Injuries to the wrists, elbows, and hands of cheerleaders are common. During stunts, their wrists and elbows bear the weight of their entire body. They undergo similar stresses when supporting teammates. The most common type of injury is falling onto an outstretched hand, and if a cheerleader experiences pain in one of these areas, ice it immediately. If the elbow pain persists, see a doctor for X-rays. Injuries to the elbow may be caused by hyperextension or ligament sprain.
Some cheerleaders sustain concussions. This condition is most common in girls and women cheerleaders. A concussion can result in permanent problems, so it’s vital to know the warning signs of a concussion. A physical medicine specialist can give you advice on how to treat this injury. You should also know the warning signs of a brain injury, and understand how to spot it early in your child.
The most common place cheerleaders seek medical care was the scene of the injury. However, if the cheerleader is performing a stunt or tumbling routine, they may sustain a concussion. The symptoms of concussion vary, and children should only practice these moves on a level surface. Moreover, they should wear the proper protective gear and footwear. If the injury is severe, a cheerleader should consult with a physical medicine specialist to prevent further complications.
