THE SHOULDER: is the most mobile and least stable joint
of the body. It is a complex composition made up of the
proximal part of the humerus, the clavicle, the scapula
and its articulations with the sternum, the rib cage and
the soft tissues.
ROTATOR CUFF: it is made up of a set of muscles and
tendons that surround the shoulder joint and hold the
head of the humerus firmly in the shoulder socket, which
is not very intense.
 The most recurrent cause of injury is the mixture
of the usual wear and tear due to age, since
tendons tear more easily after the age of 40.
Other reasons are various musculoskeletal
pathologies that weaken the rotator cuff and
predispose to injury.
Those specific to this rotator cuff injury include:
- Superior Apley maneuver: evaluates the rotator cuff as a
whole.
- Job's maneuver: evaluates the supraspinatus muscle.
- Pinch test: evaluates the subscapularis tendon pinch,
among others.
The diagnosis of a rotator cuff injury is clinical,
performed by a complete physical examination and
investigation. The physical investigation will evaluate
the shoulder girdle as a universal composition and its
particular elements, the arcs of mobility in passive and
active form, as well as muscle strength, but with special
emphasis on the movements of abduction, flexion,
expansion, internal and external rotation.
Conservative treatments, such as rest, ice and
physical therapy, are sometimes all that is needed
to recover from a rotator cuff injury. If your
injury is severe, you may need surgery.
Physical therapy, on the other hand, is usually
one of the first treatments your doctor
recommends. Exercises targeted to the specific
location of the rotator cuff injury can help
restore flexibility and strengthen the shoulder.
Physical therapy is also an important part of the
recovery process following rotator cuff surgery.
