It is a very good question! There are four muscles, which compose rotator cuff. They all keep the head of the humerus in opposition to the glenoid cavity of the scapula bone. The head of the humerus is very large. The glenoid cavity is very small. So they act like a tendon. They are 'functionally' contracting tendons. That is the beauty of this joint. That is the beauty of the nature.
What else can I help you with?
The elbow and knee can rotate on?
The elbow can rotate on one plane, allowing flexion and extension movements. The knee can also rotate on one plane, enabling flexion and extension, as well as a slight degree of internal and external rotation.
Why can you rotate your shoulders in a circular motion but not your knees?
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint - which allows for the greatest range of motion, while the knee is a pivotal hinge joint, because in the human body, there is no need for a knee that can rotate in any direction, but an arm that can do so is almost imperative.
What is the primary action of the sartouris?
Flex and abduct hip, flex and medially rotate the knee, thus attaining 'tailors' sitting position.
Why are you not able to rotate your leg at the knee or your hands at the elbow?
Joints at the knee and elbow are hinge joints, designed to move in one primary direction (flexion and extension). The structure and shape of these joints limit rotational movement to protect them from injury. Rotation at these joints is mainly performed by the muscles and bones of the forearm and leg rather than at the knee or elbow joints themselves.
What muscles are used for knee internal rotation?
The muscles used for knee internal rotation include the popliteus, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gracilis, sartorius, and semitendinosus muscles. These muscles work together to rotate the knee inwards.
What does your hamsting do?
The hamstrings cross and act upon two joints - the hip and the knee. They extend the hip, flex the knee and rotate the lower leg inward when the knee is bent. The hamstrings also extends the hip as when beginning to walk; both short and long hamstring heads flex the knee and outwardly rotates the lower leg when the knee is bent. The hamstrings play a crucial role in many daily activities, such as, walking, running, jumping, and controlling some movement in the trunk.

What happens when you bend your leg?
When you bend your leg, the muscles in your thigh contract, pulling on the tendons that are attached to the bones in your lower leg. This causes your knee joint to flex, bringing your lower leg closer to your thigh. Additionally, the bones in the knee joint glide and rotate to allow for smooth and efficient movement.
If your lower back just feels tight how can you pop it?

You can push your knee towards the ground to help, but not too much- you'll just hurt your back. Do this to your other knee.
