Q

Passive vs Active Movement

A

Passive: total range of motion and articulation can be moved without muscle action
- more ROM than active
Active: the total range of motion an articulation can be moved by active muscle action

Q

What are the three parts of negligence?

A
  1. Duty Exists- the defendant has responsibility for caring for the injury (based on the standard of care)
  2. Breach of Duty- did not act up to ability/training, acted beyond ability/training, your care/lack of is a direct cause of injury
  3. Resultant Damages Occured- injury occurred (physical/psychological), and the injury was caused by the breach of duty (causation)

Q

What is the athlete’s responsibility in the sports medicine team?

A

The athletes’ responsibility is to focus on conditioning; cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nutritional. Furthermore, it is to follow the directions given to them by other members of the team. Lastly, to report problems.

20
Q

How does the heart adapt to a training regimen?

A

The heart adapts to a training regimen by increasing cardiac output. The heart pumps more blood per contraction (higher stroke volume). You can increase cardiac output by making your muscles stronger, causing your ventricular walls to increase in thickness and strength to push blood. This causes your heart rate to decrease allowing for more blood to fill in the ventricles between contractions. Formula: CO=SVxHR.

21
Q

What are the different types of stretching?

A

Dynamic: warm up and stretch muscles mimicking movements in sports or activity
Static: stretch and hold
Ballistic: bounce
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation: stretch, resist, stretch

22
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of heat stroke?

A

Signs/Symptoms-
Core temperature is extremely high (>104 degrees F)
Skin is hot, dry (or wet), and very red
CNS dysfunction- altered LOC, unconsciousness
Nausea/Vomiting
Severe dehydration
How to care-
Call EMS, severe condition
Remove from heat, cool immediately
Immerse in an ice bath
Manage head/airway
Monitor breathing and pulse

23
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion?

A

Signs/Symptoms-
Temperature near normal
Skin warm, cool, and wet
Dizziness, nausea, fatigue
Possible chills
Fatigue
Possible altered mental status
How to care-
Remove from heat (shade/climate-controlled room)
Cool body with water (wet towels, air-conditioned room, fan if needed)
Give fluids
May require a few days to recover from fatigue

24
Q

What is the function of the diaphragm?

A

The function of the diaphragm is inspiration (contraction- increased volume/decreased pressure, air flows in to equalize pressure between cavities and atmospheric air) and expiration (relaxation- decreased volume/increased pressure). The diaphragm is the primary muscle used to create air pressure change for respiration. Located below pleural (lung) cavities and divides the thoracic and abdominal activities.

25
Q

What are the different types of muscle contractions?

A

Isometric: muscle stays the same length, no joint movement, increased strength at the degree applied
Isotonic: same resistance/variable speed of action, joint movement occurs
Isokinetic: same speed/variable resistance, rehab
Eccentric: positive, muscle fibers shorten, causing movement
Concentric: negative, muscle fibers lengthen against resistance

26
Q

What percentages and caloric values of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids does one need in their diet?

A

Carbohydrates: 45-65%, 4 cal/gm
Protein: 20-35%, 4 cal/gm
Fats: 10-35%, 9 cal/gm

27
Q

What organs are found in the four different abdominal quadrants?

A

Upper Right: liver gallbladder, right kidney
Upper Left: spleen, stomach, pancreas, left kidney
Lower Right: appendix, intestines
Lower Left: intestines

28
Q

What should the breakdown of carbohydrates, protein, and fats be for a pre-event meal?

A

Emphasis on what is eaten in the previous 3-4 days
Minimum 3-4 hours prior
Carbohydrates: increase to >85%
Protein/Fats: decrease to <15%

29
Q

What is McBurney’s point and what organ can be found there?

A
