1. rotator cuff

   The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in the shoulder joint that connect the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). These include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis muscles. The rotator cuff allows the arm to move and rotate, while also helping to stabilize the shoulder joint. It can be injured by strain, wear and tear, or trauma, leading to pain and decreased function.
