– muscles and their insertional tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint, on their way to attaching from the scapula to the humorous; major function is to control, and produce, rotation of the shoulder

The group of tendons and muscles that attach the bone of the upper arm to the shoulder blade and provide support and mobility to the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder

– muscles and their insertional tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint, on their way to attaching from the scapula to the humorus; major function is to control, and produce, rotation of the shoulder

Comprised of four muscles in the shoulder area that can be irritated by over use The muscles are the supraspinatus(most commonly injured), infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis

The "cuff" formed by four muscles and their tendons, acting to stabilize and reinforce the humeral head in the shoulder joint during movement

a supporting structure of the shoulder consisting of the muscles and tendons that attach the arm to the shoulder joint and enable the arm to move

four intrinsic muscles of the shoulder responsible for arm rotation and keeping the humerus in the glenoid fossa S

A supporting structure that is made up of the capsule of the shoulder joint, mixed with tendons and muscles

A tendon formed by three distinct muscles which stabilise the head of the humerus within the shoulder joint Tendonitis or injury to the rotator cuff muscle can make lifting the arm out to the side and external rotation painful In most cases treatment includes rest, ice, and physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder muscles Hard, extended J-stroke paddling can injure the rotator cuff Been there; done that Don't forget to switch sides and take breaks

A supporting structure that is made up of the capsule of the shoulder joint, mised with tendons and muscles

Comprised of four muscles in the shoulder area that can be irritated by overuse The muscles are the supraspinatus (most commonly injured), infra-spinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis

muscles and tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint and attach to the scapula to the bone in the upper arm (humerus); major function is to control and produce rotation of the shoulder

A set of muscles and tendons that secures the arm to the shoulder joint and permits rotation of the arm

consists of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place

A structure around the shoulder-joint capsule composed of intermingled muscle and tendon fibers The rotator cuff provides stability and strength to the shoulder joint
