To describe in-line skating interests and practices, protective gear usage, and injury patterns in a population-based group of in-line skaters.
A two-page questionnaire with multiple choice questions and one write-in response question.
The survey was sent to 1,000 members of an in-line skating club in Detroit, MI and 45 other states.
The study was designed to profile skater injury patterns. The effects of protective gear and skater lessons on injury were examined.
Of the 435 skaters returning questionnaires, 56.7% were men. The mean age was 35 years. The frequency of in-line skating lessons was 31.7%. Of respondents, 72.5% wear some kind of protective gear while skating, and 79.8% reported that they had been injured while skating. Of those who had skated for 5 or more years, 93.7% had been injured. Upper extremity injuries were reported by 58.8% of skaters and lower extremity injuries by 66.7%. The majority suffered abrasions and bruises only. More serious injuries were reported by very few skaters: fractures by 5.5% and concussions by 2.1%. Only 3% of respondents required orthopedic surgery.
Lessons and protective gear decrease the risk of injury. However, risk of incurring minor injury exists even if full protective gear is used. Those who have skated for more than 5 years are almost certain to report having been injured.
描述一个基于人群的轮滑者群体的轮滑兴趣和习惯、防护装备使用情况以及损伤模式。
一份两页的问卷，包含多项选择题和一个填空回答问题。
调查问卷发送给了密歇根州底特律市一个轮滑俱乐部的1000名成员以及其他45个州的成员。
该研究旨在描绘轮滑者的损伤模式。研究了防护装备和轮滑课程对损伤的影响。
在435名回复问卷的轮滑者中，56.7%为男性。平均年龄为35岁。参加轮滑课程的频率为31.7%。在受访者中，72.5%在轮滑时会穿戴某种防护装备，79.8%报告称他们在轮滑时受过伤。在轮滑5年或更长时间的人中，93.7%受过伤。58.8%的轮滑者报告有上肢损伤，66.7%有下肢损伤。大多数人仅遭受擦伤和瘀伤。极少数轮滑者报告了更严重的损伤：5.5%发生骨折，2.1%发生脑震荡。只有3%的受访者需要接受骨科手术。
课程和防护装备可降低受伤风险。然而，即使使用了全套防护装备，仍存在受轻伤的风险。轮滑超过5年的人几乎肯定会报告受过伤。
