Description[edit | edit source]
Rotator cuff is a common name for a group of 4 muscles and their tendons that provide strength and stability during motion of the shoulder. The muscles arise from the scapula and connect to the head of the humerus, forming a cuff at the glenohumeral joint.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The rotator cuff muscles include:
| Origen | Insertion | Primary function | |
|---|---|---|---|
| M. supraspinatus | abduction | ||
| M. infraspinatus | exorotation | ||
| M. teres minor | exorotation | ||
| M. subscapularis | endorotation |
Common injuries to the rotator cuff[edit | edit source]
• primary impingement
• secondary impingement
• degenerative anatomical changes
• tendonitis
• rotator cuff tears
