Rowing injuries commonly affect the low back, ribs, shoulder, wrist, and knee. Understanding rowing biomechanics is key for diagnosing and preventing these chronic overuse injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Rowing participation is increasing, but specific injury data is limited.
  • Common rowing injuries include musculoskeletal issues in the low back, ribs, shoulder, wrist, and knee.
  • Understanding rowing physiology and stroke mechanics is crucial for injury diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common rowing-related injuries.
  • To outline pathophysiology, mechanisms, assessment, and management strategies for these injuries.
  • To emphasize the importance of biomechanics and training habits in injury prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common rowing injuries.
  • Analysis of rowing physiology and stroke mechanics.

  • Discussion of injury assessment and management.

    • Main Results:

    • The low back is the most frequently injured region, often due to hyperflexion and twisting.
    • Rib stress fractures cause significant time loss, though their exact cause is unknown.
    • Other common injuries include shoulder pain, wrist issues, patellofemoral pain, and iliotibial band syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and treatment require understanding rowing biomechanics.
    • Correcting biomechanical or equipment issues can help prevent rowing injuries.
    • Healthcare providers can better treat and prevent rowing injuries by understanding rowing biomechanics and training habits.
