This muscle is the main abductor of the shoulder joint from 18 to 90 degrees ( from 0 to 18 by supraspinatus ).
22.
Calcification of the supraspinatus tendon is a major contributor to shoulder pain in the general population, and is often worsened following a supraspinatus tear.

Calcification of the supraspinatus tendon is a major contributor to shoulder pain in the general population, and is often worsened following a supraspinatus tear.
24.
The increase in pennation angle following full-thickness tendon tears will result in a change to the PCSA of the supraspinatus and infraspinutus muscles.
25.
Active exercises include the Pendulum exercise ( as shown in Image 2 ), which is used to strengthen the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Subscapularis.
26.
Joyce also found a partial tear in the main tendon of a muscle in the rotator cuff, the supraspinatus, and repaired it by shaving it down.
27.
These exercises are used to increase stability, strength and range of motion of the Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Teres minor muscles within the rotator cuff.
28.
Since the long biceps tendon absents itself from the shoulder joint through the rotator cuff interval it is easily possible to distinguish between the supraspinatus and the subscapularis tendon.
29.
Because individuals are highly dependent on the shoulder for many activities, overuse of the muscles can lead to tears, the vast majority again occurring in the supraspinatus tendon.
30.
It is in relation, above, with the clavicle and under surface of the deltoid muscle; below, with the tendon of the supraspinatus, a bursa being interposed.
