1. Anatomy of Golf – Shoulder  Gleno-humeral Joint  Primary movers (pec, delt, lats)  Stabilizers / RTC mm’s  Motions include:  Flexion – Extension  ABDuction – ADDuction  Horizontal ABD – ADD  External – Internal Rotation  Circumduction

2. Shoulder Motion Hor Add: 130 degrees (lead) ER: 100 degrees (back) IR: 70 degrees Causes if limited -Steep swing -Elbow breakdown -Lateral slide -Improper grip

5. Maximum Velocity During Swing (Degrees Per Second) PGALPGA PGALPGA Hip turn 451 536 Shoulder turn 713 692 Arm velocity 1151 1082 Club velocity 2102 1688

6. So, so let’s dance

7. Shoulder Injuries: Factors Lack of ROM/flexibility –External rotation, horizontal adduction Thoracic posture Strength of Rotator Cuff Arthritic conditions Joint integrity hypo/hypermobility Swings too hard

8. Most Common Golfing Injuries Shoulder  Rotator Cuff Tendinitis - irritation/ inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons in shoulder  Rotator Cuff Strain/Tear - muscle or tendon in shoulder

9. Most Common Golfing Injuries Shoulder subluxation Shoulder dislocation DJD AC jount Labral tears
