傳統劇校學生尺神經運動傷害之探討

Abstract

The traditional Chinese performing artist is a special group at the scope of athletic injury. Long term over-training may put excessive stress on the musculoskelelal system. The goal of this study was io evaluate the occurrence of ulnar nerve injuries in students of dramatic school.Total of 47 dramatic school students completed the questionaire, physical examination and electromyographic study.Of 94 hands in 47 students, abnormal EMG finding was noted in 29 subjects, and the incidence rate was 30.9%. According to the result of our electrodiagnostic study, the prevalence of ulnar nerve injuries was relatively high in dramatic students. They often used their upper extremities for vigorous weight bearing activities.such as erecting upside down and rolling on the air. Too much loading on their wrists may result in ulnar nerve entrapments.But the degree of their discomforts and lesions usually was mild.The symptoms subsided as soon as they stopped the training activities- Demyelination was a major histopathology in the injured ulnar nerves (65%) , and axonopathy was a minor finding (50%). We suggest that the traditional performing artists should be alert with the occult ulnar nerve injuries.The warm up activities and impact.absorbing floors must be advised before the formal performances. The professional medical staffs should be consulted if necessary. The EMG examinations are ought to be instituted for early detection in subclinical uinar nerve lesions.
