Rankininkių rankų ir kojų traumų paplitimas, pobūdis ir priežastys

Background. Highly skilled athletes do not avoid sports injuries. In order to reduce the prevalence of injuries among female elite handball players, it is necessary to determine the most often injured body parts and the causes of injuries. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, nature and causes of injuries in Lithuanian female elite handball players. Methods. Fifteen Lithuanian elite female handball players participated in the study. The age of the subjects was 20.4 ± 3.03 yrs. The subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire, answering questions about the prevalence, localization, frequency and nature of athletic injuries. Results. The subjects have training sessions six times a week, one workout lasts more than one hour. During the last season, 80% of the subjects suffered injuries (67% acute, 13% chronic). The most common injuries were ligament strain (46.2%) or tear (38.5%), less frequent ligament or muscle rapture (30.8%), and the least frequent– fracture (15.4%). In most cases players suffered from finger (26%), and knee (20%) and ankle (20%) injuries. Elbows (9%) and wrists (7%) were less likely to be traumatized. Head (2%) and hip (2%) injuries were uncommon in handball. Conclusion. The vast majority of elite female handball players experienced injuries during the sports season. The most prevalent hand injuries in female athletes were finger injuries and acute ankle or knee injuries in legs. Keywords: handball, females, injuries

Abstract This descriptive study was conducted on a group of 92 patients during January 2012 - December 2012, treated at the Sports Rehabilitation Department of NOVA VITA Medical Center, Tîrgu Mures. We investigated the incidence of muscle and joint injuries by age group, gender, region of the injured muscle and joint, type of sport. Football is the main sport practiced at a professional level, thus the leg is the most exposed body part to diseases at different levels and degrees, especially the ankle, knee and thigh with muscle damage and ligament injuries. Playing tennis at an amateur level can harm body parts like the shoulder and the elbow and can cause tendon and muscle injuries. The most affected region is the knee. Knee injuries are present in almost all sports. Nearly 40% of the injuries are ligament injuries.

Athlete Injury

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of sports injuries experienced by adolescent athletes between the ages of 13 and 18 on their quality of life during training and competition. The universe of the study consists of licensed athletes between the ages of 13-18 who play sports at the Manisa Youth and Sports Provincial Directorate. In the study, purposeful sampling method was chosen, and the study sample consisted of 170 athletes (97 females, 73 males) with sports injuries and 90 athletes (49 females, 41 males) without sports injuries, totally 260 volunteers. The demographic information form developed by the researchers, the Adolescent Form of the Quality of Life for Children (PedsQL) developed by Varni et al. (1999), the Adolescent Form of the Age of 13-18, and the Causes of Injury in Sports Questionnaire prepared by Alkaabi (2015) were used as data collection methods. As a result, it was found that female athletes had more sports injuries in adolescent athletes than men. The number of athletes who suffered injuries in defense sports is higher than in other branches. As a result, it has been determined that sports injury negatively affects the quality of life. It was found as a result of the study data that they experienced more injuries in training than in competitions. Since the injury is mostly in the winter season and the athletes stated that they did not use protective equipment during the injury, the trainers should be informed, they should be thoughtful about taking the necessary precautions and precautions and should be offered the necessary supervision.

Sports -related knee injuries are common in children and the management of these injuries continues to evolve. Sports injuries in children affect both growing bone and soft tissues and can result in damage of growth mechanisms with subsequent lifelong, growth disturbance. With an increasing number of paediatric and adolescent athletes presenting with knee injuries. due to sports, a greater demand is put on clinicians and radiologists to assess the specific type of knee injury. Traumatic forces applied to the immature skeleton cause a different type of injury than those seen in adults due to the differences in vulnerability of the musculoskeletal system, especially at the site of the growth cartilage. An overview of several sport-related knee injuries of young athletes are presented, based on anatomical location and their management. The training programmes should be considered an important training tool that growing athletes can adjust to the changes in their bodies and could prevent knee injuries.

IntroductionBasketball is a contact sport with complex movements that include jumps, turns and changes in direction, which cause frequent musculoskeletal injuries in all regions of the body.ObjectiveThis is an integrative systematic review of the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in basketball.MethodsThis is an integrative review based on the following sources of information: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, BBO-Biblioteca Brasileira de Odontologia, IBECS-Índice Bibliográfico Espanhol em Ciências da Saúde, nursing journals, dental journals and core clinical journals in the last 10 years with studies addressing the general epidemiology of sports injuries in basketball.ResultsIn total, 268 articles were selected, of which 11 were eligible for the integrative review. A total of 12 960 injuries were observed, most of which occurred in the lower limbs (63.7%), with 2832 (21.9%) ankle injuries and 2305 (17.8%) knee injuries. Injuries in the upper limbs represented 12%–14% of the total injuries. Children and adolescents received head injuries more often compared with the other age and skill categories. In the adult category, there was an increased prevalence of injuries in the trunk and spine. In the upper limbs, hands, fingers and wrists were affected more frequently than the shoulders, arms and forearms. In the masters’ category, there was an increase in the incidence of thigh injuries.ConclusionThe lower limbs were the most affected, with the ankle and knee joints having the highest prevalence of injuries regardless of gender and category. Further randomised studies, increased surveillance and epidemiological data collection are necessary to improve knowledge on sports injuries in basketball and to validate the effectiveness of preventive interventions.

Single Leg Squat

Kinematic differences have been linked to the gender discrepancies seen in knee injuries. A medially posted orthotic decreases frontal and transverse plane motions in the lower extremity during ambulation, squatting and landing. This study investigated the effect of a medial post on amount and timing of lower extremity motions during a single-leg squat in male and female athletes. We hypothesized there would be differences in these kinematic variables dependent upon sex and post conditions. Twenty male and female athletes performed single-leg squats with and without a five degree full-length medial post. Maximum joint angles were analyzed using a two-way, repeated-measures analysis of variance to determine if the differences created by post condition were statistically significant, whether there were gender differences, or interactions. Differences in maximum motion values and the time at which they occurred were found between men and women at the hip, knee and ankle. The post decreased all frontal plane measures in both sexes and resulted in earlier attainment of maximum ankle eversion and delayed maximum knee valgus. A medially posted orthotic may be beneficial not only in limiting motion, but in affecting the time in which stressful motions occur.

Abstract Background: Hand injuries are common in sports and associated with high dropout rates and costs. Hence, efforts should strive for further risk prevention measures in order to increase safety in sports. This implies knowledge of sports injury risk profiles. So far, major surveillance programs exist mainly in Anglo-American countries, reflecting the specific concerns of sports in this part of the world. Data on sports injuries within Europe are scarce. As sports behaviour appears to vary demographically, we hypothesised that risk injury profiles differ as well. Methods: To assess, whether the described sports injuries of the hand are applicable to the German population, we performed a five-year retrospective, single-centre analysis of sports-related hand injuries, using the data of the Enterprise Clinical Research Warehouse of the Hannover Medical School.Results: Notable differences in comparison to other data were observed. Ball sports, cycling and equestrian sports caused most of the recorded hand injuries, which were predominantly fractures of the wrist and hand. Hand injuries in equestrian sports were associated with significantly higher operation and hospitalisation rates as well as a significantly longer inpatient treatment. Conclusion: Risk profiles for sports-related hand injuries appear to differ not only age- and sex-dependent, but also geographically. National as well as European hand trauma registries as well as a broad registry participation are necessary in order to accurately assess these risk patterns in Europe and hence reduce hand injuries and the sequelae.

Sports injuries are one of the most common injuries in modern society. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is commonly injured in sports. Soccer is one of many sports where an ACL injury is likely to occur, due to inherent jumping and pivoting during participation. Abnormal movement patterns have been suggested as a risk factor for knee injuries, which lead to the development of the step-down test. The Single Leg Hop for Distance test is used to assess functional performance in individuals with an ACL injury or reconstruction. The purpose of the current study was to determine if there are differences in hop test distances according to scores on the step-down test. A second purpose is to determine the relationship between hop test distances and height. Sixty-one males and sixty-one females between 15 and 16 years who participated in a club soccer program participated in the study. The Hop test and the step-down test were administered to the subjects. Mean hop distance for males was 172.89 cm (SD = 18.27) and the mean hop distance for females was 146.88 cm (SD = 14.63). For both males and females, there were no differences in hop distances between the left and right lower extremity (LE). There were no differences in hop distances according to classification of the step-down test for males. Females classified as good by the step-down test hopped farther than females classified as poor. There were no relationships between distances in the hop test and height in females (r = .23 for the left LE; .21 for the right LE). There was a low relationship between distances in the hop test and height in males (r = .46 for the left LE; .39 for the right LE). Clinicians may utilize this information for goal setting and objective testing during rehabilitation.
