INJURIES MANAGEMENT IN BADMINTON
Some common injuries due to the explosive nature of badminton are:
1. LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS (Tennis Elbow) Inflammation of the forearm extensors causing outer elbow and upper forearm pain and tenderness. It is caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-tendon junction.
Management:
1. Rest, ice after playing badminton;
2. Wrist flexion stretches and gentle eccentric loading exercises of the wrist extensors;
3. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be beneficial for short-term relief;
4. Use of a support, such as an epiclasp;
5. Physiotherapy can include ultrasound, laser, soft tissue release, deep frictions, strapping and acupuncture. If these treatments do not settle symptoms, a local steroid injection may be required.
2. SHOULDER INJURIES a) Impingement – Pain and often weakness when you raise your arm caused by a muscle tendon ‘catching’ in your shoulder. Due to the repetitive overhead action involved in smashing or overhead clearances in badminton, this can be a very common injury.
b) Rotator cuff injury – Inflammation or damage to one or more of the muscles, tendons or bursa (fluid-filled sac) that make up the rotator cuff.
Your rotator cuff is made up of a group of four muscles (the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor) and their tendons. They help keep your shoulder joint stable and also help with shoulder movements.
Management:
1. Rest initially and limit activities that involve lifting your arm over your head and stop movements that cause pain;
2. Gentle shoulder stretches and rotator cuff strength exercises, which your physiotherapist can
