Suprascapular nerve neuropathy in professional volleyball athletes
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study of the suprascapular nerve neuropathy in professional volleyball athletes. The unique anatomy of the suprascapular nerve makes it vulnerable to injuries and compression. Many cases of the shoulder injury include suprascapular neuropathy, but the lack of specific symptoms complicate the true diagnose. Knowledge of the normal anatomy of the suprascapular nerve, features of clinical manifestations, nuances of visualization and assessing the state of the innervated muscles will allow to carry out differential diagnosis in a short time, to identify this problem, so on time to provide patient appropriate assistance. Diagnosis of injuries of the peripheral nerves of professional athletes should be comprehensive and consider the mechanism of occurrence injury, to restore as quickly as possible the efficiency of the athlete, and conduct appropriate preventive measures. Given clinical case allows you to take a look inside at the problem of diagnosis of this type of disease and the result of incomplete and not timely treatment.
