Another fact typically for the subscapularis muscle is the fatty infiltration of the superior portions, while sparing the inferior portions.

The upper subscapular nerve inserts directly into the upper portion of the subscapularis muscle, thus innervating it.

One source of snapping scapula is when the muscles underneath the scapula (the subscapularis muscle) atrophies.

In the early innings that day, I wrote that Posada had a torn subscapularis muscle that would send him to the disabled list.

In contrast, the subscapularis muscle inserts onto the lesser tubercle and works to medially, or internally, rotate the humerus.

One branch inserts into the lower portion of the subscapularis muscle and the other branch inserts into the teres major.

The subscapular artery branches from the third part of the axillary and supplies the subscapularis muscle in the subscapular fossa as far as the inferior angle.

Late last January, Mr. Kerry grabbed a railing on a campaign bus when the vehicle lurched, tearing a biceps tendon and subscapularis muscle in the previously injured right shoulder.

The lower subscapular nerve (alternatively, inferior subscapular nerve) is a nerve that supplies the lower part of the subscapularis muscle, and also supplies the teres major muscle.

The bear hug test (internal rotation while palm is held on opposite shoulder and elbow is held in a position of maximal anterior translation) for subscapularis muscle tears has high sensitivity.

The acronym SITS regarding the rotator cuff muscles is completed by including the subscapularis muscle, which unlike the other rotator cuff muscles attaches to the lesser tubercle of the humerus.

Since it is merely cutting a "Z" shape into the subscapularis muscle to provide stretch within the arm, it can be carried out at almost any age and can be carried out repeatedly on the same arm; however, this will compromise the integrity of the muscle.

It originates from the axillary artery and follows the lower border of the Pectoralis minor muscle to the side of the chest, supplies the Serratus anterior muscle and the Pectoralis major muscle, and sends branches across the axilla to the axillary lymph nodes and Subscapularis muscle.
