The frequent swinging of the racket in badminton can increase the burden on the shoulder joints and surrounding muscles, potentially leading to rotator cuff injuries (such as impingement syndrome) or other shoulder muscle and tendon injuries.
Regular badminton players may experience elbow problems, particularly tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), caused by repetitive forceful swings.
The use of the badminton racket places stress on the wrist and hand, making them prone to scaphoid fractures, tenosynovitis, or other soft tissue injuries.
Jumping and rapid movements can lead to knee injuries, such as meniscus tears or ligament injuries, which may require surgical treatment.
The frequent direction changes and quick starts in badminton can cause ankle sprains, especially lateral collateral ligament injuries.
Incorrect racket swing posture or movement can put stress on the spine, leading to strains or sprains in the neck, thoracic, or lumbar regions.
