Análise das lesões musculoesqueléticas de ombro em nadadores com proposta de estratégia preventiva fisioterapêutica

Abstract

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and, as a consequence, one of the most vulnerable. The prevalence of shoulder pain in swimmers it is pretty common, as the glenohumeral joint is highly demanded. Thus, this joint becomes overloaded and ends up going into dysfunction, developing specific pathologies that can directly impact the athlete's performance. With this study, our objective was to carry out a bibliographic review listing the main injuries that affect swimmers' shoulders and to evaluate the types of physiotherapeutic approaches indicated. The publications were searched in the databases Scielo, CAPES, Web of Science, PUBMED, LILACS and according to the inclusion criteria, five studies were selected that reported the pathology in swimmers and physiotherapy as a preventive method. With the review it was observed that the main involvement was tendinopathies, fatigue and dislocation and the most indicated physiotherapy among the selected works was warming up outside the water, strength and resistance training and with strengthening focused on the joint. With this, we suggest the elaboration of an intervention protocol to prevent and / or improve the function of the shoulder to decrease the distance of the athletes in their sports activities in swimming.
