Brief Summary

It has been shown that 90% of swimmers experience shoulder pain at some point in their career. During the macrocycle, swimmers present significant alterations in the muscular balance between external and internal rotators of the shoulder: the IR assumes much prominence in strength levels and RE goes progressively weaker. furthermore, all overhead athletes (such as swimmers) present a glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit and an increase in External Rotation. The objective of this study is to propose an exercise with an elastic band aimed to strengthening the RE of the shoulder to analyze the effects on the muscular balance between IR and RE. In addition, the effect caused in the limitation of internal rotation is going to be studied

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• change in ROM external rotation of the shoulder in degrees

  Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

• change in ROM internal rotation of the shoulder in degrees

  Range of motion in internal rotation of the shoulder in 90º of abduction measured with goniometry in degrees

  Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

• change in external rotation isometric strength of the shoulder in newton

  isometric strength in external rotation of the shoulder measured with pressure dynamometer in newton

  Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

• change in internal rotation isometric strength of the shoulder in newton

  isometric strength in internal rotation of the shoulder measured with pressure dynamometer in newton

  Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

• change in scapular displacement in maximum flexion in centimeters

  horizontal distance covered by the inferior angle of the scapula measured with PALM in centimeters

  Change from Baseline at 8 weeks
