Patients must avoid any trauma to muscle tissue, such as surgeries or injections

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

• Rotator cuff tear

• Myasthenia gravis

May be caused by repetitive trauma to the shoulder joint, particularly through sports injuries

• Rotator cuff tear

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

• Myasthenia gravis

• Tetanus

Commonly treated with physical therapy and RICE (rest, ice ,compression, elevation) therapy
