Q

what is the ROTATOR CUFF
and what does it do

A

GROUP OF MUSCLES whose
TENDONS SURROUND the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT

As well as providing MOVEMENT to the upper limb
these muscles STRENGHTEN the JOINT

These muscles are; Subscapularis,

Q

ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES

A
  • Common in people who continuously use the arms above the horizontal – throwing, racquet sports, swimming, weightlifting
  • Can lead to INFLAMMATION and a result tear in the cuff especially the supraspinatus tendon
  • Can test for injuries by asking a patient to adduct their arm slowly – if the arm suddenly drops to their side at 90o it is likely they have injured their rotator
