About this study
Official title: Prevalence of Subacromial Impingement Among Egyptian Swimmers a Cross Sectional Survey Study.
In the available literature, there are no prevalence studies that show the incidence of subacromial impingement in swimmers in Egypt, this should be considered as it's one of the most commonly reported injuries worldwide in swimmers. There are also no available studies to show the difference in incidence of subacromial impingement between both genders in Egypt. This study is attempting to remedy both research deficits and to reduce the literature gap and to show the prevalence rate of this injury among Egyptian swimmers in different age groups, to help prevent its widespread and to provide data for further investigations. This study would give the Egyptian swimming federation and the Ministry of youth and sports a clear idea about the prevalence rate of swimmer's shoulder at different ages in Egyptian swimmers. Most importantly, this study is to provide the physiotherapy community in Egypt data about this injury, the rate of prevalence and how to prevent it and hopefully would help in further future studies and also to apply it in different countries.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
External / lnternal rotation ratio
Measured by Handheld dynamometer
Measured: 1 day
Lift-off test
This test is performed in a standing position, with the examiner observing and testing from standing behind the patient. To perform this test, the patient is asked to place the back of the affected arm (dorsum of the hand) in the mid lumbar spine area. The testing movement involves the patient performing internal rotation (IR), by lifting the hand off the back while the examiner places pressure on the hand. The test is considered to be positive if the patient cannot resist, lift the hand off the back or if she/he compensates by extending the elbow and shoulder.
Measured: 1 day
Neers test
Neer's sign In standing the patient's arm was passively elevated in the plane of the scapula while preventing rotation of the scapula. Reproduction of pain at the anterior edge of the acromion/lateral deltoid was considered a positive response for impingement.
Measured: 1 day
Hawkins and kennedy test
Hawkins and Kennedy test while sitting, with the elbow flexed to 90, the patient's shoulder was passively elevated to 90 in the sagittal plane and then forcefully rotated medially. Pain indicated a positive test result.
Measured: 1 day
Modified QuickDASH questionarre result
The QuickDASH is scored in two components: the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5) and the optional high performance sport/music or work modules (4 items, scored 1-5) .For Example in the disability / symptoms sections , at least 10 of the 11 items must be completed for a score to be calculated.
The assigned values for all completed responses are simply summed and averaged, producing a score out of five.This value is then transformed to a score out of 100 by subtracting one and multiplying by 25 , measures scaled on a 0-100 scale. A higher score indicates greater disability.
Measured: 1 day
