Prevalence of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Among Weightlifters
View through CrossRef
Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tendons in the wrist's first dorsal compartment, commonly caused by repetitive wrist movements. Its prevalence among weightlifters remains underexplored.Objective: To determine the prevalence of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis among weightlifters.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2024 in several cities of Pakistan, including Faisalabad, Lahore, Muridke, and Sheikhupura. A total of 380 weightlifters aged 20 to 40 years were recruited using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected through a self-constructed questionnaire, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and the Finkelstein test. Pain levels were assessed, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.Results: Out of 380 participants, 272 (71.6%) tested positive for De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Among them, 137 (36.1%) reported moderate pain, and 80 (21.1%) reported severe pain on the NPRS. A higher prevalence was observed in males (56.6%) compared to females (43.4%).Conclusion: The study reveals a high prevalence of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis among weightlifters, emphasizing the need for preventive measures and early intervention strategies.
