Is rotator cuff is responsible for the flexible extensions at the elbow joint?

No, the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that support and stabilize the shoulder joint, not the elbow joint. The flexibility at the elbow joint is mainly due to the action of different muscles like the biceps and triceps.


What stabilises the shoulder?

The shoulder is stabilized by a group of muscles called the rotator cuff, which includes the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These muscles work together to keep the shoulder joint in place and provide support during movement. Strengthening the rotator cuff muscles through exercises can help improve shoulder stability.


What muscle agonists antagonists and assisters are involved in shoulder extension and flexion?

The muscles located in the shoulder and move the arm are: the deltoid, teres major, and rotator cuff muscles. The deltoid muscle is like three muscles in one: the anterior fibers flex the shoulder, the lateral fibers abduct the arm, and the posterior fibers extend the shoulder. The rotator cuff muscles are the supraspinatus , infraspinatus , teres minor, and subscapularis . They can be remembered with the mnemonic SITS. The primary function of the rotator cuff muscles is holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity. They act more to assist the other muscles.


How do you get a supraspinatus tendon tear?

The supraspinatous is one of the 4 tendons that form the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Full-thickness means the tear is completely through thesupraspinatoustendon. If not full-thickness, it would be categorized as partial.


Where is the subscapularis tendon?

The subscapularis tendon is located on the anterior (front) aspect of the shoulder joint. It is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff in the shoulder, playing a role in internal rotation and stability of the shoulder joint.

What is a rotator cuff?

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and their related muscles that helps keep the upper arm bone securely placed, or seated, into the socket of the shoulder blade. Rotator cuff disorders are usually caused by a combination of factors, such as normal wear and tear. Age-related degeneration slowly damages the rotator cuff, causing one or more tendons to rub against the bones (impingement). Partial or complete tears to the rotator cuff tendon are more likely to occur when the rotator cuff is already scarred, weakened, or damaged. A complete rotator cuff tear in a person with an otherwise healthy shoulder is most often caused by an extremely forceful injury. PAINPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What is a 1.5 x 1.5 cm focal rotator cuff tear?

A group of 4 muscles form the rotator cuff and help to stabilise the shoulder joint. It means that there is a tear in the rotator cuff muscles about 1.5 x 1.5 cm g. Rotator cuff injuries causes difficulty in lifting your arm and may require surgical intervention
