The supraspinatus muscle is one of the musculotendinous support structures called the rotator cuff that surround and enclose the shoulder. It helps to resist the inferior gravitational forces placed across the shoulder joint due to the downward pull from the weight of the upper limb.
The most common tendon torn in the rotator cuff is the supraspinatus tendon. A complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon will limit your ability to lift your arm at your side (abduct). To discuss your particular situation and how our products can help, call toll-free at 1-866-237-9608.
