Hello.
I hope that everybody knows about the curling sport. The literature search reveals there is an evidence that the curlers had severe knee pain in his/her sliding leg (deep flexed knee).
However, I could not found any information about what is the cause of that pain? where is the pain come from (for instance, from muscle or soft tissue overload) or where is the location? (anterior or posterolateral).
please advise to me, share your knowledge, and please refer related publication including unpublished study, useful websites, and injury survey.
thank you
I think you would not find on curling. But nothing prevents you from seeking other similar work areas curling. As carleur who always work knee flexed. It will be in the occupational disease.
Literature is limited
Here one paper and a website; hoping that it will help.
Reeser J C and Berg R L (2004). Self reported injury patterns among competitive curlers in the United States: a preliminary investigation into the epidemiology of curling injuries. Br J Sports Med. 38:e29 (doi:10.1136/bjsm.2003.010298)

Thank your for the reply. The idea about occupation-related injury with same activities mentioned by Karaki was good. This gives me a new perspective.
thank you again
