Development and validation of a sport-specific shoulder score questionnaire for functional fitness and weightlifting athletes.

Background: So-called scores are a frequently used evaluation system in clinical examinations to assess the function or limitations of a joint such as the shoulder.

An Evaluation of 7279 Sports Injuries from a Level 1 Trauma Center with a Focus on Gender Differences.

The objective of this study is to show that the differences between biological males and females are so significant that they require both specific injury prevention and therapy programs.
