“…Therefore, in addition, there is a need for more functional testing. These tests may be divided into laboratory measures such as 3-D kinematic analysis [9] or stabilometric tests [23,24] and field measures. In view of the applicability in the clinical setting, although stabilometric tests may be useful in detecting proprioceptive and neuromuscular disorders, here we discuss only the field measurement tools.…”

“…In competitive swimming, the incidence of shoulder pain is reported to be between 38%‐91% 1,5,6 . Potential risk factors for the high incidence of shoulder pain have included including, extrinsic (competitive level, swimming experience, training distance/volume/intensity, and swimming training equipment) and intrinsic factors (glenohumeral instability, abnormal range of motion, strength imbalance of rotator cuff muscles, and scapular dyskinesis) 7 …”

Objectives To assess if swimming practice results in changes in supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance, and occupational ratio in shoulders of elite swimmers with and without a history of shoulder pain. Design Case‐Control study. Methods A convenience sample of fifty elite swimmers (14‐22 years) were recruited for this study. Groups were defined by the presence (history of pain, N = 37) or absence (pain free, N = 63) of significant interfering shoulder pain within the previous 6 months. The current study analyzed supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance, and the occupational ratio, through the use of ultrasound. Measures were taken prior to swim practice; immediately after practice; and 6 hours post‐practice. Results No statistically significant difference in supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance or ratio between shoulders with and without a history of pain were found at rest. Following a swimming practice, both shoulders with and without a history of pain had a significant increase in tendon thickness (0.27 & 0.17 mm; P ≤ .001 & <.001). The increase in thickness was significantly greater in the history of pain shoulders compared to pain‐free shoulders (P = .003). At 6‐hour post‐practice, the history of pain shoulders was still significantly thicker than their pre‐practice (rested) levels (P = .007). Despite changes in tendon thickness, the occupational ratio remained non‐significant between groups. Conclusion Shoulders with a history of pain show an altered response to swimming practice. The results of the current study have implications for training load and injury management. It should prompt investigation into how the tendon reacts under varying load conditions.

“…Findings regarding gender differences were inconsistent. Whereas most studies found GJH was more prevalent in girls [ 16 , 30 , 54 , 56 , 61 , 103 , 119 ], in others it was just a trend [ 41 , 52 , 99 , 105 , 117 ]. One study found a higher prevalence in boys [ 118 ] and one study found a higher prevalence in boys aged 6–10, while prevalence was higher in girls aged 11–15 and overall [ 108 ], and two studies found no gender differences [ 25 , 94 ].…”

General Joint Hypermobility (GJH) is a common condition found in 2–57% of the population. Of those with GJH, 10% suffer from accompanying physical and/or psychological symptoms. While the understanding of GJH in the general population is unfolding, its implication in a cohort of children, adolescents and young adults are not yet understood. This systematic review explored GJH’s prevalence, tools to measure it, its physical and psychosocial symptoms, with a special interest in aesthetic sports. The CINHAL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus and Scopus databases were searched for relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were (1) Age range of 5–24; (2) Participants had GJH; (3) A measurement for GJH; (4) Studies written in English language. Study screening for title, abstract and full text (when needed) and quality assessment were performed by two independent individuals. 107 studies were included in this review and were thematically grouped into six clusters expressing different foci: (1) GJH’s Core Characteristics; (2) Orthopedic; (3) Physical Other; (4) Psychosocial; (5) Treatment and (6) Aesthetic Sports. The review revealed a growing interest in GJH in this cohort in the last decade, especially regarding non-musculoskeletal physical implications and psychosocial aspects. Prevalence varied between different ethnic groups and as a parameter of age, gender and measurement. The most widespread tool to measure GJH was the Beighton scale, with a cut-off varying between 4 and 7. Children show fewer, but similar GJH implication to those in the general population, however, more research on the topic is warranted, especially regarding psychosocial aspects and treatment.
