“…Despite contacting coaches to remind their players to volunteer in this study, the response rate was 24% (74 out of 314 players) and must be interpreted as low [ 24 ]. This study followed a bottom-up approach and, therefore, it was totally dependent on the willingness of coaches and athletes to volunteer in the survey.…”

(1) Background: In Switzerland, there is little data on injury characteristics in elite ice hockey players aged under 20 years (U20 Elite juniors). This study aimed to determine the injury rate and type of injury in Swiss U20 ice hockey players. (2) Methods: The present study was carried out in a retrospective, non-experimental design using an online questionnaire provided to the 314 elite players of the 12 Swiss U20 Elite ice hockey teams. The injury rate, rate ratios, injury location, type and severity of injury, and injury mechanism were reported. (3) Results: Seventy-three athletes from 11 teams volunteered (response rate = 24%). A total of 30 out of 45 recorded injuries led to time loss in practice and competition. Injury occurred once or twice during the 2019/2020 season. For each player, the injury rate was 0.66 per 1000 practice hours and 2.89 per 1000 competition hours (injury rate ratio = 4.5). The head/neck region was the most common injury location (45.5%). (4) Conclusions: Knowledge of injury characteristics in ice hockey is necessary for meaningful injury management and injury prevention. The results of the present study provide information on the injury rate, location, types, severity, and mechanism in elite Swiss U20 ice hockey players. Most injuries result from contact with another player. More strict sanctioning for irregular behavior and fair play can serve as preventive measures. Further studies should examine different preventive measures such as wearing full-face coverage.

Outpatient emergency consultations due to musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints are increasing in Swiss hospitals. In some countries, physiotherapy (PT) is already incorporated into patient care in emergency departments (EDs). The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the perspectives of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the potential involvement of PT in the ED of a regional acute hospital. A total of seven individual interviews with patients with MSK complaints and one focus group interview with five HCPs from the ED of a Swiss regional acute hospital were conducted. Semi-structured literature-based guidelines were used to analyse the experience of treatment in the ED and assess the potential of PT in ED. The data was thematically analysed according to Braun & Clarke (2006). Patients and HCPs see the role of PT in the ED primarily in patient education. Patients expressed a need for information about diagnosis, prognosis, and self-management. HCPs emphasised the added value of PT’s MSK expertise and discussed new perspectives for the profession. An agile approach to PT, potentially improved quality of care and patient satisfaction, as well as concerns about PT without a medical diagnosis, were emphasised. Four of the five HCPs would actively participate in the involvement of PT. According to patients and HCPs, the potential involvement of PT in the ED could counteract a gap in patient education. They see opportunities using PT expertise, agile work deployment, potential relief for the emergency team, increased quality of care, and patient satisfaction. Challenges such as clarifying the indication and concerns about PT without a medical diagnosis are important aspects of involvement. Evaluating a PT service in a regional acute hospital would be desirable.
