Sports related with Rotator cuff injury
Rotator cuff is built for: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor muscles. These muscles stabilize humerus capituli in the shoulder and are responsible for shoulder movement. Their injury often occurs in sports, where repetitive overhead motion and throwing are common such as: volleyball, handball or baseball. Fall or a direct blow to the shoulder, and chronic inflammation can cause rotator cuff strain or tear. The other factors are: overusing, microinjures and poor blood circulation. Rotator cuff tear occurs mostly near humerus capituli. The supraspinatus tendon is the tendon most commonly injures.
