Isolated and painless (?) atrophy of the infraspinatus muscle: left handed versus right handed volleyball players

Abstract: SUMMARY -The suprascapular nerve originates from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus or less frequently from the root of C5. It runs a short way and crosses the suprascapular notch. It innervates the supraspinatus muscle and the acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joints. Then, it crosses the lateral edge of the spine of the scapula passing through the spinoglenoid notch, and innervates the infraspinatus muscle. These are potential sites of injury to the suprascapular nerve. Three cases of suprascapular nerv… Show more

“…2,4,8,12,15 It has been hypothesized that the unique requirements of the shoulder that occur while striking a volleyball place the suprascapular nerve at particular risk for this injury. 3,13,14,16 Unfortunately there has been no scientific evaluation of other athletes who stress their shoulder in an overhead fashion to determine if indeed this injury is relatively unique among volleyball players.…”

“…No estudo realizado por Côelho [15], o desenvolvimento de neuropatia supraescapular no lado dominante, de um canhoto, exclui a possibilidade do mecanismo lesional da manchete, proposto por Tengan et al [16] como fator causal. Assim justifica-se a realização de estudos adicionais para comprovar a participação deste mecanismo na gênese desta neuropatia.…”

“…Três jogadores atacantes foram estudados por Côelho [15]. Os dois atacantes que batem na bola quando a mesma está mais acima, apresentaram uma maior atrofia do infraespinhal, em comparação com o jogador que utilizava bolas de tempo, batendo na bola quando a mesma está mais abaixo.…”
