Neuropathy in joggers.

E W Massey, A B Pleet

    The American Journal of Sports Medicine
    |July 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Jogging can cause nerve damage, specifically mononeuropathies. As jogging becomes more popular, increased instances of these running-related nerve injuries are anticipated.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Repetitive mechanical stress during physical activity can lead to various injuries.
    • Understanding the relationship between exercise and neurological complications is crucial for public health.
    • Jogging is a prevalent form of exercise with potential biomechanical risks.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of mononeuropathy were identified.
    • These neuropathies were directly linked to the activity of jogging.
    • The observed injuries involved damage to specific peripheral nerves.

    Findings:

    • Jogging-induced mononeuropathies, while seemingly uncommon, are a potential complication of this exercise.
    • The exact incidence is unknown but may rise with increased participation in jogging.
    • Mechanical factors associated with running may play a role in neural tissue injury.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of jogging-related nerve injuries should increase among athletes and healthcare providers.
    • Further research into the biomechanics of running may reveal specific mechanisms causing neuropathy.
    • Preventive strategies may be developed to mitigate the risk of nerve damage in runners.
