What Causes Infraspinatus Pain and How Can You Treat It?
The infraspinatus muscle works alongside three other rotator cuff muscles to stabilize and move the shoulder. This triangular-shaped structure primarily externally rotates the arm. This means it rotates the arm toward the outside of the body. It also assists with moving the scapula (shoulder blade) when your shoulder joint is fixed (not moving). Occasionally, repetitive movements or other disorders can cause pain in this muscle.

Ultrasound-Guided Exercise Therapy Targeting the Supinator and Its Radial Nerve Branch for Refractory Lateral Elbow Pain: A Case Series
Lateral epicondylitis is commonly attributed to tendinopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB). Although eccentric exercises, prolotherapy, and percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) are frequently used, a subset of patients experience persistent pain. The potential contributions of the supinator muscle and its radial nerve branch to rehabilitation have not been adequately explored.
