Prevalence of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis in Recreational Badminton Players

Abstract Background: Recreational badminton involves repetitive wrist and thumb movements that may predispose players to overuse injuries such as De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. Despite its clinical relevance, limited data exist on the prevalence of this condition among recreational badminton players.
Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 100 recreational badminton players aged 18–40 years. Participants were assessed using the Finkelstein Test to identify De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. Pain intensity was recorded using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and associations with gender, hand dominance, and grip type were analyzed.
Results: The prevalence of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis was found to be 17%. Affected players reported mild to moderate pain (mean NPRS ≈ 5). The condition was more common in females, universally present in right-hand dominant players, and most prevalent among those using a forehand grip.
Conclusion: De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is moderately prevalent among recreational badminton players and is strongly associated with repetitive wrist use and grip technique. Early screening, ergonomic grip correction, wrist strengthening, and preventive physiotherapy should be emphasized to reduce injury risk.
