Common Risk Factors
In addition to the above causes, there are some common risk factors for developing a rotator cuff injury. The condition is more common in older people, often over 60 years old. This is because muscles and tendons become wear and tear over time. Those people who work in construction sites are also at higher risks. These include house painters, carpenters, or construction workers. Their tasks involve repetitive arm motions, which can damage their rotator cuff muscles. [8]
