The four muscles of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis form a musculo-ligamentous girdle called the rotator cuff.

The anterior deltoid also works in tandem with the subscapularis, pecs and lats to internally ( medially ) rotate the humerus.

Kerry tore his subscapularis tendon, one of the tendons that make up the rotator cuff, in January while campaigning in Iowa.

The ridges give attachment to the tendinous insertions, and the surfaces between them to the fleshy fibers, of the subscapularis muscle.

But the subscapularis is a less common spot, and he acknowledged that he won't know the extent of the tear until Wednesday.

Active exercises include the Pendulum exercise ( as shown in Image 2 ), which is used to strengthen the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Subscapularis.
17.
The fourth muscle of the rotator cuff ( the subscapularis ) does not attach to the greater tubercle, but instead attaches to the lesser tubercle.

These exercises are used to increase stability, strength and range of motion of the Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Teres minor muscles within the rotator cuff.
19.
Since the long biceps tendon absents itself from the shoulder joint through the rotator cuff interval it is easily possible to distinguish between the supraspinatus and the subscapularis tendon.

Late last January, Kerry grabbed a railing on a campaign bus when the vehicle lurched, tearing a biceps tendon and subscapularis muscle in the previously injured right shoulder.
