Rotator Cuff Syndrome - Injury to the affected shoulder Factor

For rotator cuff syndrome, an injury to the affected shoulder means an injury to the shoulder region that causes the development, within the 24 hours of the injury being sustained, of pain, tenderness and altered mobility or range of movement of the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the junction of the arm and trunk; also that part of the trunk which is bounded at the back by the scapula (shoulder blade).
