When it happens for no apparent reason, the rupture is called nontraumatic. Aging adults with rotator cuff tears also commonly have a biceps tendon rupture. When the rotator cuff is torn, the ball of the humerus is free to move too far up and forward in the shoulder socket and can ...

compared with 56% for swimmers without pain and 68% for nonswimmers. Apparently, once the imbalance of the external rotation to internal rotation endurance falls below 50%, the swimmer no longer has sufficient external rotation muscular endurance to maintain the correct stroke mechanics in the recov...
