Brachial plexus injuries offer a unique challenge to the athletic trainer because of their relatively high frequency rate in contact sports and because of the complexity of the neuroanatomy in the cervical area. During a game, athletic trainers must make a fast, accurate decision regarding a player's return to competition. It is imperative that the athletic trainer be able to quickly differentiate between minor injuries and more serious injuries warranting removal from the game and/or physician referral. A systematic approach to the evaluation of a brachial plexus injury is essential to ensure proper treatment. This paper will present a structured approach to an on-the-field assessment of brachial plexus injuries.
臂丛神经损伤对运动训练员来说是一个独特的挑战,因为它们在接触性运动中的发生率相对较高,而且颈部神经解剖结构复杂。在比赛中,运动训练员必须快速、准确地做出关于运动员重返比赛的决定。运动训练员必须能够快速区分轻伤和更严重的损伤,这些损伤需要离开比赛和/或转介给医生。对臂丛神经损伤进行系统评估对于确保正确治疗至关重要。本文将介绍一种在现场评估臂丛神经损伤的结构化方法。
