Abstract

The hands can be injured in several sports, and soccer goalkeepers are specially at risk. The hand trauma can damage the musculoskeletal system and its functionality. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of injuries in the hands of male and female soccer goalkeepers and the correlation with the time of performance and the impact on the musculoskeletal system in hand grip strength sensibility test. Methodology: There were 48 subjects, 24 goalkeepers and 24 subjects in the control group from both sexes. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The sensibility with the use of monofilament and handgrip strength was assessed. Results: The main injuries reported by the groups were dislocation and fracture in the fingers, there was no difference in the number of reported injuries between genders (p =0.798). The average time of performance was significantly longer in the sport among women 16(+/- 6.7) years versus 5.0(+/- 2.5) years for men (p <0.001). The female group showed a strong correlation between the number of episodes of injury and the time of performance(r =0.7467). None of the subjects showed a change in sensitivity or strength compared with the control (p =0.876). There was a significant difference in the values of grip strength only between genders. Conclusion: Despite suffering significant injuries to their hands, no changes in sensitivity and grip strength were observed. Among women the longer they practiced in the sport the moreinjuries they suffered.
