“…A shoulder injury prevention program has already been investigated in a pilot study and should be further evaluated in future studies. 13 In the present study, 52% of the injuries were due to overuse, while during the 2012 London Paralympic games, acute traumatic injuries have been reported to be more prevalent (65%). 7 Therefore, both injury mechanisms (trauma and overuse) seem to be a problem in wheelchair basketball and should be addressed in injury prevention.…”

“…A shoulder injury prevention program focussing on flexibility and strength has been shown to improve shoulder rotational range of motion (ROM) in a pilot study on seven wheelchair basketball players. 13 Internal and external shoulder rotation ROM is considered to be a risk factor for shoulder pain and injury; however, its impact on prevention has not been investigated in wheelchair athletes. In addition, future injury prevention should try to influence the high numbers of muscle spasms by investigating their pathophysiology and etiology.…”

“…10,11 Shoulder pain has been retrospectively documented to be prevalent among around half of female players during a major tournament, 12 and prevention strategies for shoulder problems have already been implemented in a pilot study. 13 In summary, only little is known about injury rates and characteristics in wheelchair basketball. Since such information is the first of several steps needed to develop adequate injury prevention strategies, the aim of this study was to analyze the rate and characteristics of injuries during the Wheelchair Basketball World Championships 2018 (WBWC).…”

Several international sports federations have implemented a standardized injury reporting system during their championships. However, very few studies have investigated athletes with disabilities during major championships apart from the Paralympic Games. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the rate and characteristics of injuries during the Wheelchair Basketball World Championships 2018 (WBWC). This prospective cohort study was conducted during the WBWC held in Hamburg, Germany, from August 16 to August 26, 2018. Physicians or physiotherapists of all 28 participating teams (total 336 players) were asked to report all newly incurred injuries (with location, diagnosis, cause, and estimated duration of absence) daily on a standardized injury report form. Prevalence and incidence rates were calculated. Medical staff of 11 teams (132 players) reported 100 injuries, equivalent to 75.8 per 100 players (95% CI: 60.9‐90.7) or 68.9 per 1000 player‐days (55.4‐82.4). Eight time‐loss injuries were reported (6.1 injuries per 100 players [95% CI: 1.9‐10.3] or 5.5 injuries per 1000 player‐days [1.7‐9.3]). More injuries were incurred during matches (n = 68) than during training. Most injuries affected the neck/cervical spine (16%), thoracic spine/upper back (15%), and shoulder (14%). The most frequent diagnosis was muscle spasms (25%), the most frequent cause was overuse (52%). A high rate of non–time‐loss injuries compared to Paralympic Games was reported. Future studies should focus on the etiology of muscle spasms and further identify injury mechanisms of traumatic and overuse injuries in wheelchair basketball players to develop adequate preventive measures.

“…There are many researches about shoulder interventions depending of the type of injury and the condition of the athlete for the physiotherapist to determine which protocol and the appropriate exercise. In this population, only one study (Wilroy & Hibberd, 2017) (Figoni, 2009). Some studies demonstrated that strengthening with elastic bands has showed effective results in improve upper limb strength in wheelchair users (Nawoczenski et al, 2006;Mulroy et al, 2011;Satyavanshi, Pattnaik, & Mohanty, 2017).…”

Como no agradecer al equipo CD Ilunion, conformado por sus directivos, jugadores, personal técnico y familias, quienes con la participación en los entrenamientos y diferentes campeonatos me permitieron conocer más a fondo el Baloncesto en Silla de Ruedas no sólo a nivel técnico sino también a nivel humano. A los jugadores de baloncesto en silla de la selección nacional femenina, masculina y sub 23, así como los jugadores de CD Ilunion, han sido una parte fundamental en todo este proceso, la amabilidad y la disposición de todos hizo más fácil el trabajo que se llevó a cabo, fue un placer conocer a magníficas personas. Al profesor Rubén Barakat porque de manera desinteresada puso a nuestra disposición sus conocimientos para enriquecer este proyecto. Al Hospital Parapléjicos de Toledo, en especial a todos los que forman parte de la Unidad de Biomecánica y Ayudas Técnicas (Ana, Vicente, Miriam, Antonio y Enrique), al Dr. Ángel Gil, de quien aprendí que con disciplina, ética y esfuerzo se puede conseguir la meta que te propongas.

Injuries Associated with Crutch Use: A Narrative Review

Crutches are commonly prescribed in physiatric settings to help offload the lower extremities. Crutch use, however, results in abnormal and repetitive weight-bearing through the upper extremities that may result in secondary injury. This narrative review investigates injury types and risk factors associated with crutch use in order to guide healthcare providers on injury prevention strategies. Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library were systematically reviewed for publications between 1950 and 2018 on neurological, musculoskeletal, or vascular complications associated with crutch use. Titles and abstracts (n = 2395) were screened by two authors. Sixty studies were eligible. Articles were reviewed for level of evidence, crutch type, participant characteristics, and injury characteristics. There were 42 axillary crutch studies, 12 forearm crutch studies, and 6 studies that did not specify crutch type. These studies incorporated 622 individuals, and most were case series or case reports (n = 54). Axillary crutch use was most commonly associated with axillobrachial arterial complications due to pressure from the axillary bar (n = 34). Forearm crutch use was most commonly associated with compressive neuropathies due to pressure from the forearm cuff (n = 6). Improper crutch fitting and/or use were identified as contributing factors to injury in 22 cases. Duration of crutch use and medical comorbidities also influenced the types of injuries seen. There are rare but potentially serious complications associated with crutch use. When prescribing crutches, clinicians should ensure they are properly fit, engage in appropriate gait training, be aware of common crutch-related injuries, and consider potential patient-specific injury risk factors in order to minimize injury risk.
