Understanding the Risk Factors for Muscle Disorders in Sports Players
Muscle disorders often induce
- pain
- limitations in movement
- limitations in the ability to perform tasks
- limit functions of daily activities
In athletes, muscle disorders can cause
- back pain
- postural changes
- spinal injuries
Approximately, 1.71 Billion people worldwide suffer from muscle disorders that can affect the joints, bones, muscles, and spine
Athletes often have muscle disorders, with back pain being one of the most common
A German study found that 77% of athletes reported low back pain
63% had neck pain
46% had thoracic spine pain
The National Basketball Association conducted a study over a 17-year period and found that over 10% of all injuries involved the lumbar spine
Regular basketball training affects the curvature of thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis.
The most common injuries and postural changes in athletes were:
Spondylolysis ( a suggested reason is sports that involve hyperextension and rotation of the lumbar spine can lead to this dysfunction )
Lumbar spine injuries
Cervical spine injuries
2 out of 3 studies showed that the most common postural changes are
- Hyperlordosis - Increase in lumbar (low back) curvature
- Hyperlordosis- decrease in lumbar curvature
- Hyperkyphosis - increase in upper back curvature
They found female players had a higher prevalence, higher age was associated with low back pain and were more likely to have consecutive injuries.
