The Rotator Cuff

چکیده
The annual prevalence and incidence of people consulting for a shoulder condition is about 2.4% in the UK [1]. Shoulder pain in the population is also a longterm disabling symptom with about 50% complaining of symptoms 3 years after onset[2]. Common conditions that can result in chronic shoulder pain include rotator cuff disorders, frozen shoulder, shoulder instability, and shoulder arthritis. Between 30% and 70% [3]of such shoulder pain is said to be due to disorders of the rotator cuff. Mixed disorders are however, common,[3] and this needs to be remembered during a dignostic exercise.
