Athletic competition has long been a known source of spinal injuries. Approximately 8.7% of all new cases of spinal cord injuries in the United States are related to sports activities. The sports activities that have the highest risk of catastrophic spinal injuries are football, ice hockey, wrestling, diving, skiing, snowboarding, rugby, and cheerleading. Axial compression forces to the top of the head can lead to cervical fracture and quadriplegia in any sport. It is critical for any medical personnel responsible for athletes in team sports to have a plan for stabilization and transfer of an athlete who sustains a cervical spine injury.
长期以来，体育比赛一直是已知的脊柱损伤来源。在美国，所有脊髓损伤新病例中约8.7%与体育活动有关。有灾难性脊柱损伤最高风险的体育活动是足球、冰球、摔跤、跳水、滑雪、单板滑雪、橄榄球和啦啦队。在任何运动中，头部顶部受到的轴向压缩力都可能导致颈椎骨折和四肢瘫痪。对于负责团队运动运动员的任何医务人员来说，制定一个稳定和转移颈椎损伤运动员的计划至关重要。
