Recovery time after climbing injuries by treatment type
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study asks indoor climbers who had an arm, hand, or shoulder injury in the past year about their recovery. It compares how long recovery takes with different treatments, like physical therapy or surgery, to help future climbers know what to expect.
