Rotator Cuff Biomechanics

  • Rotator cuff - work in … couples
  • Not working - one of their roles keeps head … against glenoid, deltoid and pec cause instability type force on humeral head
A
  • Rotator cuff - work in force couples
  • A force couple is a system that exerts a resultant movement, but no resultant force. Two equal and opposite forces exert a purely rotation force. In the shoulder the body is the humeral head and the equal but opposite forces are the rotator cuff muscles.
  • Not working - one of their roles keeps head pressed against glenoid, deltoid and pec cause instability type force on humeral head

Q

Anatomically, why is impingement of the supraspinatus tendon a common sports injury?

A

Shoulder impingement syndrome is the result of a vicious cycle of rubbing of the rotator cuff between your humerus and top outer edge of your shoulder.

Supraspinatus tendinopathy is a common source of shoulder pain in athletes that participate in overhead sports
