Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the upper extremity health profile and to analyze the effect of sports participation, sports type, and previous injury on the health profile in Turkish overhead athletes. Methods: One hundred and thirty-four competitive overhead throwing athletes included the study. Upper extremity pain existence and severity, disability and functional status were assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form (ASES). Results: Upper extremity problems were observed in 41.8% of the participants. The DASH and ASES scores showed significant difference when subgroups of athletes compared based on their current level of play and previous injury history (p<0.05). Shoulder pain was the most common clinical presentation. Additionally, sport type and the duration of participation in professional sports did not correlate with the upper extremity health status in Turkish overhead throwing athletes (p>0.05). Conclusion: Upper extremity problems are seen at a high ranks in overhead throwing athletes. This study identified the upper extremity health profile in Turkish overhead throwing athletes, thereby creating considerations for prevention sports-related upper extremity injuries.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk baş üstü fırlatma sporcularında üst ekstremite sağlık profili üzerine oyun seviyesi, spora katılım, spor dalı ve yaralanma hikayesinin etkisini araştırmaktı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 134 baş üstü fırlatma sporcusu dahil edildi. Üst ekstremite ağrı varlığı ve şiddeti, özür seviyesi ve fonksiyonel aktivite düzeyi Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları Anketi (DASH) ve Amerikan Omuz ve Dirsek Cerrahları Değerlendirme Formu (ASES) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların % 41,8’inde üst ekstremite sorunları gözlendi. Oyun seviyesine ve önceki yaralanma hikayesine göre gruplara ayrılan bireyler karşılaştırıldığında DASH ve ASES skorlarında farklılıklar gözlendi (p<0,05). Omuz ağrısı en sık karşılaşılan klinik semptomdu. Ayrıca, spor dalı ve spora katılım süresi Türk baş üstü fırlatma sporcularında gözlenen üst ekstremite yaralanmaları ile istatistiksel ilişki göstermedi (p>0,05). Sonuç: Baş üstü fırlatma sporcularında üst ekstremite problemleri yüksek oranda gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışma Türk baş üstü fırlatma sporcularında üst ekstremite sağlık profilini belirlemiş ve böylelikle sporla ilişkili üst ekstremite yaralanmalarının önlenmesi açısından bilgi sağlamıştır.
