This survey was administered to a convenience sample of chronically injured sport climbers and boulderers recruited from several highly trafficked rock climbing websites. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Four hundred thirty-nine respondents submitted surveys adequate for analysis. These respondents reported 863 chronic injuries. A majority of these were in the upper extremity. Approximately half of respondents reported injury-related pain or functional limitation more than 10 days a month, one quarter reported that their pain caused moderate to severe interference with activities of daily living, most altered their climbing habits as a result of their injuries, and one third indicated that their pain moderately or severely affected their ability to pursue other sports. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study is the first to suggest that a subset of chronically injured climbers exists whose injuries may cause significant pain and activities-of-daily-living and sports-related functional limitation. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,21]],"date-time":"2013-02-21T20:16:34Z","timestamp":1361477794000},"page":"153-158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Characterizing the Consequences of Chronic Climbing-Related Injury in Sport Climbers and Boulderers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Alex K.","family":"Folkl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, VT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/11533690-000000000-00000"},{"key":"bibr2-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0838.2008.00851.x"},{"key":"bibr3-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2007.037978"},{"key":"bibr4-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1580\/06-WEME-OR-071R1.1"},{"key":"bibr5-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1580\/1080-6032(1998)009[0002:IITASR]2.3.CO;2"},{"key":"bibr6-jwem201211010","first-page":"323","volume-title":"Clinician's Pocket Reference","author":"Gomella L.G.","year":"2007","edition":"10"},{"key":"bibr7-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0031-1279723"},{"key":"bibr8-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.1992.16.2.68"},{"key":"bibr9-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.3.181"},{"key":"bibr10-jwem201211010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659502300608"}],"container-title":["Wilderness &amp; Environmental Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S1080603212003754?httpAccept=text\/xml","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S1080603212003754?httpAccept=text\/plain","content-type":"text\/plain","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T02:21:10Z","timestamp":1741659670000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,6]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.wem.2012.11.010","relation":{},"ISSN":["1080-6032","1545-1534"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1080-6032","type":"print"},{"value":"1545-1534","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,6]]}}}
