Rotator Cuff Injury The rotator cuff is a group of muscles which work together to provide the Glenohumeral (shoulder) joint with dynamic stability, helping to control the joint during rotation (hence the name). The rotator cuff muscles include: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscapularis. Due to the function of these muscles, sports which involve a lot of shoulder rotation for example, bowling in cricket, pitching in baseball, swimming, kayaking often put the rotator cuff muscles under a lot of stress. Problems with the rotator cuff muscles can be classed into two categories Tears of the tendons/muscles, and inflammation of structures in the joint.
