rotator cuff tear/tendonitis
* of 4 tendons, which is most frequently torn?
* diagnosis ?
* treatment?
- supraspinatus
- MRI
- codman’s exercise
rotatior cuff muscles
* what are they?
* movement, nerve, insertion
- Supraspinatus=abudction=suprascapular n.=greater tublercle
- infraspinatus = external rot = suprascapular n.= greater tubercle
- teres minor = external rot = axillary n. = greater tubercle
- subscapularis = internal rot = subscapular n. = lesser tubercle
Scapular motion : elevation
trap + levator scap
Scapular motion : retraction
rhomboid major + minor
Scapular motion : protraction
