Abstract

Jiu-jitsu fighting techniques are characterized by the imposition of brute force which, coupled to bio-mechanical principles, optimizes the fighter´s muscular strength, vanquishes the opponent and uses the physical valences of the former against himself. Current analysis identifies the occurrence of wrist and hand lesions and analyzes pain in jiu-jitsu practitioners. Current field, descriptive and qualitative-quantitative research was undertaken with 6 participants evaluated through hand pressure, wrist goniometry, Phalen and Finkelstein test and the application of the Analogic Visual Scale, body diagram and McGill questionnaire (Br-MPQ). Four Phalen tests were positive; two Finkelstein tests were positive and two practitioners did not manifest any lesion. The sample´s hand-palm pressure force revealed an average of 54.83±6.85 for the right hand and 52.83±6.01 for the left hand. All practitioners had alterations in one or more movements of the wrist articulations. Assessment of pain showed that jiu-jitsu practitioners indicated pain in two or more body regions
