Sport-related injury patterns among Para athletes have been described with
increasing frequency.
This review summarizes musculoskeletal injuries in Para
athletes. Seated Para athletes sustain upper extremity injuries more commonly;
ambulant Para athletes frequently sustain lower extremity injuries. The upper
extremity is the most commonly injured anatomic area in all Para athletes, unlike
able-bodied athletes. Advanced age and spinal cord injury may increase the risk
of upper extremity injury. Injury data for recreational and youth Para athletes
are sparse. Summarizing current injury epidemiology data may help to accelerate
the development of injury prevention strategies and lifetime injury models for
Para athletes.
