rotator cuff teres minor location
-posterior scapula, inferior to infraspinatus
rotator cuff teres minor action
- adduction of the arm
- not powerful muscle
rotator cuff teres minor innervation

rotator cuff subscapularis action
-internal rotation and adduction of arm
rotator cuff subscapularis innervation
-upper and lower subscapular
what do the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor all have in common?
