Abstract des Autors

Sixty-two patients with roller-skating injuries were seen over an 18-month periods. Most (71) of the patients were girls and women, and ages ranged from 6 to 62 years. Most injuries were caused when the skaters lost their balance and fell backwards onto their hands. Most (79) injuries were to the upper extremities and only 19 were to the lower extremities. There was one nonextremitiy injury, a lumbar compression fracture. The authors recommend using protective pads and improved body mechanics to avoid injuries. Verf.-Referat
