Partial or complete tearing of the rotator cuff muscles is a common and very traumatic pathology. The term ‘rotator cuff’ is the name of a group of four different muscles, of which the supraspinatus is most frequently affected. This muscle keeps the humeral head inside the joint socket. If it gets injured or tears, we are faced with great difficulty in performing some of our most basic actions. Partial or complete tearing of this muscle’s tendon can occur as a result of acute trauma or a degenerative disease. In the case of acute trauma, the cause is usually a sideways fall, with the arm extending out to the side to protect the body from the impact; if the weight and momentum of the body surpass the strength of the supraspinatus, stretching or tearing can occur. Degenerative lesions are also possible, due to repetitive strain, compression that disrupts blood flow, bone spurring, or prolonged use of intraarticular steroid injections for pain relief. The current program offers late stage rehabilitation following a surgical suturing of the torn supraspinatus tendon.
