Injury of muscle(s) and tendon(s) of the rotator cuff of shoulder - what does this mean
Injury of muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff of shoulder occurs due to repetitive overhead activities, such as throwing or lifting, which causes the muscles and tendons to become inflamed and irritated, leading to tears in the tissue. this can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the affected shoulder.
What happens during the disease - injury of muscle(s) and tendon(s) of the rotator cuff of shoulder
The rotator cuff of the shoulder is composed of four muscles and their tendons that work together to stabilize the shoulder joint and enable it to perform a wide range of motions. injury to the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff can occur due to repetitive overhead activities, direct trauma, or degenerative changes due to aging. when the rotator cuff is injured, it can cause pain, weakness, and loss of range of motion in the shoulder. the exact pathogenesis of rotator cuff injury is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of biomechanical overload, inflammatory processes, and tendon degeneration.
