Abstract des Autors

Acute trauma and repetitive microtrauma connected with certain sports and athletic activities are often mentioned when describing the etiology of nerve entrapment syndromes. According to the literature it is obvious that nerve entrapment syndromes in athletes are not as rare as they were once considered to be. To support this contention, we present currently available information about nerve entrapment syndromes in athletes. For each syndrome, we describe possible causes of compression, clinical symptoms and signs, and the most effective treatment. In conclusion we stress that nerve entrapment syndromes must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain in athletes. Verf.-Referat
