Abstract
c a i l o d n g a s l In B ri ef ROCK CLIMBING HAS gained tremendous popularity in recent decades, causing more people to be exposed to injuries associated with the unique iomechanical forces of rock climbing. In a recent urvey of 205 active British rock climbers, 50% had ustained at least one injury in the past 12 months. Wrist and hand injuries make up as much as 73% of all rock climbing injuries, with tendon and pulley injuries being the most common. This often results from the crimp grip position with the distal interphalangeal joints hyperextended, the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints flexed at 90°, and the metacarpophalangeal joints extended.
