Rotator Cuff Muscles...A Correction

Erratum: In our previous blog on rotator cuff muscles, we stated that Latissimus Dorsi was the "agonist" to Supraspinitus. Actually, it is Latissimus Dorsi is its antagonist and not its agonist. We regret this error.

Rotator Cuff Muscles

The rotator cuff muscles are four: Supraspinitus, Infraspinitus, Teres Minor, and subscapularis. The agonist for Supraspinitus is Latissimus Dorsi. The Antagonist for both Infraspinatus and Teres Minor is Subscapularis. Subscapularis in turn has Teres Minor and Infraspinitus as its antagonists.
