โฆ Synopsis
Reaction time, choice reaction time and mental ability were measured in a sample o f 123 young men. Previous musculoskeletal injuries were noted. Eight subjects who had experienced a bone fracture in the preceding 20 months had significantly longer choice reaction time and poorer mental ability test results than the non-injured. This preliminary result shows that long choice reaction time and poor performance on mental ability tests are associated with accidental musculoskeletal injuries. R/~sum~. Sur un dchantillon de 123 jeunes hommes on a bvalub le temps de rbaction, le temps de rbaction avec choix et la capacitb intellectuelle. On a notd l'existence d'antbcbdents traumatiques ostboarticulaires. Huit sujets qui avaient eu une fracture au cours des 20 mois prdcbdents prbsentaient un temps de rbaction avec choix significativement plus long et une moins bonne capacitO intellectuelle que les sujets non traumatis~s. Ce travail prbliminaire montre qu ~l existe une relation entre les lbsions accidentelles du squelette et la longueur du temps de rbaction avec choix ainsi qu'avec des rbsultats mbdiocres aux tests mesurant la capacitb intellectuelle.
