| Abstract | Although golf is a popular sport amongst different age groups, it can result in injury, usually from overuse and from poor technique. The shoulder is a commonly affected site, with the lead shoulder (e.g., the left shoulder in the right-handed golfer) most vulnerable to injury. In our present study, we used ultrasound to analyze if a hyperlaxity of the lead shoulder was present. In total, 33 asymptomatic golf-players were investigated by questionnaire, clinical examination and static, as well as dynamic ultrasonography. Neither clinically nor through ultrasound hyperlaxity of the shoulder was found. However, in golfers with shoulder pain, hyperlaxity followed by secondary impingement should be considered as a possible cause. |
