- Dr. Ebraheim's animated educational video describing muscles of the rotator cuff.
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscle; the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and the subscapularis .
These four rotator cuff muscles all originate from the scapula and insert into the proximal humerus .
Supraspinatus
The supraspinatus muscle arises from the supraspinous fossa and is inserted into the superior facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus . The supraspinatus abducts the arm and stabilizes the humerus. A tear in the supraspinatus muscle will result in the inability to abduct the shoulder.
The supraspinatus and the infraspinatus muscles are both supplied by the suprascapular nerve (C5, C6), which arises from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus.
When testing the supraspinatus muscle, a physician can perform the Neer Impingement Test, Hawkin’s Test or the Jobe’s Test. In the Jobe’s test, the supraspinatus muscle is tested with the shoulder abducted to 90°, flexed to 30°, and maximally internally rotated. Downward pressure is resisted primarily by the supraspinatus muscle. Jobe’s test is probably the best test for this muscle function.
Infraspinatus
The infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle located on the posterior aspect of the scapula. It originates from the infraspinatus fossa and inserts into the middle facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus. The infraspinatus is the primary external rotator with the arm to the side and it also helps to stabilize the humerus. External rotation of the shoulder occurs in conjunction with the teres minor.
The infraspinatus muscle and the supraspinatus muscles are supplied by the suprascapular nerve (C5,C6), which arises from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus .
When there is a tear of the infraspinatus muscle, the patient will have dysfunction with external rotation of the arm. The infraspinatus muscle is usually evaluated by testing the external rotation of the shoulder with the arm to the side, it is testing the external rotation of the arm against resistance. During the external rotation lag test, the examiner passively rotates the arm into full external rotation. The test is positive when the examiner lets go of the arm and the patient is unable to maintain the position of full external rotation.
Teres Minor
The teres minor originates at the lateral border and adjacent posterior surface of the scapula and it inserts at the greater tubercle of the humerus. The teres minor muscle is involved in external rotation of the arm along with the infraspinatus muscle (infraspinatus is the primary external rotator of the arm).
The teres minor muscle is innervates by the posterior branch of the axillary nerve (posterior cord C5, C6) .
When testing the teres minor, the physician will conduct the Horn Blower’s Test. This tests the external rotation with the arm held in 90° of abduction . The test is positive if the arm falls into internal rotation.
Subscapularis
The subscapularis is a large triangular muscle, which fills the subscapular fossa and inserts into the lesser tubercle of the humerus and the front of the capsule of the shoulder joint (Figure 12).The subscapularis rotates the head of the humerus medially (internal rotation) and adducts the arm. It is the internal rotator of the arm.
The subscapularis muscle is innervated by the upper and lower subscapular nerves (posterior cord C5, C6, C7).
The physician can test the subscapularis muscle by performing the Lift-off test. If the patient is unable to lift the hand off of the lower back, then a tear of the subscapularis tendon is suspected. The lift-off lag test is another test that may be utilized. The examiner will hold the patient’s hand away from the back at the lumbar region and let go. The patient will be unable to keep the hand away from the back if the tendon is torn. A third test that may be used is the belly-press test. The physician has the patient press the palm of the hand against the abdomen with the wrist in a neutral position, this is an example of an intact subscapularis tendon. A positive sign for the belly-press test occurs if the patient is unable to press his belly without wrist volar flexion or the elbow falling posteriorly.

NO ONE CAN DO BETTER THAN YOU DR NABEEL. VERY SIMPLIFIED INFORMATION IN BEST ANIMATED DESIGN
Years of absolute misery trying not just to remember the rotator cuff muscles, but to understand them. All solved by your 8 min video! Thank you so much.
Simply the BEST graphic explanation on the internet. Congratulations and thank you for this unvaluable video! 👏👏👏
BEAUTIFUL diagram and narration which will help me through comprehension of the anatomy/physiology rotator cuff info for the arthroscopy coming up to repair the tear.
Dr Nabil your videos have helped me all through my surgeries. I can understand why I get so much pain in these areas. Your honestly the best
This video is absolutely brilliant for detail. The explanation of the area,and,the muscles involved is superb. It tells me exactly what I needed to now. Excellent,Dr Ebraheim.
Sir I admire your presentations . That are beautifully delineated both anatomically, functionally including pathological process. Thanks to you for putting them in public presentations.
These 7 and a half minutes were very very useful! Thank you.
Your videos are the best I've seen on the internet !!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for posting 🙏🙏These are so helpful
Superb, crystal clear explanations. Truly the best I have seen. Thanks!!!!!!!

Thank you for your videos so clear and pedagogic for every one.
This best presentation I’ve seen !! This is amazing and I am so appreciative for this 🙏🏾💙
Thank you so much as this is a most informative video for both patient medical students, nurses and for general inquiry. It throughly explains the origin and dynamics of pain from
my supraspinatus tendon and I'm able to understand the manipulations performed on me by my physiotherapist. Thank you so much! God bless!🙏🙏👏👏👏👍
Thank you very much ! Your teaching diagrams and cartoons are always clear and very instructive. We all benefit greatly !
Các clip của thầy rất hay vì thầy đọc chậm rãi và quan trọng nhất là các hình ảnh phù hợp, rõ ràng cùng với những chú thích tiếng Anh bên cạnh. Nếu không nghe kịp thì nhờ những chú thích này mà người xem vẫn có thể hiểu được bài giảng. Cảm ơn thầy rất nhiều !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH PROFESSIONEL EXPLICATION -I LEARN TO DISCUSS WITH MY DR-ANS PHYSIOTEAMS - BRGRS EX-TENNIS PLAYER
This was very helpful! I am trying to figure out how to proceed after injuring my shoulder in a fall. I am still not sure what is damaged, and how great the damage is. PT has helped me recover some, but I may need a reverse total shoulder replacement. Your video also gives me some clues as to why I have pain in my scapula when I lean back against anything - even soft surfaces. Thank you very much.
Thank you for a very useful video :)
Tank
you for all.
I fractured my scapula. This video is helping me to understand the healing process.
very helpfull thank you sir
Alhamdulillah! Jazakumullah khayr doctor💐
Awesome....very clear..
Very good
Just well explaining videos.. !
Thank you!🌹❤️❤️
I have potentially got to get a full shoulder replacement in 3 weeks, i have two bones spur locations that have torn my supraspinatus tendon, my subscapularis tendon and anterior/posterior labrum degenerative tearing. So my doc told me they will try to avoid a full shoulder replacement once they get into my shoulder, but he said due to my age i will more than likely need the full replacement surgery. I really dont want the full replacement, i saw videos of that surgery and it looks brutal and recovery time will be much longer. Thx for the video it cleared a few more things up for me.
all good, thank you ...
Good video Thank you.
Thank you, very well explained.
