Subscapularis Muscle

What is Subscapularis Muscle ? The subscapularis is a triangular shoulder muscle situated in the subscapular fossa of the scapula. Attaching between the scapula & the proximal humerus, it is one of the 4 muscles of the rotator cuff, along with supraspinatus, infraspinatus, & teres minor.  Rotator cuff muscles act to combine work for stabilization & steer the humeral head within the glenoid cavity during…

Supraspinatus Muscle

What is Supraspinatus Muscle? Supraspinatus is 1 of the rotator cuff muscles, along with infraspinatus, teres minor & subscapularis muscles. Supraspinatus is situated deeply to the trapezius muscle in the posterior scapular region, extending from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula to the proximal humerus. Together with the other rotator cuff muscles, supraspinatus work as a stabilization of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint during the movements of the upper extremity. Additionally, it…
