Abstract
  • Seventy-six competitive swimmers from eight swimming teams were surveyed about swimmer's shoulder symptoms over the past year, then were placed into symptomatic levels: nonsymptomatic and symptomatic with the symptomatic sample divided into moderately and highly symptomatc levels. Swimmers were videotaped to evaluate maximum body roll and the simultaneous angle of the upper arm to the horizontal plane--lateral abduction of the shoulder. Elbow extension at mid-recovery was also measured. Measurements were taken during right and left breathing and nonbreathing cycles. Mean measurements for the components demonstrated numerous significant differences in the body roll and lateral abduction components. Few significant differences were found in elbow extension. The results indicate a relationship between mechanics and swimmer's shoulder.
