Three months ago I broke the greater tuberosity of the humorous. Now I'm in PT 3 times a week. Until this video I did not understand at all why I was in such pain. My ortho doc mentioned nothing about the rotator cuff until this week. He also never fully explained exactly what he did when I had surgery. Thank you so much for this explanation. It was very illuminating and I will definitely be better able to talk to my doctor when I see him next.
As a moron going getting ready for a consultation on intense shoulder pain this video gave me a precise understanding that I could not find anywhere else. Thanks so much.
+norman Kline There are several components to studying human anatomy. One plan I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Anatomy Blueprint Pro (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful course i've heard of. Check out this awesome site.
You are a lifesaver for my anatomy class, my professor went very quickly over the slides rather than explaining it . Subscribed you and liked your lectures!!!
No problem, one of my aims is to keep these videos as simple as possible (within reason), so it is nice to hear that you could learn something from this tutorial! Good luck with the MRI scan, and I hope your shoulder pain resolves :)
40 years I suffered chronic pain in both shoulders. Doctors were useless. Chiropractor said it was shoulder impingement caused by poor posture. He told me to stick my thumbs out, if they're pointed inward, it's bad posture. Thumbs should be sticking straight out in front of you. They told me to roll my shoulders back, tuck or pinch my scapula in together and correct my posture before exercise. It worked. You would think the first thing doctors check you for is bad posture. Before any MRIs or x-rays or Physical Therapy. The physical therapy made impingement syndrome worse because of bad posture. Square up your shoulders first before any exercise.
Thank you so much for this crystal clear, beautifully illustrated tutorial. It helps me to understand my injury (fracture, proximal end of right humerus - the humerus was pulled down ~2") and to make an informed decision of whether or not to have reverse total shoulder replacement surgery. I've watched several videos that cover this anatomy. This one is the best I've seen.
I just started going to the gym. I can't really work my shoulders properly, there's a lot of pain and weakness from old injuries. I had a personal trainer prescribe some rotator cuff exercises. Now I can visualize which muscles they are and how the exercises will work them and how the arm needs to move to work them. Thanks for this video!
Finally I've been enlightened about the anatomy and function of the rotator cuff. I've read about it in books and articles but just never had a good understanding until now. Thanks!!
Amazing...this was great and I'm not a medical student but I have an injury...in my shoulder..impengment issues now....Thank you for completely explaining it!!!
Nice video and explanation. Just six weeks out from succesful total shoulder replacement. The subscapularis is cut to allow the surgery, then sutured back in to place. lengthy physiotherapy for rehabilitation usually saves internal rotation, by subscapularis contraction, as the last phase of PT, goal being range of motion before adding strength. Thus, every patient needs to be in the hands( literally) of an experienced PT. Hope there is a good tutorial on the muscles that stabilize the scapula on the chest wall, essential to understand rehab more fully. Retired MD here (not orthopedics). Hope this helps.
stumbled on your chanel by coincidence as i was browsing for anatomy videos. ..and by far you're one of the clear straightforward to.the point in the matter ...kepp on the good job sir
brilliant video. thanks for posting. this explains and simplifies for the ordinary person to see. i dislocated my shoulder 8.5 weeks ago. still having lots of trouble and pain. think i mite have to go for an mri scan very soon to find out what is wrong. my movement is bad going to the back and also out to the side. shoulder seems locked and rises once i get near 70 degrees hig to the side.
The conversational tone is very welcoming. That said, the narrative may be more "instructional" if questions were asked - quick pause - then answered. Often this is more effective than straight telling. Also, it would be helpful if the viewer could be led to further information.
Great! Very helpful Just the right level of complexity for me as a yoga teacher. Pity there was a bit missing from the model, but the point about thinking about the insertion of the muscles and not just trying to memorise the names was very well made. Thanks.
Having had rotator cuff for years with daily pain, I gave up caffeine and within 2 weeks the pain had almost vanished. I get a twinge every now and then but I can live with that.
Very useful video giving a quick overview of the rotator cuff. I love pictures and the visual nature of this tutorial made it very easy to imagine and understand how those muscles are placed. Many thanks!
I've narrowed down my problem actually, it turns out that my left upper trap is very tight, it inhibits the job of rhomboid, serratus anterior and lats to stabilize the scapula. since my scapula is in weird position, it got the rotator cuff. I don't quit working out, just decrease the weight and train all the stabilizer muscles and learn to control them the whole time, eventually they will learn the job. after 3 weeks it is so much better now.
EXCELLENT explanation & animation. I was familiar with the acronym, but always confused the specific actions of each muscle until your video. Awesome. SO helpful:) TY
it is pretty much impossible to say over TH-cam, if you are worried see a physical therapist or doctor - they will be able to identify the precise problem and direct you to the exercises/course of action that you need to rehabilitate your shoulder correctly. Recovery times depend on the injury, so I would definitely get it checked out if the pain/swelling does not subside or if you have lost any range of movement in your shoulder.
i went the gym and did a hard benchpress. i didnt even know what happend i didnt feel anything about it but next day i woke up with a shoulder pain. i reseaech all the things about it. than i realize that i can adducting, internal rotationing bur i cant external rotation. so i watched this video and i learned the external rotation muscles from you. now from my researchs i learned ice press to shoulder between 3-4 hours. i’ll do it 10 days and than if it can’t fix it i’ll go to a doctor and say to him “i have injured in bench press and i cant external rotationing so i think i have an injure on teres minor or infraspinatus or posterior deltoid.” sorry for my language i m not good at english :)
ok thanks it healed up, it was a bit swollen the first and second day, but it's all better now, i think i can do everything i used to, do you think i should work out my shoulders to try and prevent it from happening again? and i should stretch my shoulders before i go right or do i have to? thank you again
Please make a video showing the rotator cuff on a cadaver. You diagrams a great but don't show the connective tissue as well as a dissection would. BTW you have a great site. Keep it up.well as an
great tute, im using it to study at the moment. but you should have a look at some studies that show that supraspinatus does not initiate abduction, but rather acts as a synergist during this movement. it makes sense if you look at the insertion of supraspinatus compared to the deltoid, the deltoid would be much more suited to this role.
I've been an athlete, and been young, so I know the impatience you feel. All I can tell you is that no matter how much you want to train, you have to decide whether you want to satisfy your ego by lifting with the shoulder before rehab is complete or whether you want to be a real athlete and go through proper rehab and not train the way you are used to until the doc says to do so. Go talk to any pro, they'll tell you the same thing.
Injured this 10 days ago, yowzer! No more chin-ups for a while. Feels like broken glass in shoulder and hot piping lead running down my arm.. still on a cocktail of painkillers and going for a scan tomorrow to see the extent of the damage
That would be a first degree or second degree neuropraxia, which means you had a minor injury to the shoulder that recovered in less than 2 weeks (1st degree) or more than 2 weeks but less than 4 months (second degree). Some professions call a 2nd degree axonotmesis. You can read more on wikipedia, they actually have a good breakdown of this. In a collision injury like yours it's common to also issue muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is important to see a doctor for this kind of injury.
I injured my rotator cuff while doing incline dumbbell presses about 10 years ago. The MRI indicated a full a tear. However, I haven't lost much in the way of shoulder strength or mobility. So I started questioning whether or not the MRI and the doctor's assessment was even accurate. Since this video shows you the specific function of each RC muscle, I saw that the subscapularis was responsible for internal rotation of the arm. So I tried internally rotating my arm while holding it straight out and sure enough there is a difference between that arm and my healthy side. I can still internally rotate the arm but not, as easily as the healthy arm. So I guess there is some major damage in there.
Awesome, now I have a better understanding of the muscles I need to stretch, and the muscles I need to strengthen and why. Stretching the pec, traps, and biceps along with strengthening the muscles of the rotator cuff should prevent/cure any impingement...at least in my case. We're so hypertonic from internal rotation over and over again every day that external movements become very difficult or impossible. Not this guy though. External rotation for the win.
It would help for general information if you would identify the movement associated with each muscle so that the average person would understand better where his injury lies. Thank you for a great video
ok thank you i will go to a more special doctor for it and it comes back repeatedly, but the thing is, i still want to play, i don't want to wait, cause i don't know how long it will i just hope it heals now over the off season and weight lifting won't be that bad for it.
its awsome and best on the net............ Its so nice that its difficult to express.. ThanQQQQQQQQ. Can you tell me which simulation/software you have used..
I can just imagine you teaching to your class and everybody's getting distracted with the British accent! Good job in your explanation though. Clear and concise :-)
Please get checked out by an orthopedic specialist for a possible sprain or injury. Several years ago I injured my right rotator cuff while doing incline bench presses. My trainer, who worked with the USC Gamecocks football team, was urging me to add more weight to the bar. I told him I was afraid to do so. He put more weights on bar and said "Go for it!" First movement tore my cuff. I went to Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham to repair it. An overzealous physical therapist made it tear again.
Thank You For This Very Informative Video... It Is Much Appreciated... I Have Been Having Recurring Pain And So, I Am Just Trying To Rule-Out A Rotator Cuff Injury, Since My Mother and My [7 Yrs.-]Younger Brother Have Both Had Surgery For This... I Can Now Say, (With A High Degree Of Certainty), That This Is Not The Cause Of My Own Malady. :)
that is my injury .. they restored it ..took 9 months with a professional Kinesiologist to get 98% back ..But this may be why i can not lift myself well yet ..

Because of two shoulder replacements I've been looking for clear understanding of the shoulder. For me,This one has been the best by far.
+norman Kline There are several components to studying human anatomy. One plan I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Anatomy Blueprint Pro (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful course i've heard of. Check out this awesome site.
By far,👍🏽
Just brilliant! Finally somebody who knows how to explain things properly.
Great demo. Much more clear than my PT manuals of Anatomy and Physiology.
Thanks a lot! :)
This video helped me greatly, to understand exactly what is going on with my shoulder, and it's parts.
You are a lifesaver for my anatomy class, my professor went very quickly over the slides rather than explaining it . Subscribed you and liked your lectures!!!
Best tutorials I saw so far for rotator cuff muscles. Thanks for sharing.

Recovering from shoulder surgery (supraspinatus tear) so this was extremely helpful to “see”‘what’s happening. Thank you!
This is one of the most concise description of the anatomy and kinesiology of the rotator cuff I have previewed!
Great video!

Thank you!! This made me realize that my subscapularis is internally pulling on my left humurous, and the bicep long head along with it.
Finally I've been enlightened about the anatomy and function of the rotator cuff. I've read about it in books and articles but just never had a good understanding until now. Thanks!!
Amazing...this was great and I'm not a medical student but I have an injury...in my shoulder..impengment issues now....Thank you for completely explaining it!!!
Thanks, I used to be in the safety business, and I saw a great many rotator cuff injuries. Now I’m learning exercises to protect them.

I enjoy making them if people are learning from them! Glad they helped you out :)
Name of that App
Thank you , you bring clarity in the way you comment and explain
Finally I know it's my subscapularis that's been my problem🙌🏽 thank you
brilliant video. thanks for posting. this explains and simplifies for the ordinary person to see. i dislocated my shoulder 8.5 weeks ago. still having lots of trouble and pain. think i mite have to go for an mri scan very soon to find out what is wrong. my movement is bad going to the back and also out to the side. shoulder seems locked and rises once i get near 70 degrees hig to the side.
Very well done. I was able to follow along because good pace (not too fast) and logical explanation of naming and purpose.
The conversational tone is very welcoming. That said, the narrative may be more "instructional" if questions were asked - quick pause - then answered. Often this is more effective than straight telling. Also, it would be helpful if the viewer could be led to further information.

This is good video. An update would be good showing the model moving and a bit smoother delivery would be great 👍🏻 thanks for posting
Best channel ever
Thank you. This is the best explanation of the shoulder. Thanks 😊

Rotator Cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis
That was pretty cool being able to see everything

PLEASE put this one into the Upper Limb playlist!! It was hard to find!
Super helpful - thank you for creating this video!
This helped so much. Thank You.
It would help for general information if you would identify the movement associated with each muscle so that the average person would understand better where his injury lies. Thank you for a great video
I just stunned by detailing
thanks! love your explanations. will help me pass yoga exam!
Phenomenal explanation. Thank you!
Amazing. I have never learned so much anatomy in under 10 minutes! Thank you!!
I'm a first year medical student and this was very helpful- thank you:)
best video! I couldn't have learned it better.
Very good video.
Very well done
Question :
How do they treat impingment syndrome? With just rest and temperature(heat or ice)?
thx, it turns out that my shoulder clicking is due to weak rotator cuff muscles, this video helped alot!
Thanks! I think thats whats been bothering me. I was worried for the worse, the pain is gone but still feels off and clicks.
Nice job of explanation and great graphics. Thanks for posting it!
great video!! very clear and much needed
Very helpful video.. Thank u so much for helping to understand what is going on inside me.
Thank you. This is the best illustration out there!
thankyou, great graphics and your clear, simple explanations are sooo helpful! learning is more more productive thanks to your vids
ok thank you i will go to a more special doctor for it and it comes back repeatedly, but the thing is, i still want to play, i don't want to wait, cause i don't know how long it will i just hope it heals now over the off season and weight lifting won't be that bad for it.
Fantastic. Very good explanation.
thank you so much! great explanation
Clear and informative. 💓

THANK YOU EXCELLENT JOB!
Its exam time - back to basics with Peter - I love these videos thank you so much.
its awsome and best on the net............
Its so nice that its difficult to express..

really good video - impingement is common in the miltary
Excellent video!! What are those 85 persons thinking? This video is AMAZING!!
Fantastic explanation, as well as graphics. Thank you for helping me to understand!
Great tutorial, helps me understand where this tear of mine is at.
@JejeBabe no problem, glad it was helpful for you!
So good.Thanks you very much.
