Movement of RC Muscles
Subscapularis is an
internal rotator of the arm.
Supraspinatus assists the
deltoid in abducting the
arm, with its greatest
contribution being the
initiation of abduction.
Infraspinatus and teres
minor muscles both
externally rotate the arm.
Rotator Cuff Injury
The throwing motion has been divided
into five phases: wind-up, cocking,
acceleration, and follow-through.
Cocking phase
Subscapularis fires in late cocking phase
to decelerate the shoulder's external
rotation. Also, it is stretched during the
cocking phase.
Rotator Cuff Injury
Follow-through (muscles fire most intensely)
Subscapularis internally rotates the shoulder,
The infraspinatus and teres minor contract
eccentrically to decelerate the arm and are
stretched.
During this repetitive eccentric loading, the
rotator cuff is prone to overload, fatigue,
tendinitis, and even a partial undersurface
tear.
Note: Surgery needs
to be performed
within 3 months or
the supraspinatus
muscle will atrophy
and be too short to
reattach
