   • Swimmer’s Shoulder
     • Causes
       • Farther narrowing of subacromial space when arm is raised leads to tendon impingement and causes an inflammatory response
       • bony spurs
       • thickening or calcification of coraco- acromial ligament
       • loss of function of rotator cuff muscles
       • inflammation and thickening of subacromial bursa
     • Signs and symptoms
       • Sudden onset --- tear
       • - tear Gradually increases
       • Weakness
       • Painful arc of movement during forward elevation of arm from 60 to 120 degrees
       • Popping sensation during shoulder movement
     • Prevention
       • Swim with the current technique Do not overtrain or train with tired muscles Avoid sudden increases in amount/intensity of swim workouts Void overuse of swim paddles
