Ch. 20 Rehabilitation and Reconditioning Flashcards
team physician
provides medical care to an organization or team
athletic trainer
the person typically responsible for the day-to-day physical health of the athlete
physical therapist
plays a valuable role in reducing pain and restoring function to the injured athlete
strength and conditioning professional
plays a valuable role within the sports medicine team and is integral to the rehabilitation and reconditioning process
exercise physiologist
has a formal background in the study of the exercise sciences and uses his or her expertise to assist with the design of a conditioning program that carefully considers the body’s metabolic response to exercise and the ways in which that reaction aids the healing process
nutritionist
can help recovery by guiding food choices
psychologist
can help athletes when they are mentally traumatized as well
indication
a form of treatment required by the rehabilitating athlete
contraindication
an activity or practice hat is inadvisable or prohibited due to the given injury
macrotrauma
a specific, sudden episode of overload injury to a given tissue, resulting in disrupted tissue integrity
dislocation
complete displacement of the joint surfaces
subluxation
partial displacement of the joint surfaces
sprain
ligamentous trauma
first degree sprain
partial tear of the ligament without increased joint instability
second degree sprain
partial tear with minor joint instability
third degree sprain
complete tear with full joint instability
contusion
musculotendinous direct trauma
muscle strains
tears of muscle fibers and are further assigned grade or degrees
microtrauma
overuse injury, results from repeated, abnormal stress applied to a tissue by continuos training or training with too little recovery time
Tendinitis
an inflammation of a tendon
inflammation
the body’s initial reaction to injury and is necessary for normal healing to occur
edema
the escape of fluid into the surrounding tissues
repair
begins after the inflammatory phase ends
remodeling
when the weakened tissue produced during the repair phase is strengthened
proprioception
an afferent response to stimulation of sensory receptors in skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the joint capsule
neuromuscular control
the ability of muscle to respond to afferent proprioceptive information to maintain joint stability
closed kinetic chain
an exercise in which the terminal joint meets with considerable resistance that prohibits or restrains free motion i.e. squats and the floor
open kinetic chain
an exercise where the terminal joint is free to move, leg extension machine
daily adjustable progressive resistive exercise (DAPRE)
requires and allows more manipulation of intensity and volume; involves four sets, with repetitions ranging from 10 to possibly one during the final set
