Clay Nelson Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi, I am an Orthopaedic surgery resident currently doing a survey looking at upper extremity injuries sustained while climbing. I am inviting you to participate in a survey investigating upper extremity injuries sustained among climbers over the past 5 years. I have a brief online survey that should take less than 5 minutes to complete. The purpose of the survey is to identify specific aspects of climbing that may be associated with upper extremity injuries and the types of upper extremity injuries sustained in climbing. Your responses will be anonymous and used in aggregate to identify significant relationships between climbing and upper extremity injuries. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to the following address: ClimbingInjurySurvey@gmail.com Your email will be used soley for the purpose of sending you the survey link. Thank you in advance for your assistance. If you know of any one who would be interested in participating, please forward them the email address. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medicsandy Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Too bad you're not doing your study on lower extremities. I'm typing this with a huge ice pack on my knee! And the best part is I haven't climbed yet (July 12th). I'm destroying my knees just by training! If I screw up a shoulder....I'll let you know! Actually, from what I've heard....most climbing injuries tend to be lower extremities. It's hard on the knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Distal bicep detach seems to be fairly common in the climbing community for those that have been around awhile. Rare else where I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
