Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff (often mistakenly called rotator cup or rotary cuff) is a group of four tendons, and their muscles, that stabilize the shoulder joint and move the arm. Tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that attach the end of a muscle to a bone. A torn rotator cuff is a common sports injury. In most cases it is the tendons that are torn. Some shoulder pain is just from overuse or strain causing inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis).

During elbow flexion, the primary muscles involved are the biceps brachii and brachialis. The rotator cuff plays a supportive role by stabilizing the shoulder joint, ensuring proper alignment and function of the arm during the movement.
