Sport injuries in squash.
Pak J Med Sci Jan ;25(3):413-7.

Objective: Investigating the squash injuries in the Iranian Squash Federation players. Methodology: We prepared a questionnaire and interviewed fifty-two players. Results: The majority of injuries were due to LBP (36.5%), which may result from the combination of rotational and sagittal plane activity of the back motion. The higher percentage of tennis elbow (21%) shows the significant function of the wrist. The knee problems may be due to playing with flexed knees and sudden changes in direction as well as to twisting movements because of the small court and the speed of ball. The most of female and male players suffered from ball & racket kicking, respectively. The reason for the first one might be due to the lack of good racket control and the second one could be owing to the incorrect motions in the court. Conclusion: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most common injury in squash players.
