Assessment of the stiffness of the upper trapezius muscle in a group of asymptomatic people with cervical spine rotation asymmetry. [PDF]
This study investigated the relationship between the stiffness of the upper trapezius muscle and the range of rotational movement of the cervical spine. A total of 60 right-handed asymptomatic students participated in the study.

Dynamic Reconstruction Using Accessory-innervated Pedicled Latissimus Dorsi Flap for Upper Trapezius Muscle Defect [PDF]
Summary:. The upper part of the trapezius muscle attaches to the acromion and elevates the shoulder, so a defect in the trapezius muscle greatly impairs shoulder-brachial movement.

Untrapped: bilateral hypoplasia of the trapezius muscle. [PDF]
Agenesis or congenital hypoplasia of skeletal muscles occurs infrequently but may occur with specific conditions such as Poland syndrome. The trapezius muscle can vary in the extent of its bony attachments or may have additional slips, however congenital absence or hypoplasia is extremely rare.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography of Upper Trapezius Muscle. [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of positioning a soft flexible tube‐based actuator parallel or orthogonal to the principle muscle fibre direction, on measurements of the stiffness of upper trapezius (UT) muscle obtained using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE).

Complete Unilateral Absence of Trapezius Muscle
Congenital partial absence of the trapezius muscle is a relatively common variation. Several cases of partial absence of the trapezius muscle have been reported. However, complete unilateral agenesis of this muscle has not been previously reported.

Temporal Co-Variation between Eye Lens Accommodation and Trapezius Muscle Activity during a Dynamic Near-Far Visual Task. [PDF]
Near work is associated with increased activity in the neck and shoulder muscles, but the underlying mechanism is still unknown. This study was designed to determine whether a dynamic change in focus, alternating between a nearby and a more distant ...

Desmoid tumor of trapezius muscle: A case report. [PDF]
Desmoid tumors are benign fibrous entities developed from connective tissue, and they result from muscle fascia or aponeurosis. Surgical excision is the main pillar of treatment.A 29-year-old female patient presented with a left postero-lateral cervical swelling that had been evolving for 11 months.
