title: Physiotherapy at the XII Commonwealth Games Part II: Injuries and Management.
abstract: At the XII Commonwealth Games held in Brisbane in 1982, Australian physiotherapists as members of the host nation's medical division, treated the injuries of competitors from the ten sports contested. The nature and incidence of the injuries treated by the host physiotherapists is tabulated and comment is made regarding several significant features. Implications for the management skills of physiotherapists required either to travel with teams or work as host physiotherapists are made. Furthermore, the utilization of equipment is indicated. Overall the paper provides a resource to assist in future planning for such events in respect to physiotherapy manpower, expertise and equipment needs.
