Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This paper describes a case of a 52-year-old male patient with spinal cord injury caused by doing push-up exercises in the prone position. To our knowledge, no previous report has been published describing a case of spinal cord injury caused by push-up exercise. These days, sport is recommended not only to the young but also to older persons. However, to the older, who inevitably have some degenerative disease, moderation should be recommended.
