Abstract des Autors
This article documents the experimence with medical coverage for the 1985 Canada Summer Games to help determine the demands of caring for athletes at this level of competition. A total of 599 medical and physiotherapy treatments were given to the 339 members of the British Columbian team (including 20 mission staff) during the two weeks of the games. Most treatments were carried out in the clinic by physiotherapists, suggesting that athletes were seen more frequently for chronic musculoskeletal complaints than for acute medical emergencies. However, physicians responsible for on-site care must be equipped to treat conditions ranging from corneal abrasions to acute head or neck injuries. Verf.-Referat
