SWIMMERS SHOULDER

SWIMMERS SHOULDER

Swimmer's shoulder is a musculoskeletal condition that results in symptoms in the area of the anterior lateral aspect of the shoulder, sometimes confined to the subacromial region. 

Swimmer's shoulder usually presents as subacromial impingement involving the rotator cuff tendon, bicipital tendon, or subacromial bursa. Primary subacromial impingement involves compression of these structures between the acromion and greater tuberosity. The cause of primary impingement is usually a tight posterior capsule.
