Peripheral nerve injury,due to either trauma or entrapment,is common in many sports.In one large orthopedic survey 5.7%of all peripheral nerve injuries were sports-related.Nerve injury has only rarely been reported in association with weight lifting.We report 6 recreational weight lifters who developed localized motor nerve injury.All had sudden and painless weakness,followed by atrophy,in a muscle supplied by a terminal motor nerve branch(Table 1). |
