Tiivistelmä
Shoulder injuries are one of the most common injuries in volleyball athletes. Spiking and serving are the quickest motions in volleyball, generating significant rotational and compressive forces in the shoulder. Due to the high loads, repetitive movements and athlete-specific factors, volleyball players are more prone to shoulder injuries. Injury prevention through targeted condition not only reduces health and profession impact but also decreases the cost on both athletes and their sport. To apply the effective preventative approaches, a physiotherapist must understand the volleyball biomechanics, shoulder biomechanics, and the knowledge of the injury risks and identification of them.
The aim of this thesis is to improve the knowledge of physiotherapy students and having a workshop on common shoulder injuries, associated risks, and preventative approaches in volleyball. By following a narrative methodology, the findings of the current literature were used to enhance learning material for musculoskeletal physiotherapy at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. This material includes biomechanics, injury risk, injury prevention, and common shoulder injuries in volleyball and overhead sports. The physiotherapy material was piloted as a workshop for physiotherapy students. Shoulder injury prevention in volleyball is restricted by the lack of high-quality, long-term research involving large groups of attendance. Despite of the limitation, the study material provided in this thesis is based on widely accepted recommendation in current literature on injury risk factors.
