Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) in young and asymptomatic elite swimmers

CONCLUSIONS: GIRD is a relatively common condition in asymptomatic elite youth swimmers; In order to not overestimate this condition, anatomical and pure GIRD have to be distinguished. While they play a role, the respiratory side, dominant limb, and crawl did not have a significant impact when facing an elite swimmer with GIRD.PMID:38069829 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0263.23
