KOMPRESIJA SUPRASKAPULARNOG NERVA KOD ODBOJKAŠA

Abstract

Beginning symptoms of suprascapular neuropathy are unnoticeable, and concerns the dominant arm of volleyball players at spiker positions. Atrophy of the supra and infraspinatus muscles is visible, but is usually noticed by accident. Clinical examination is used to determine mobility of the shoulder with the attention to abduction at 90 degrees and maximum external rotation. In this study, none of the players complained about the pain, loss of function or reduced efficiency during the actual volleyball game even though the electro-diagnostic procedures and clinical examination verified suprascapular neuropathy and ensuing atrophy of supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.
