痛症原因知多啲（十六）—劍擊運動的常見傷患

Congratulations to the Hong Kong team for winning two historic gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics! Hong Kong athletes are also participating in the ongoing Paralympics in Paris, making fencing a hot topic in the city. While fencing is quite exciting and fun, its unique characteristics inevitably lead to some common sports injuries. Here are the common injuries in fencing and the auxiliary treatment plans provided by physical therapy:

Common Injuries in Fencing

Knee Pain: Fencing requires a lot of knee bending movements, combined with sudden forward and backward movements, which can easily cause excessive load on the knee joints, leading to synovitis or cartilage damage.
Ankle Sprains: Quick direction changes and intense braking movements can lead to ankle sprains, especially on uneven surfaces ¹.
Shoulder Tendonitis: Fencing involves a lot of sword swinging, which can cause friction and congestion in the shoulder tendons, leading to tendonitis ².
Back Pain: Fencing movements require flexible waist rotation, and long periods of bending over to hold the sword can lead to tight and sore back muscles ³.
Wrist Pain: Holding the sword requires force, and the vibration of the sword can easily cause damage to the wrist joints and surrounding soft tissues ³.

Auxiliary Treatment Plans in Physical Therapy

In summary, while fencing brings immense excitement and a sense of achievement, it is also important to pay attention to common sports injuries. Physical therapists can provide comprehensive assessments and training plans to help athletes recover quickly and return to the field. With appropriate preventive and treatment measures, fencing athletes can perform at their best and bring glory to Hong Kong!
