The aim was to assess the 1-year retrospective prevalence of athletes reporting a sports-related injury among Paralympic judokas with visual impairment (VI), and to identify any associations between injury, vision class, gender and weight category.
Cross-sectional retrospective study.
The data were collected through an adapted questionnaire given to athletes with VI during an international training camp. A total of 45 Paralympic judokas answered the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and chi-square statistics (p < 0.05) were used to analyse the data. Spearman's correlation was used to analyse multiple injuries.
Thirty-eight of the athletes reported an injury, giving a 1-year prevalence of 84% (95% CI 71-93). Male athletes reported significantly more injuries compared to female athletes (p = 0.023). Over two thirds of the injuries (71%; 95% CI 55-83) had a traumatic onset. The majority of injuries (74%; 95% CI 58-85) occurred during judo training, and in the standing technique tachi waza (82%; 95% CI 66-91). The shoulder was the most single affected body location (29%). Forty-five percent of the injuries led to a time loss from sport for more than three weeks, and 40% of judokas reported multiple injuries.
The results from this study demonstrate a high prevalence of mainly traumatic and severe sports-related injuries amongst athletes with VI participating in Paralympic judo. A first step towards prevention could be to minimize the time in tachi waza. However, to improve sports safety and to develop effective strategies for injury prevention, more comprehensive epidemiological studies, and also technical studies assessing injury mechanisms are warranted.
评估参加残奥会盲人柔道的运动员在过去 1 年中报告与运动相关的损伤的回顾性患病率，并确定损伤、视力类别、性别和体重类别之间的任何关联。
横断面回顾性研究。
通过适应于在国际训练营期间向视障运动员提供的问卷收集数据。共有 45 名残奥会盲人柔道运动员回答了问卷。使用描述性统计和卡方检验（p < 0.05）来分析数据。使用 Spearman 相关分析来分析多发性损伤。
38 名运动员报告了损伤，1 年患病率为 84%（95%CI 71-93）。男性运动员报告的损伤明显多于女性运动员（p = 0.023）。超过三分之二的损伤（71%；95%CI 55-83）为创伤性损伤。大多数损伤（74%；95%CI 58-85）发生在柔道训练中，在站立技术 tachi waza（82%；95%CI 66-91）中。肩部是最单一受伤的身体部位（29%）。45%的损伤导致运动员失去运动时间超过 3 周，40%的盲人柔道运动员报告了多发性损伤。
本研究结果表明，参加残奥会盲人柔道的运动员中，主要是创伤性和严重的与运动相关的损伤患病率较高。预防的第一步可以是尽量减少 tachi waza 的时间。然而，为了提高运动安全性并制定有效的损伤预防策略，需要进行更全面的流行病学研究，以及评估损伤机制的技术研究。
