| This shoulder program focuses on the big, powerful deltoid as well as the smaller muscles that make up the rotator cuff. |
| A technique has been described for arthroscopic plication of the rotator interval, but this was not used in our series of patients. |
| After anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy, steroid injections are usually next on the menu for rotator cuff injuries. |
| The rotator has a 100 000 lb load rating and can withstand the head being pushed into the ground to aid machine mobility. |
| In contrast, chronic pain and loss of passive range of motion suggest frozen shoulder or tears of the rotator cuff. |
| Frequently, rotator cuff impingement is the source of the pain, but the underlying problem is the excessive glenohumeral translation. |
