Few studies have examined injuries resulting from practicing parkour. The current study provides details on more parkour-related emergency department visits than existed in the combined research literature.
Cross-sectional data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System were used to examine parkour-related injuries presenting to U.S. emergency departments over a seven year period.
Most parkour injuries were reportedly caused by landing or from striking objects. Common diagnoses included fractures, sprains/strains, abrasions/contusions, and lacerations. More than half of reported injuries (57.7%) affected the patients' extremities. In this data, there appears to be a trend of increasing parkour injuries over time. Patients as young as 8years old have presented to emergency departments with parkour-related injuries in recent years.
Given the relatively severe injuries obtained by youth participants, more research is needed to guide injury prevention efforts. Understanding the nature of parkour-related injuries may help inform prevention efforts. However, more systematic monitoring of participation in parkour and related injuries is needed.
很少有研究调查过跑酷运动导致的损伤情况。当前这项研究提供的与跑酷相关的急诊科就诊细节比以往综合研究文献中的还要多。
利用美国消费品安全委员会国家电子伤害监测系统的横断面数据，对7年期间美国急诊科接收的与跑酷相关的损伤情况进行调查。
据报道，大多数跑酷损伤是由落地或撞到物体引起的。常见诊断包括骨折、扭伤/拉伤、擦伤/挫伤和撕裂伤。超过半数（57.7%）的报告损伤累及患者四肢。在这些数据中，似乎存在跑酷损伤随时间增加的趋势。近年来，年仅8岁的患者因与跑酷相关的损伤到急诊科就诊。
鉴于青少年参与者受到的损伤相对严重，需要更多研究来指导预防工作。了解与跑酷相关损伤的性质可能有助于预防工作。然而，需要对跑酷参与情况和相关损伤进行更系统的监测。
