Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accessibility and localization of spinal accessory and suprascapular nerves in the suprascapular region in healthy volunteers using ultrasonography.

Methods: One hundred healthy volunteers were included and the location of the spinal accessory nerve (SAN) and suprascapular nerve (SSN) was assessed in the right suprascapular region.

Findings: Seventy men and 30 women, (mean age 40.

Background: In this study, we described the anatomy of the brachial plexus of the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus). The description of the brachial plexus anatomy can contribute to the knowledge of the neuroanatomy of small mammals. Furthermore, it is a source of information for clinicians performing brachial plexus anesthesia in exotic animals such as the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus).

Introduction: Neck and upper-back stiffness involves discomfort/ache in the trapezius muscle (TM). The pathogenesis of 'essential neck and upper-back stiffness' without obvious causes remains uncertain. In symptomatic subjects, TM hardness correlates with decreased transverse cervical artery (TCA) blood flow to the TM.

Neurodynamic testing of the suprascapular nerve: An observational cadaveric study.

Clin Biomech (Bristol)

Background: Suprascapular neurodynamic tests are used to clinically test for suprascapular nerve mechanosensitivity. Various tests described in the literature are proposed to induce suprascapular nerve mechanical strain but their potential effects on nerve strain have not been established.

Methods: This observational cadaveric study used biomechanical measurements to evaluate and compare the strain undergone by the suprascapular nerve during five different neurodynamic positions: (1) Cervical contralateral rotation and scapular retraction; (2) Cervical contralateral sidebending + shoulder girdle depression; (3) Shoulder girdle depression, retraction, posterior tilt and downward rotation; (4) Position 3 + contralateral cervical sidebending; and (5) Scapular protraction + Cervical contralateral sidebending (protraction sidebending test).

Paralabral Cysts with Associated Infraspinatus and Teres Minor Denervation: A Case Report.

J Orthop Case Rep

Introduction: The shoulder is one of the most intricate articulation complexes in the human body. Any insult to its equilibrium can cause joint instability, pain, and dysfunction. The complex bony projections of the scapula, lengthy nature of the nerves, and extensive mobility of the joint places nerves at risk for impingement; this can, especially, be seen when examining the axillary and suprascapular nerves.
