French term or phrase: les coulisses bicipitales sont silencieuses
« Examen des épaules
La musculature est bien développée au niveau des ceintures scapulaires et thoraciques. Les stemo-claviculaires, les acromio-claviculaires, les coulisses sous-acromiales antérieures et latérales, les coulisses bicipitales sont silencieuses. "

I am revising a translation done by another translator who has rendered this as:
"...the bicipital grooves are quiet »

I am looking for confirmation that "quiet" is the term used in English to describe this condition.

CA-FR to CA-EN, target audience: physicians

Thanks
