Hi Drs,
in two years a martial arts belt test requires breaking a board with a fist strike. Is it possible to estimate the injury risk of breaking a board with fist/what injuries would be most probable? I have slight tendionopathy/pain in the metacarpophalangeal joint from time to time and are especially worried about making things worse with regard to joint pain.
I am successfully applying the pain management strategies as outlined in your articles and are fullfilling the physical activity guidelines.
With best regards
Mile
