Prevalence of shoulder injuries and disability in competitive swimmers
Authors

Abstract

Swimming is a special activity that combines aerobic training with upper and lower limb strength workouts in a non-weightbearing setting.

In competition swimming, the freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke are the four recognized strokes. Movements of the human shoulder represent a complex dynamic relationship of many muscle forces, ligament constraints, and bony articulations. Static and dynamic stabilizers allow the shoulder the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body and position the hand and elbow in space. If any of the static or dynamic stabilizers are injured by trauma or overuse, the shoulder is at increased risk for injury. Shoulder injuries account for 8% to 20% of athletic injuries.
