Purpose Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints among volleyball players, with the supraspinatus muscle tendon being one of the most susceptible to injury in this type of sport. The movement of the shoulder joint is highly demanding, and the energy involved is relatively high, which affects and exceeds its physiological limits, resulting in rotator cuff tendinopathies, which include the supraspinatus muscle tendon. Ultrasound, a non-invasive technique, is essential for detailed musculoskeletal injury evaluation. This study aimed to assess...
Read more Methods and materials This quantitative study focuses on imaging changes in the supraspinatus muscle tendons. It uses a descriptive-correlational approach to analyze ultrasound data with sample variables. The research was conducted in the Laboratory of Ultrasonography at the School of Health, University of Algarve, Gambelas Campus, Faro.The study sample consisted of 60 individuals, 36 female individuals and 24 male individuals aged between 18 and 28, grouped into two groups: 28 volleyball players and 32 non-sports practitioners. Data was collected through the application of...
Read more Results The sample comprises 60 participants, the majority of which are female (n=36), representing a percentage of 60%, and the remainder are male (n=24), representing 40%. The group of individuals who play volleyball (n=28; 14 male, 14 female) corresponds to a percentage of 46.67% and the group of individuals who do not play volleyball (n=32; 10 male, 22 female) corresponds to 53.33%.The sample had individuals with a minimum age of 18 and a maximum age of 28. Forty-eight individuals aged between...
Read more Conclusion From the present study, it is concluded that the increase in the thickness of the supraspinatus tendon is directly related to the practice of volleyball since the highest values of tendon thickness were found in volleyball practitioners. Regarding the relationship between the measurements of the thickness of the supraspinatus tendon and gender, it was concluded that this presented higher values for the male gender.Regarding the relationship between the measurements of the thickness of the supraspinatus tendon and age, it was...
