supraspinatus muscle and calculated occupational ratio after US measurements performed four times.

supraspinatus muscle, (4) infraspinatus muscle, (5) teres minor muscle, and (6) teres major rupture.
Function of
supraspinatus muscle with torn cuff Evaluated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
A complete tear of
supraspinatus muscle occurred in 55% of the cases, a partial tear of
supraspinatus muscle happened in 15%, a complete tear of the tendon of supraspinatus and subscapularis muscles was in 20%, and a complete tear of supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles occurred in 10% of the cases.
In this study, [F.sub.physio] of the
supraspinatus muscle was set to 117 N (Hughes and An, 1996).
Additionally, an MRI was scheduled demonstrating a partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon, fluid in the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa compatible with shoulder impingement and moderate degenerative changes at the acromioclavicular joint encroaching upon the
supraspinatus muscle tendon complex.
The test is considered positive for a
supraspinatus muscle tear if the patient is unable to keep the arm elevated after the physician releases the arm.

supraspinatus muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration associated with recurrent anterior shoulder instability: A case report and review of the literature.
Primary intramuscular hydatidosis of
supraspinatus muscle. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg.2001;121: 93-948.
The
supraspinatus muscle arises from the posterior aspect of the scapula, just above the scapular spine, and courses horizontally and anteriorly at the level of the acromioclavicular joint, a good landmark for its musculotendinous junction.
Local peri-scapular wasting, especially the
supraspinatus muscle, viewed from above brings suprascapular nerve entrapment into the differential diagnosis.
SIS presents in many forms including bursitis and degenerative tendinitis and can lead to partial or full-thickness ruptures of the
supraspinatus muscle and tendon.
