Summary
A new prevention program for youth overhead athletes in Singapore was developed, achieving expert consensus and demonstrating feasibility among young volleyball players. This program addresses shoulder overuse injuries in competitive youth sports.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Injury Prevention
- Youth Athletics
Background:
- Overuse shoulder injuries are prevalent in competitive overhead youth athletes.
- Targeted prevention programs are needed to mitigate these injuries in young athletes.
- The Singaporean context requires a localized approach to youth sports injury prevention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop the Singapore Youth Shoulder Overuse Injury Prevention Program.
- To specifically address competitive overhead youth athletes in Singapore.
- To create a comprehensive program including exercise and education components.
Main Methods:
- A two-round online Delphi technique was employed with subject matter experts.
- A feasibility assessment questionnaire was administered to youth athletes (end-users).
- Consensus was defined as 75% agreement on program components.
Main Results:
- Consensus was achieved among 18 experts for the exercise and education programs.
- The developed program components received a 100% expert response rate.
- Twelve youth athletes confirmed the program's feasibility, noting usefulness, practicality, and ease of execution.
Conclusions:
- The Singapore Youth Shoulder Overuse Injury Prevention Program was successfully developed with expert consensus.
- The program's feasibility for execution by end-users was validated.
- This initiative provides a foundation for reducing shoulder overuse injuries in Singaporean youth athletes.

01:23Muscles of the Shoulder
3.8K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
