“…Ekstrand and Gillqvist (1982) have found 8/1000 in adult players. In other contact sports such as lacrosse, the risk of injury is as high as 13/1000 training hours and 443/1000 game hours (Nelson et al, 1981). Accurate injury data from winter sports are difficult to obtain but rough estimates show 10/1000 skier-days in downhill skiing (Ellison, 1972) and 0.5/1000 skierdays in cross country skiing (Garaick, 1971).…”

SutntnaryThe purpose of this study was to determine the risk of developing complications in paraplegics taking part in sport. It is a retrospective study of patients with complete spinal cord injury at the spinal level of C7-cauda equina/ conus injury, and consists of 61 patients admitted to the Beitostolen Healthsportcenter, Norway.All of them had achieved satisfactory bladder/bowel function. The wheelchair dependents were all skilled in the use of the wheelchair. They participated in a training programme with an average duration of 25 days. Different activities were tried, such as weight-lzJting, pulking, swimming, volleyball, calisthenics in a group, horseback-riding, archery, tabletennis, canoeing, totalling 11 955 training hours.During the training period the following complications were observed: urinary tract infections, pressure sores, and sprains and strains. There were 30 complica tions, most of them only of minor type.The incidence of complications, expressed as number of complications/lOOO training-hours was, for urinary tract infections-0,50, pressure sores 0,42, sprains/ strains 1,33, others 0,25: in all 2,51.Sprains and strains were the most common complications, accounting for about 55 per cent of the total, all of which were successfully treated before discharge. Sport activities are an important part of the rehabilitation of the spinal cord injured and the risk of serious complications appears to be low.

“…The forefoot can become fixed on the turf, and externally applied forces to the foot can result in this injury. Interestingly, studies (Ekstrand et al (21), Nelson et al (22), and Nielsen et al (23))have not shown an increase in turf toe injuries in either soccer or lacrosse players using artifical turf, in contrast to American football players using the same type playing fields. The lack of significant body contact, and resulting high externally applied force/moments may account for this difference.…”

Problems in defining and measuring friction on natural and artificial playing surfaces

Classical models of friction assume non-resilient surfaces, and are contact area independent. Pedestrian traction requirements remain controversial, as does the methodology of measuring coefficient of friction in situ. Athletic events, with severe maneuvers, can result in high traction requirements in order for the participant to successfully complete the activity. Typical outdoor atlhletic fields can be divided into natural and artificial surfaces, each with its own peculiar traction behavior when in contact with different athletic shloe outsoles. Friction testing devices, for use with athletic shoes and playing surfaces have b e e n d e v e l o p e d . However, t r a c t i o n requirements and appropriate test protocols have not been standardized.
