Injuries in Handicapped Alpine Ski Racers.
McCormick, David P.
Physician and Sportsmedicine, v13 n12 p93-97 Dec 1985
A study of 68 handicapped skiers showed a rate of two injuries per 1,000-skier days. Disabled skiers, while risking the same injuries as nondisabled skiers, also have problems related to their disabilities. A particular hazard for amputee skiers is the outrigger injury. Recommendations to reduce the injury rate are presented. (MT)
