The rotator cuff is the name for the group of muscles and tendons that make up the shoulder joint. When the rotator cuff is strong and stable, it allows for movement and motion so that a person can do different tasks using the arms and hands.
This body part, however, is prone to injuries due to degeneration among older adults or trauma, especially for those with an active lifestyle. It’s also a common sore spot for people whose jobs entail repetitive use and forceful movement of their shoulder joints, such as those in construction industries.
