Not Applicable

• Conditions: Injury Prevention
• Interventions: Other: Proprioceptive Intervention

• Registration Number: NCT02654275
• Lead Sponsor: Hillel Yaffe Medical Center

Brief Summary

Many children and adolescents who engage in swimming complain of shoulder pain during or after exercise.
