The four insertions from the (Rotator Cuff) muscles along with the M. Biceps tendon keep the caput Humeri of the Humerus locked in the cavitas glenoidalis of the Scapula allowing you to have a high mobility in your glenohumeral-joint.

Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
I consulted “Pubmed” to search for clinical trials related to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy. For that I typed in the following :
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Rotator Cuff Tendinitis,
- Rotator Cuff Therapy,
- Shoulder Impingement,
- Rotator Cuff Tendons.
I expanded my search to “Pedro” and “Web of Knowledge” but didn’t find as much information as on “Pubmed”. I also borrowed some related anatomical books from the VUB-library and from my personal physiotherapist to get more information.
Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy indicates a problem with your shoulder muscles. It can be caused by an overload of the four muscles located in that region, or an inflammation of one of the tendons. Other causes of a tendinopathy can be found in impingement of the bursa and calcification of the tendons from the rotator cuff muscles.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The four insertions from the (Rotator Cuff) muscles along with the M. Biceps tendon keep the caput Humeri of the Humerus locked in the cavitas glenoidalis of the Scapula allowing you to have a high mobility in your glenohumeral-joint. There are also intervening bursa within those anatomic structures who provide an extra smooth movement. [2]
