Injuries and risks while lifeguarding
Published in Mike Tipton, Adam Wooler, The Science of Beach Lifeguarding, 2018

There are obviously many sports that have their associated injuries – swimming, paddling, surf skiing and rowing all have overuse injuries similar to lifeguarding. One study based in Honolulu, Hawaii, showed that the shoulder, after the foot, is the second most injured body part for lifeguards [18]. Training in several of these upper body sports is not cross-training (giving some muscles a rest) because they involve many of the same muscles and joints. As a result, this can actually compound injuries [59]. Lifeguards often suffer shoulder impingement syndrome, which is an inflammation of the rotator cuff. Beach lifeguards can also have higher rates of shoulder injuries from the additional effort of battling waves and currents while managing the additional weight of a victim. Proper adjunctive muscle strengthening programs can help to prevent these injuries. The use of fins can also mediate these risks by decreasing the amount of work required by the upper body during rescues [42].

Shoulder impingement syndrome (1), also called painful arc syndrome. This occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become irritated and inflamed as they pass under the coracoacromial arch resulting in pain, weakness and reduced range of movement at the shoulder (1)

Clinical Relevance: Supraclavicular or other nerve entrapment, whether by fibrous bands, muscles, or tendons.6 Painful musculoskeletal conditions lead to central sensitization; this includes patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.7

Previous researches merely discovered an association between CSS and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Gwilym et al. (2011) [10] studied 17 patients with unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome and 17 age- and gender-matched controls in 2011. They confirmed the presence of CSS in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome, and preoperative CSS is associated with poorer 3-month surgical results following subacromial decompression. Similarly, King et al. (2022) [31] compared unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome patients to controls. They found the presence of peripheral sensitization for all patients, and both peripheral and CSS for female patients. Plinsinga et al. (2015) [8] performed a systematic review to determine whether CSS exists in those who have persistent rotator cuff, lateral elbow, and patellar tendinopathies. With 16 studies (4 shoulder impingement syndrome, 10 lateral epicondyle tendinopathy, and 2 patellar tendinopathy) included, they concluded that there is an association between persistent tendon pain and CSS. Another systematic review by Noten et al. (2017) [13] also concluded that musculoskeletal shoulder pain might be closely connected with the central nervous system. A recent cross-sectional study focused on the prevalence of CSS in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain problems [29]. They found CSS in 37.8% of patients with low back pain, 32.4% with neck pain, 13.5% with upper back pain, 8.1% with knee pain, and 2.1% with shoulder pain. However, they only included 22 shoulder pain patients without a confirmed diagnosis. Therefore, research on the relationship between CSS and RCT is still absent.

This review will consider studies on adults, aged 18 years and above, diagnosed clinically or radiologically with unilateral RCRSP. The diagnosis will include the labels of shoulder impingement syndrome, subacromial impingement syndrome, subacromial pain syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, or partial thickness tear of the rotator cuff tendons. No limit will be applied for the duration of shoulder pain (acute, subacute, or chronic). Studies involving all other diagnoses of shoulder pain arising due to conditions such as adhesive capsulitis, shoulder instabilities, labral lesions, shoulder pain of spinal origin, and arthritis will be excluded. In addition, studies that included a known lesion, injury, or disease of the somatosensory nervous system diagnosed by neurophysiological tests, imaging, or laboratory tests will be excluded.
Does taping in addition to physiotherapy improve the outcomes in subacromial impingement syndrome? A systematic review

Among the musculoskeletal issues that are most common, shoulder pain is widespread, and is recognized as the second most prevalent form of musculoskeletal pain, with low back pain the only ailment identified more commonly (Faber et al., 2006; Michener, Walsworth, and Burnet, 2004). Shoulder impingement syndrome or subacromial impingement syndrome, is characterized by pain and functional restrictions, mostly during overhead activities (Michener, McClure, and Karduna, 2003). There are several different treatments for shoulder impingement syndrome and it is agreed that conservative measures such as rehabilitation and physiotherapy programs should be the first intervention for such an ailment (Bang and Deyle, 2000; Faber et al., 2006).
