 Abstract

Background: Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other holds. Wrestling bout is a physical competition between two competitors to attempt to gain and maintain superior position.When these wrestlers retire there are wide range of changes which take place concerning joint pain and balance which are inevitable because of their rigorous training schedule and activity. Balance is fundamental in any sport, especially in combat sports. Although balance can improve with practice, it is highly affected by vestibular disorders. One of the most evident structural change taking place in the wrestlers is the cauliflower ear, which is an acquired deformity of the outer ear caused by blunt trauma or grappling techniques used in the sport. It is an irreversible condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear is hit continuously and develops a blood clot or other collection of fluid under the perichondrium. A fibrous tissue is formed overlying the skin, which results in the outer ear becoming swollen and deformed, resembling a cauliflower.{8} This acquired deformity can cause long term functional complications in hearing which may further lead to hearing loss or impairment. It is an irreversible condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear is hit continuously and develops a blood clot ,this can lead permanent or temporary hearing loss. Apart from the affection of hearing, there are many changes in the musculoskeletal system taking place after the wrestler retires such knee pain and chronic low back pain. Thus, all these factors cumulatively affect the person's balance and resulting in the increased fall risk. Methodology: A Randomised control trial was done in which 60 wrestlers in the age group 40- 70 years having cauliflower ear in Pune were recruited for this study and were selected by Random sampling method. Wrestlers having recent fractures, surgeries and females were excluded from the study. Consent was taken from the subjects for participation. Balance was analysed using dynamic gait index and vestibular dysfunction was analysed by dix hallpike test. Data was collected, a statistical analysis was performed and results were obtained. Results: The study was conducted on 68 participresults.ving cauliflower ear, the results were Conclusion: s a whole and also by dividing the population into subgroups according to age. For the balance, 27 participants showed positive for increased fall risk. In the subgroups, 40-50 years 8% , in 51-60 years 34% whereas in 61-70 years 58% showed increased fall risk. For vestibular dysfunction, out of 60 , 13 were positive for the vestibular dysfunction. In the subgroups analysis, in 40-50 years 8%, 51-60 years 15%, wheKeywords-61-70 years 77% showed positive results. Conclusion: The study shows that clinically there is a prevalence of fall risk and vestibular dysfunction using dynamic gait index and dix hall pike test but, statistically it does not show prevalence for fall risk and vestibular dysfunction.
