To document injury rates and treatment use during one competitive season of Canadian professional rodeo.
Prospective cohort study.
Canadian professional rodeo competition.
Competitors, included professional cowboys from Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada.
Data were gathered prospectively at 15 of 68 professional rodeos in Canada, constituting 22% of all Canadian professional rodeos. Data were collected by four certified athletic therapists using a standardized form.
Overall, 94 athletes were injured during 3,882 individual competitor exposures (CEs). The composite injury rate was 2.3 per 100 CEs. This rate is lower than that reported in contact sports. Within the context of rodeo injuries, bareback riders and bull riders had similar high injury rates (4.6 and 3.6 per 100 CEs, respectively). Saddle bronc riders and steer wrestlers had moderate injury rates (1.4 and 0.9 per 100 CEs, respectively), whereas calf ropers had low injury rates (0.5 per 100 CEs). The knee and ankle were the most frequently treated sites of the body, followed by the shoulder, elbow, and lower back. Acute injury care and prophylactic taping were the most frequent services provided.
In order to study injury patterns in more detail and to assess risk factors for injury, a larger scale epidemiological study should be undertaken. Through such risk-based analysis, preventative strategies could be identified.
记录加拿大职业牛仔竞技一个赛季中的受伤率及治疗情况。
前瞻性队列研究。
加拿大职业牛仔竞技比赛。
参赛者，包括来自澳大利亚、巴西、新西兰、美国和加拿大的职业牛仔。
前瞻性收集加拿大68场职业牛仔竞技中15场的数据，占加拿大所有职业牛仔竞技的22%。数据由四名认证运动治疗师使用标准化表格收集。
总体而言，在3882次个人参赛者暴露（CEs）期间，94名运动员受伤。综合受伤率为每100次CEs中有2.3例。该比率低于接触性运动中报告的比率。在牛仔竞技受伤的背景下，无鞍骑手和公牛骑手的受伤率相似（分别为每100次CEs中有4.6例和3.6例）。鞍马骑手和拌跤手的受伤率中等（分别为每100次CEs中有1.4例和0.9例），而套小牛者的受伤率较低（每100次CEs中有0.5例）。膝盖和脚踝是身体最常接受治疗的部位，其次是肩膀、肘部和下背部。急性损伤护理和预防性包扎是最常提供的服务。
为了更详细地研究损伤模式并评估损伤的危险因素，应开展更大规模的流行病学研究。通过这种基于风险的分析，可以确定预防策略。
