  • Yes, the 3 muscles in the back are responsible for externally rotating your arm. Thanks for clearing that up.

  • @PhysicalTherapyTV How does Supraspinatus ext rotate?

  • Yes, he misspoke initially by saying that the three in the back are involved in internal rotation. He says it correctly a few sentences later.

  • Funny, he actually says internally... But what do I know.

  • Except for the subscapularis, all other rotor cuff muscles are involved in rotating shoulder externally...Huh? DId I miss something here?

  • Yes, it can heal without surgery but it's dependent on the severity and location of the tear. Partial tears can heal by itself with proper medical care, physical therapy, and time; looking at 1 to 2 years for complete recovery.

  • Im a 16yo old girl who goes in for rotator cuff surgery on december 5th of this year! Yes i am young as this normally occurs in older adults 40s +So excited because i hopefully wont be in, pain any longer!!! and be able to live a normal life!!!

  • Dude sounds like stephen hawking

  • The "band" of tissue shown in the open pictures is the bicep tendon adjacent to a large cuff tear. It is very abnormal itself as seen by the inflammation on the tendon. A point worth making is that many individuals over 60 have cuff tears that are very minimally symptomatic. The trick is deciding which tears need to be repaired and which do not. A small degenerative tear can unfortunately get bigger with a reinjury and be very symptomatic and quite difficult to fix at that point. .

  • Thank you very much I have had a fall at work and have been out for a week because I have been experiencing loss of strength and range of movement with extreme pain. After the fall during which main impact was right on the right shoulder on hard brick floor with forward momentum and wieght of 200 on 5ft3in 47 year old female seems to be enough tramau to cause some kind of injury and your video helped me relize I need to proactive in my recovery, no more head in the sand for me .THANK YOU!
