“…His hypothesis went without experimental proof for nearly 50 years until several anatomical studies demonstrated the existence of mechanoreceptors in ligaments (Gardner, 1944;Wrete, 1949;Freeman and Wyke, 1967a,b;Ekholm et al, 1960;Patridge, 1924).…”

“…Innervation of the shoulder joint. The superior part of the glenohumeral joint is innervated by the suprascapular nerve ( Gardner 1948, Wrete 1949. The articular branch of this nerve has a superior and inferior branch.…”

The maximum sensory conduction velocity was measured along the articular branch of the suprascapular nerve. The potential was evoked by stimulating in the perception area of the nerve above the glenohumeral joint and recorded by an electrode near the suprascapular nerve in the supraclavicular fossa. The maximum conduction velocity averaged 42 m/s, SD 4.6 m/s (20 normal subjects); it decreased slightly with age. When correcting for the error in distance arising from the measurement by obstetric calipers (20%), the maximum conduction velocity averaged 50 m/s. The peak‐to‐peak amplitude of the main component of the sensory potential was 0.8 μV, SD 0.5 μV. In one of seven patients with a pain syndrome in the shoulder secondary to a brachial plexus neuropathy the velocity and the amplitude of the sensory potential was diminished. In five other patients with pain in the region of the shoulder the conduction velocity was normal but the amplitude was diminished.

“…He found evidence for innervation primarily by the SN and the AN, with small contributions from the musculocutaneous and subscapular nerves. 5 There are also descriptions of innervation of the shoulder joint by 5 nerves, such as in the Atlas of Functional Shoulder Anatomy. 6 I was thus disappointed that Eckmann and colleagues' cadaveric examination did not also include the articular branches of the musculocutaneous and subscapular nerves, as it would have provided a more complete anatomical explanation for the residual pain felt following combined AN and SN blockade.…”
