Abstract des Autors
The authors studied data from 415 injured snowboarders to determine injury patterns. Injuries were evenly distributed between upper and lower extremities, and 41 were fractures. The wrist was the most common injury site. Snowboarders wearing hard-shell boots were more likely to injure their knees; those wearing soft boots, their ankles. In a nonstatistical comparison, snowboarders injury rates were similar to Alpine skiers, but boarders were more likely than skiers to injure their upper extremities. Verf.-Referat
