Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Background:

Collegiate tenpin bowling participation is rising, yet injury data is scarce.
Understanding injury patterns is crucial for athlete well-being and performance.
Evolving athlete experience and training demands necessitate injury research.

Purpose of the Study:

To characterize the types and prevalence of injuries in collegiate tenpin bowlers.
To identify factors influencing injury rates and recurrence in this population.
To provide foundational data for injury prevention and management strategies.

Main Methods:

Retrospective cohort survey study involving collegiate tenpin bowlers.
Online survey collected data on injury history, demographics, and training factors.
Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests analyzed injury prevalence, recurrence, and influencing factors.

Main Results:

High injury prevalence (87%) and recurrence (75%) were observed in 101 collegiate bowlers.
Upper-extremity injuries were most common (n=112).
Injuries were more frequent in athletes without conditioning programs and not influenced by gender.

Conclusions:

Collegiate tenpin bowlers experience frequent injuries and recurrences, primarily in the upper-extremity.
Absence of a conditioning program is linked to higher injury frequency.
Findings support the development of sport-specific conditioning and rehabilitation programs.
