Shoulder Injuries in Modern Cricket: Should an Increase Be Anticipated?
1Faculty of Sport, The University of the West Indies, Administrative Annex Building, Mona Campus, Kingston, Jamaica.
Background:
Shoulder injuries in cricket were among the top injuries in the game. With increased effort by players batting, bowling and fielding, a further increase in its incidence can be anticipated. There are predisposing factors that can be screened and with prehabiliation, injuries can be prevented. This paper looks at the mechanism of shoulder injuries in cricket and how many can be prevented. It also presents a case of an unusual injury around the joint which can be mistaken for a shoulder injury.
Conclusion:
Musculoskeletal screening of the shoulder can reduce shoulder injuries. With an anticipated increase in incidence, this should be a focus of prevention.
