Abstract:
We report a case of combined multiple muscle deficiency around shoulder and upper back. His chief complaint was difficulty in shoulder abduction above his head. After thorough evaluation using electromyography, isokinetic muscle testing and magnetic resonance imaging, despite of mild symptom, he showed multiple muscle deficiency such as bilateral whole trapezius, latissimus dorsi and unilateral partial pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscle.
