1 Beyond Rehab and Return to Play: Swimming None Relevant Disclosures Jake R. Foley, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS Hugo Klaers, PT, DPT, OCS IAM Highland Park IAM Edina July 7, 2017 Allina Health Sports Medicine Conference Objectives 1. Describe the normal biomechanics and muscle activity of the shoulder girdle during the freestyle stroke. 2. Understand relevant features of upper extremity functional testing as it pertains to the swimmer. 3. Apply the aforementioned concepts to the rehabilitation of the swimmer s shoulder in order to maximize return to sport potential.

Reported injury rates: : 3.78 injuries per 1000 exposures Year round swimmers: 6,000 10,000m per day (Competitive swimmers >14,000m per day) Many swim 5 7 days per week May swim 2x/day, up to 3x/week 60,000 80,000 m swimming per week strokes per 25 m 30,000 rotations per shoulder per week : 4.0 injuries per 1000 exposures Shoulder pain: 40 91% Questions > Answers Laxity? Increased vs. decreased ROM? Females vs. Males Swimming Form? What is swimmer s shoulder? 1 Stroke Generalizations 1978: Anterior shoulder pain during and after workouts More recently: constellation of symptoms, not one specific diagnosis Freestyle Butterfly Backstroke Breaststroke Post-workout muscle soreness GHJ instability Tendinopathy Labral tear Majority of training, even if a specialist Need to normalize mechanics Similar to freestyle; arms utilized synchronously Similar entry to freestyle but supine Resembles initial pull of a butterfly stroke Longer recovery than freestyle **Full disclosure, we are neither competitive swimmers nor swim coaches** AllinaHealthSystem 2

13 Swimming Soreness Rules 24,25 Patient Report Pain during warm up that does not go away (or pain that goes away and redevelops during session) Pain during warm up that goes away within m Pain after lifting or dryland No soreness. Action Take 2 days off, drop 1 level (reduce 300 m or stay at lowest level for full week) Remain at level that led to soreness Take 1 day off Do not advance to next level Advance 1 level per week ( m per day) Closing Thoughts 1. Serratus Anterior and Subscapularis consistently fire > 20% MVIC 2. Evaluate and train the rotator cuff individually 3. Control of upward rotation = essential 4. Test, don t guess 5. Return to pool = progressive, systematic Adhere to the swimming soreness rules 6.
