To describe the impact of shoulder injuries on professional cricketers during the 2005 England and Wales first class cricket season.
Professional cricketers in England were asked to complete two questionnaires relating to shoulder injuries. Players who returned both questionnaires were included in this study.
The impact of any shoulder pain whilst playing cricket, impaired cricketing performance and shoulder injury related problems during training and activities of daily living.
One hundred and fifty eight of a total of 378 players (42%) returned both questionnaires. Twenty-three per cent of the participants described shoulder injury during the 2005 season. Injury prevalence (the percentage of players not available for selection in a match due to shoulder injury) was 1.7%. Sixty-four per cent of shoulder injured players often or always had associated problems when fielding, and 58% of shoulder injured players fielded in a specific position to avoid shoulder injury related problems. Eighteen per cent of all study participants felt pain on throwing at some stage during the survey period.
Professional cricketers generally play on with shoulder injuries without missing matches, though their performance, especially during fielding, is often compromised. Research into the diagnoses, aetiology, appropriate treatment and prevention of shoulder injuries in cricket is required.
描述2005年英格兰和威尔士甲级板球赛季肩部损伤对职业板球运动员的影响。
要求英格兰的职业板球运动员填写两份与肩部损伤相关的问卷。两份问卷均回复的球员纳入本研究。
打板球时肩部疼痛的影响、板球运动表现受损情况以及训练和日常生活活动中与肩部损伤相关的问题。
总共378名球员中有158名（42%）回复了两份问卷。23%的参与者称在2005赛季有肩部损伤。损伤发生率（因肩部损伤无法入选比赛的球员百分比）为1.7%。64%的肩部受伤球员在防守时经常或总是伴有相关问题，58%的肩部受伤球员为避免肩部损伤相关问题而在特定位置进行防守。在调查期间，18%的所有研究参与者在投球时某个阶段感到疼痛。
职业板球运动员肩部受伤后通常会继续比赛而不缺席，不过他们的表现，尤其是在防守时，常常受到影响。需要对板球运动中肩部损伤的诊断、病因、适当治疗和预防进行研究。
