Women's intercollegiate gymnastics. Injury patterns and "permanent" medical disability

The American Journal of Sports Medicine

Abstract

A prospective study was established to record the patterns of injury incurred by all members of women's college gymnastics team. Twenty-six women were followed over a 4-year period (53 gymnast seasons) from 1983 to 1987. To identify which injuries resulted in persisting impairment, these same athletes were contacted again 3 years later. The 26 athletes sustained 106 injuries. Sixty (57%) of these were of acute onset and were related to an identifiable gymnastics event. The remaining 46 (43%) were of gradual onset or overuse injuries. For the follow-up phase, 22 of the 26 women were contacted from 10 to 70 months (38.5 average) after completion of their gymnastics careers. Forty-five percent of the injuries recorded in their competitive years still bothered them at the time of followup, especially low back, ankle, great toe, shoulder, and knee injuries. Athletic and recreational activity exacerbated the complaints. Twenty-nine percent felt that their sports activity level was now limited. Forty-six percent felt that their injury was at less than full recovery, yet most felt that they were capable of strenuous physical activity and continued to be active despite complaints such as pain and stiffness.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
