3rd Quarter Exam Flashcards
Forces that act away from the center of the structure, causing a pull or stretch.
Tensile forces
Forces that impact the center causing it to bend or fold.
Compressive forces
Forces toward the different ends of the structure causing it to twist.
Shear forces
What injuries have signs and symptoms (e.g., pain, swelling) that manifest immediately after force application?
Acute
What injuries have signs and symptoms that occur after a long period of exposure to the force?
Chronic/overuse
What classification of risk factors of injury includes age and gender?
Non-modifiable
What classification of risk factors of injury includes tournament rules and apparels?
Modifiable
What classification of risk factor includes individual factors?
Intrinsic
What classification of risk factor includes environmental forces or factors?
Extrinsic
What is the most common intrinsic risk factor where the muscle becomes a little too tight?
Muscle imbalance between muscle pairs, such as quadriceps-hamstrings
What is a high Q angle has been associated with?
acute injuries to the knee joint
What are the four acute injuries?
Sprain, strain, fracture, dislocation
What is the common cause of sprains?
Twisting or pulling force
What is the common cause of strains?
Pulling force during rapid force acceleration?
What is the common cause of fractures?
Falling or breaking a fall
What is the common cause of dislocations?
Falling or breaking a fall
What are the four overuse injuries?
Tendinopathy, bursitis, osteoarthritis, stress fracture
What is the common cause of stress fracture?
Repetitive high impact stress
What is the common cause of tendinopathy?
Repetitive movement using poor technique
What is the common cause of osteoarthritis?
Repetitive high impact stress
What is the common cause of bursitis?
Repetitive movement using poor technique
They are overstretched ligaments.
Sprains
These stabilize and limit joint mobility.
Ligaments
What happens when the
joint is forced into a position beyond its normal range?
The ligament is overstretched.
