Abstract
Abstract: With increasing use of golf carts and low speed vehicles (LSV) for recreational, work-related, and commuting purposes, the number of related injuries is also on the rise. The body of literature describing these injuries is informative but limited. From this scoping review, we found that, LSV related injuries preferentially affect children, older adults, and males. Common mechanisms of injury include ejection and collision. Associated alcohol consumption is common and typically related to increasing severity of injury. Various injuries may result from LSVs as described in the review, including soft tissue injuries, orthopedic injuries and TBI. Description of trends and classifications of injury will hopefully improve reporting and ability to make recommendations on safe use and regulation.
期刊介绍：
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
