The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of latent and manifest suprascapular neuropathy in high-level male volleyball players. Thirty subjects were examined clinically and electrophysiologically. Suprascapular neuropathy, most probably at the level of the suprascapular notch, was demonstrated in 12 subjects, being latent in eight. Taking into account our clinical findings in a further 36 international-level players, a remarkably high overall prevalence of suprascapular nerve lesion of 33% (22 of 66 subjects) was found. All cases involved the side of the body with the player's smashing arm. These findings suggest that careful monitoring of suprascapular nerve function may be useful in high-performance volleyball players, as early diagnosis is essential to prevent more severe damage.
本研究的目的是评估高水平男性排球运动员中潜伏性和显性肩胛上神经病变的患病率。对30名受试者进行了临床和电生理检查。12名受试者被证实存在肩胛上神经病变，最有可能发生在肩胛上切迹水平，其中8例为潜伏性病变。根据我们对另外36名国际水平运动员的临床研究结果，发现肩胛上神经病变的总体患病率非常高，为33%（66名受试者中有22例）。所有病例均累及运动员扣杀手臂一侧的身体。这些发现表明，对高性能排球运动员仔细监测肩胛上神经功能可能是有用的，因为早期诊断对于预防更严重的损伤至关重要。
