	~~'''~~Supraspinous Fascia''' is a layer of [[fascia]] that covers the [[supraspinatus muscle]] in the [[human body]]. It is a part of the [[deep fascia]], which is a fibrous layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, binding them together in a manner similar to the original fascia.		{{DISPLAYTITLE:Supraspinous Fascia}}

	==~~Etymology~~==		== Supraspinous Fascia ==
	The term "Supraspinous" is derived from the Latin words "supra" meaning above and "spina" meaning spine. "Fascia" is a Latin term meaning band or bandage. Thus, "Supraspinous Fascia" refers to the bandage above the spine.

	~~==Anatomy==~~		[[File:Gray412.png\|thumb\|right\|Diagram of the supraspinous fascia and surrounding structures.]]
	~~The Supraspinous Fascia is located in the upper back region, covering the supraspinatus muscle which is one of the four muscles of the~~ [[~~rotator cuff]]~~. ~~It is a thick, fibrous and dense structure that provides support and protection to the muscle underneath. It also serves as a medium for~~ the ~~passage of small blood vessels~~ and ~~nerves to the supraspinatus muscle~~.

	~~==Function==~~		The '''supraspinous fascia''' is a connective tissue structure located in the back, specifically in the region of the [[thoracic vertebrae]]. It is part of the complex network of fasciae that support and stabilize the [[musculoskeletal system]].
	The ~~primary function of the Supraspinous Fascia~~ is ~~to provide~~ a ~~protective layer for~~ the ~~supraspinatus muscle. It also helps~~ in the ~~smooth movement~~ of the ~~muscle by reducing friction between~~ the ~~muscle and other surrounding structures. Additionally, it serves as a conduit for small blood vessels~~ and ~~nerves supplying~~ the ~~muscle~~.

	In certain medical conditions such as [[frozen shoulder]] or [[rotator cuff tear]], the Supraspinous Fascia may become inflamed or damaged, leading to pain and restricted movement. Treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.

	~~==Related Terms==~~		The supraspinous fascia is situated above the [[spinous processes]] of the thoracic vertebrae. It extends from the [[nuchal ligament]] in the neck down to the [[sacrum]] in the lower back. This fascia is continuous with the [[thoracolumbar fascia]] and plays a crucial role in the structural integrity of the back.

	~~{{stub}}~~		The primary function of the supraspinous fascia is to provide support and stability to the vertebral column. It acts as a tension band that helps maintain the alignment of the vertebrae during movement. Additionally, it serves as an attachment point for various muscles, including the [[trapezius]] and [[latissimus dorsi]], which are involved in the movement of the shoulders and arms.

			=== Clinical Significance ===

			Injuries or dysfunctions of the supraspinous fascia can lead to back pain and reduced mobility. Conditions such as [[fasciitis]] or [[myofascial pain syndrome]] may involve the supraspinous fascia, requiring interventions such as physical therapy or manual manipulation to alleviate symptoms.
