Abstract

Skating includes several types of ice and roller skating. Injuries from skating are typically traumatic injuries or overuse injuries. Novice and less experienced skaters fall more often and sustain concussions and fractures of the wrist and ankle. Experienced skaters fall when they attempt risky techniques, but tend to get more overuse tendinitis, bursitis, blisters, and patellofemoral pain.
