Skate Boarding
Common Injuries /Illness
- Ankle Sprain, Ankle Strain, Wrist Fractures, Neurological Traumas, Plantar Fasciitis, Back Pain, Tendinopathies, Head Trauma, Muscular Strains, Lacerations, Dental Injuries, Shoulder Instability, etc.
- Upper Extremity :
The Upper Arm is attributed to significant impact forces with surfaces, rails, direct blunt trauma, overuse through repetitive stress etc.
- Lower Extremity :
Due to multiplicative array of intrinsic and extrinsic factors may simultaneously contribute to trauma.
ASSESSMENT
- 3D biomechanics + kinematics of skateboarding + Ollie Maneuver
- Upper body + Arm mechanics analysis
