Member May 2025: Evaluation and Management of Swimmer's Shoulder (1.25 CME) (On Demand)-Session Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video transcript, the session focuses on the evaluation, management, and rehabilitation of swimmer's shoulder. Various experts, including Dr. Ryan Nussbaum, Dr. Shelby Johnson, Dr. Brian Krabeck, Dr. Adam Lovenow, and Dr. Matt Sherrier, participate in the session, each bringing unique expertise to the topic. They discuss several key areas, including the epidemiology of swimming injuries, understanding swimming biomechanics, the role of the kinetic chain, how to conduct effective evaluations, and rehabilitative strategies for swimmers experiencing shoulder pain.<br /><br />Dr. Sherrier provides an overview of the sport, detailing the rigorous training regimes swimmers undergo, and the high incidence of shoulder injuries. Dr. Krabeck highlights the biomechanics involved in swimming, emphasizing how swimmers' bodies interact with water, which is significantly denser than air. He covers important topics like the kinetic chain and different phases of swimming. Dr. Johnson explores the evaluation aspect, suggesting that understanding swimmers' strokes through video analysis is crucial. She highlights the importance of looking beyond imaging when diagnosing these athletes. Dr. Lovenow discusses rehabilitation strategies, emphasizing understanding and mimicking water dynamics, core stabilization, and movement patterns.<br /><br />The session also underscores the importance of collaboration between physicians, coaches, and therapists to ensure effective management and recovery strategies for swimmers. Questions from participants are addressed, providing additional insights into practical aspects of dealing with swimmer's shoulder, such as filming techniques and working collaboratively with coaches. Overall, the session provides valuable insights into managing swimmer's shoulder through a well-rounded understanding of the sport and collaborative care approaches.
