As pickleball gains popularity among active seniors, it has become an increasingly important cause of injury, and identifying common injuries can inform prevention and safety measures.
Pickleball is an increasingly important cause of recreational injury among active seniors, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and safety measures.
May warrant injury prevention counseling for senior pickleball participants; leaves open prospective validation of risk factors and interventions.
NEISS is a valuable data source for describing the epidemiology of recreational injuries. However, careful case definitions are necessary when examining records involving older populations as non-injury conditions related to the activity/product codes of interest are frequent. As pickleball gains in popularity among active seniors, it is becoming an increasingly important cause of injury. Identifying and describing the most common types of injuries may can help inform prevention and safety measures.
