“…Biomechanical features of many sports have been investigated and findings indicate that both professional and recreational athletes who participate in contact sports (e.g. ice hockey) and in sports that involve repetitive overhead actions such as golf, swimming, and javelin, are at increased risk of rotator cuff tears [57,58], acromioclavicular joint dysfunction [59], and impingement syndrome [60].…”

Shoulder pain is very common and causes substantial morbidity. Standardised classification systems based upon presumed patho-anatomical origins have proved poorly reproducible and hampered epidemiological research. Despite this, there is evidence that exposure to combinations of physical workplace strains such as overhead working, heavy lifting and forceful work as well as working in an awkward posture increase the risk of shoulder disorders. Psychosocial risk factors are also associated. There is currently little evidence to suggest that either primary prevention or treatment strategies in the workplace are very effective and more research is required, particularly around the cost-effectiveness of different strategies. KeywordsShoulder pain; impingement syndrome; frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis); rotator cuff Introduction and ScopeAccording to population surveys, shoulder pain affects 18-26% of adults at any point in time [1][2][3][4], making it one of the most common regional pain syndromes. Symptoms can be persistent and disabling in terms of an individual's ability to carry out daily activities both at home and in the workplace [5,6]. There are also substantial economic costs involved, with increased demands on health care, impaired work performance, substantial sickness absence, and early retirement or job loss [7][8][9][10].The shoulder has evolved to withstand heavy physical demands and to do so over an unusually wide range of motion. To achieve this, it is not a simple 'ball and socket' joint but rather a complex composed of four articulations and a supporting arrangement of bones, muscles and ligaments within and outside of the joint capsule. However, its complexity and the nature of the demands on it make it susceptible to a range of articular and peri-articular

“…Síla generována od dolních končetin se přenáší přes trup na horní končetinu až k balonu. Během hodu jde v podstatě o stabilizaci těla zajištěnou aktivitou mezi zadním a předním funkčním řetězcem (Meister, 2017;Myers, 2009;Jancosco & Kazanjian, 2015;Chu, Jayabalan, Kibler, & Press, 2016). Dle Véleho (2006) nadměrné přetěžování vede nejen k bolestivosti, ale dochází i ke vzniku či prohloubení svalových dysbalancí, což má za následek změny pohybových programů, následně i změny pohybových stereotypů a v neposlední řadě i zhoršení ekonomického provedení pohybu.…”

Painful conditions of the shoulder joint of handball players are a frequent cause of the end of a player's career. The shoulder joint is extremely susceptible to damage during early sports specialization. The cause is greater variability of movement together with repeated unilateral stain during the throw. The aim of the study is to monitor the functional changes of the shoulder girdle of handball player in particular age groups. The examination was performed by a comprehensive kinesiological analysis with an effort for differential diagnostics to find the so-called key area. In addition, selected orthopeadic tests for the shoulder girdle area were used, followed by testing in closed kinematic chains. In a group of handball players aged 12 to 15 years, defective posture was found with a typical throwing posture with hypermobility. In the group of players aged 16 to 19, the functional changes of the throwing position were highlighted. Handball players over the age of 20 showed a significant reduction in the internal rotation of the cast upper limb associated with an increase in the external rotation of the same limb.

“…Scapular dyskinesia usually occurs due to muscle imbalance of the scapular stabilizers. If the scapular stabilizers do not work properly, the movements of the scapula will also be affected, and this problem will cause more stress on the shoulder joint capsule and cause injury (3). The position of the scapula determines the position of the glenoid fossa and the head of the humerus relative to the acromion.…”

Background Repetitive movement patterns and continuous use of the upper limb in volleyball cause scapular movement disorders. The aim of the present study was to compare upper body posture, shoulder range of motion of volleyball players with and without scapular dyskinesia. Methods 50 volleyball players (25 volleyball players with scapular dyskinesia and 25 healthy volleyball players) were selected in a targeted manner from volleyball clubs in Urmia city. Head and shoulder posture were evaluated using photography. The thoracic spine was assessed by a flexible ruler; internal and external rotation of the shoulder using a goniometer. In order to compare the means of the two groups, independent t-test was used. Results The results showed a significant difference in forward head (P = 0.047), forward shoulder (P = 0.007) and thoracic spine posture (P = 0.037), and shoulder external rotation (P = 0.001) between healthy volleyball players and volleyball players with scapular dyskinesia. However, there was no significant difference in internal rotation of the shoulder (P = 0.148) between the two groups. Conclusion shoulder girdle posture of volleyball players with scapular dyskinesia seems to be poorer than that of volleyball players without scapular dyskinesia. Players with scapular dyskinesia had limited external rotation range compared to the healthy group. This issue may be affected by the position of the shoulder, which itself can be caused by a poor posture.
