Rugby: injury epidemiology. Only case study in readaptation and retraining after maissoneuve split-dislocation

Abstract

Rugby is a sport widely studied in the physical and technical-tactical injury area with a high injury rate, it shows a relationship between anthropometric data and role playing. In this sport, injury incidence varies depending on the play role, being higher in the forward position. Besides these injuries are characterized by being predominantly muscular and more common in the lower limb. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to synthesize all the information about the sport and its injury epidemiology, to make an intervention after fracture-dislocation Maissoneuve - only case -in which he attempted to recover from an unusual injury. The results showed an improvement of the measured variables, both objective (travel articular, strength and borders), and subjective (Borg scale) as the intervention advanced, which verified the importance of monitoring and of quantification of the recovery for the reset and optimization.
