Injury of the Week - Rotator Cuff Tear
Friday, August 7, 2009 at 09:16AM The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder joint as well as lift and rotate the arm. A tear of the tendons occurs as a result of overuse, traumatic fall or blow to the shoulder or aging. A complete tear usually leaves the injured person unable to raise the arm away from the side.
