“…Patient-reported stroke specialty has also been shown to be associated with at-risk body region 14,29,34,48 : freestyle and backstroke specialties were most commonly associated with shoulder injury risk. Insufficient study number and population size in included studies related to patient-reported outcomes and limits the efficacy of these tools to assess risk of shoulder pain/injury in a predictive manner.…”

“…Three nonrandomized studies met the criteria for the LE, with the knee as the most commonly cited body region of LE pain/ injury. 32,34,44 The average MINORS quality score for relevant LE comparative studies was 15.6 of 24. The study populations included competitive age group, elite, and international swimmers.…”

“…32 A weak relationship exists between the presence of knee pain/ injury in elite swimmers and quadriceps/hamstrings strength asymmetry (knee flexion/extension ratio), defined as >10% difference between sides. 34 No formal cutoff values have been identified to stratify low, normal, and high values for knee agonist/ antagonist strength and endurance ratios in elite swimmers as they relate to knee pain/injury development. It has been hypothesized that stroke specialty may also affect these values.…”

Context: Evidence concerning a systematic, comprehensive injury risk assessment in the elite swimming population is scarce. Objective: To evaluate the quality of current literature regarding clinical assessment techniques used to evaluate the presence and/or development of pain/injury in elite swimmers and to categorize objective clinical assessment tools into relevant predictors (constructs) that should consistently be evaluated in injury risk screens of elite swimmers. Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, PEDro, and the Cochrane Library Reviews were searched through September 2018. Study Selection: Studies were included for review if they assessed a correlation between clinic-based objective measures and the presence and/or development of acute or chronic pain/injury in elite swimmers. All body regions were included. Elite swimmers were defined as National Collegiate Athletic Association, collegiate, and junior-, senior-, or national-level swimmers. Only cohort and cross-sectional studies were included (both prospective and retrospective); randomized controlled trials, expert opinion, and case reports were excluded, along with studies that focused on interventions, performance, or specific swim-stroke equipment or technology. Study Design: Systematic review and qualitative analysis. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Data Extraction: PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were utilized at each phase of review by 2 reviewers; a third reviewer was utilized for tie breaking purposes. Qualitative analysis was performed using the Methodological Items for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) assessment tool. Results: A total of 21 studies assessed the presence and/or development of injury/pain in 3 different body regions: upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. Calculated average MINORS scores for comparative (n = 17) and noncomparative (n = 4) studies were 18.1 of 24 and 10.5 of 16, respectively. Modifiable, objectively measurable injury risk factors in elite swimmers were categorized into 4 constructs: (1) strength/endurance, (2) mobility, (3) static/dynamic posture, and (4) patient-report regardless of body region. Conclusion: Limited evidence exists to draw specific correlations between identified clinical objective measures and the development of pain and/or injury in elite swimmers.
