Common Injuries

  • Low Back Pain, Open Wounds, Head Injuries, Contusions, Fractures, Sprains, Lacerations, Strains, Sprains, Tendinopathies, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, etc.
  • Upper Limb Injuries :

    These are mostly due to Overuse, Poor Technique, High demands of heavy weather steering, etc.

  • Torso and Back Injuries :

    Injury mechanisms included Grinding, Lifting or impact from objects.

  • Lower Limb Injuries :

    Decreased Hip Strength, Altered Rotatory stability, decreased flexibility in lower limb are some of the contributing factors that makes the Sailors prone to injuries.

ASSESSMENT

  • Movement Analysis: Biomechanics + Kinematics of sailing
  • Functional Movement Screening
  • Musculoskeletal Screening
  • Analysis of Apparent Wind & Sail Power
  • Upper extremity muscle testing
  • Strength, Explosiveness testing
  • Reaction Time and Coordination assessment
  • Psychological Assessment
  • Aerobic Fitness Testing
