Innenrotatoren

Innenrotatoren refers to a group of muscles in the shoulder that are responsible for internal rotation of the arm. These muscles work together to bring the arm across the body. The primary muscles consideredInnenrotatoren are the subscapularis, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and teres major. The subscapularis is located on the anterior surface of the scapula, while the other muscles are situated on the chest and back.

The function of the Innenrotatoren is crucial for a wide range of movements, including throwing, swimming, and reaching. They play a significant role in stabilizing the shoulder joint during these activities. Weakness or imbalance in the Innenrotatoren can contribute to shoulder pain, impingement, and instability. Therefore, strengthening and conditioning these muscles is often a component of rehabilitation programs for shoulder injuries and is important for athletes involved in overhead sports. Exercises targeting the Innenrotatoren typically involve resistance bands or weights to simulate the motion of bringing the arm inward. Proper form and controlled movements are essential to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness.
