A Study on the Prevalence of musculo - skeletal Injuries in Iran Western Provinces Rock Climbers

The purpose of this study was to consider the prevalence of musculo - skeletal injuries in rock climbing and to determine some individual - performance factors such as maximum grade of climbing, skillful hand and common type of climbing on existence and circumstance of the injuries. From February to September 2005 previous or present injuries among 50 young climbers via clinical examination were assessed in fingers, palms, wrists.forearms, elbows, arms and shoulder girdles. After data gathering and statistical analysis, we found these results about the amount of musculo - skeletal injuries prevalence. About half of injuries were in lingers and others approximately l-velʹe divided equally among dhows, forearm and shoulder girdles. Most injuryprevalence consist ofcollateral hgamenrssrain oiPlPjoin). FDS and FDP muscle strain, rotator Cuff muscles strain and A2 annular pulley strain Injury prevalence rate on the base of appearing in finger orderly consists of ring, long, index and small finger. In subsequent process, inferential statistics results show that among mentioned factors, there was a significant difference in the mean of climbing maximum grade between climber group that sustains injuries and the one without injuries, (t>}. 72, p=OJJUlj In th» same ~lʹa.lʹ, there was a significant positive correlation between maximum grade ofclimibing and intensity qlA2 annular pulley injuries.
