Traumatic brain injuries were the second most common injury among adults - however, researchers said that owners should still keep their dogs on a leash.
Having a dog on a leash whilst on a walk could lead to serious injury in adults including brain injuries, a study suggests.
Injuries that happened the most were down to the patient falling after being pulled, tangled in or tripped by the leash connected to a dog they were walking. The 20-year study noted that injuries increased by a huge amount over the time period and researchers think this may be due to the rise of dog owners.The team hopes its findings will promote awareness among dog owners and encourage doctors to discuss the possible injuries linked to dog walking.Senior author Edward McFarland said:"Clinicians should be aware of these risks and convey them to patients, especially women and older adults.
