Interest in rock climbing has grown dramatically over the past decade. Although considerable research has been conducted on upper-extremity injuries sustained during rock climbing, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of lower-extremity injuries and related biomechanics. The authors performed a retrospective investigation of rock-climbing injuries using a survey of 104 active rock climbers of varying levels of expertise. The results show that 81% of the respondents have suffered acute or chronic pain or associated pathology in the foot or ankle during or after climbing. The authors propose that this morbidity has biomechanical etiologies related to the common practice among rock climbers of wearing climbing shoes that are smaller than their street shoes.
在过去十年中，人们对攀岩的兴趣急剧增长。尽管已经对攀岩过程中上肢受伤情况进行了大量研究，但尚未对下肢损伤及相关生物力学进行全面评估。作者通过对104名不同专业水平的活跃攀岩者进行调查，对攀岩损伤进行了回顾性研究。结果显示，81%的受访者在攀岩期间或之后足部或脚踝出现过急性或慢性疼痛或相关病变。作者提出，这种发病率具有生物力学病因，与攀岩者普遍穿着比日常鞋子小的攀岩鞋这一习惯有关。
