Document Summary

Glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, scapulothoracic joint. Some athletes are at a greater risk for shoulder injuries: baseball, swimming, gymnastics shoulder. Any sport that requires repetitive overhead movement causes micro-trauma within the muscles in the the soft-tissue stabilizers feel the greatest stress during throwing motion and are, the most frequently injured structures when this stress is applied repetitively. Swimmers shoulder: a common painful syndrome of repeated shoulder impingement in swimmers. Shoulder pain/injury is the most common musculoskeletal problem experienced by competitive swimmers. Exception to injury: breast stoke- not overhead movement. As you increase the distance swam there is a higher risk of injury. Inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon: not about repetition like swimming, more about stress o, rotator cuff injuries, anterior to posterior tear, occurs during any gymnastic exercise but can be seen most in ring and bar specialists. Slap teat/lesion is an injury to the glenoid labrum.
