Epidemiology of Peripheral Nerve Injuries in Sports, Exercise, and Recreation in the United States, 2009 – 2018

Abstract

PNIs are rising with participation in exercise, sports, and recreation over this 10-year study period. Injuries predominantly occurred in football for those under 20 and exercise for those 20 and older. Precautions and appropriate training are necessary for individuals participating in high-intensity exercise, sports, or recreation to limit the risk of a devastating neurological injury.
