Prevalence and functional impact of shoulder soft tissue injuries in overhead athletes during in-season management
Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common shoulder injury in studied overhead competitive athletes. Functional limitations are most pronounced in athletes with RTC partial tears, and they are associated with RTC muscles' imbalance. Consideration of the study results can substantially help medical staff during in-season management of functional limitations associated with shoulder pain, as well as in the prevention of disorders caused by imbalance of the RTC muscles in overhead athletes.
