Abstract des Autors
Swimming has a distinct profile of injuries and medical conditions. Common problems seen among swimmers include "swimmer's shoulder", an overuse injury that causes inflammation of the supraspinatus and/or the biceps tendon; overuse injuries of the elbow, knee, ankle, and back; medical conditions such as asthma, folliculitis and otitis externa; and problems associated with overtraining. Swimmers are more likely to comply with treatment plans that minimize time spent out of the water. Prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries often focus on proper stroke mechanics.
