What it is
A rotator cuff injury is a condition that affects the muscles and tendons around the shoulder, causing pain and compromising the mobility and stability of the shoulder joint. This area is crucial for movements such as lifting and rotating the arm.
Causes and consequences
Rotator cuff injuries can be caused by acute trauma, such as a fall or direct impact on the shoulder, or by chronic overload due to repetitive movements or activities that require lifting weights above the head. The consequences include shoulder pain, muscle weakness, restricted movement, and difficulty performing daily activities, such as combing hair or dressing.
