Q

What is the function of the rotator cuff muscles?

A

Support/Stabilize the G-H Joint and Help to control it’s movements

*Head of humerus ca be separated from the Glenoid Fossa by 2.5cm when the muscles are cut - this means the non-contractile elements (capsule, ligaments, etc.) don’t stabilize the joint, the muscles do
