Chapter 1: The Concept of Sports Injury Flashcards
Acute Injury
Injury characterized by rapid onset, resulting from a traumatic event.
Critical Force
The force at which the tissues ability to withstand stress and strain is exceeded.
Chronic Injury
Injury that developes structural damage slowly overtime.
Soft Tissue
Muscles, fascia, tendons, joint capsules, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves. Everything but bones and teeth
Sprain
Injury to a joint and surrounding structures (ligaments and joint capsules)
Strain
Injury involving muscles and tendons or the junction between the two, primarily known as musculotendis junction
Hematoma
Blood clot
Myositis Ossificans
Formulation of bone within the muscle after an injury.
Crepitation
Crackling or grinding sound heard during the movement of a broken bone or joint.
Stress- Harris Fracture
A category of fractures that involve the growth plate.
Type one of the Stress- Harris Fracture
(Slipped) when the fracture line extends through the physis or within the growth plate.
Type two of the Stress- Harris Fracture
(Above) The fracture extends through both the physis and the metaphysis
Type three of the Stress-Harris Fracture
(lower) A fracture that extends from the physis, and may result in forming two epiphyseal segments
Type four of the Stress-Harris Fracture
(Through/Tranverse) The fracture passes through the epiphysis, physis, and metaphysis
Type five of the Stress-Harris Fracture
(Rammed/Ruined) This fracture type is due to a crush or compression injury of the growth plate.
Proximal
Near or to the center
Distal
A part of the body that is farther away from the center of the body other than the main part.
Saggital PLane
A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.
Transverse Plane
Horizontal plane that divides your body from bottom to top.
Frontal Plane
A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into the anterior or posterior portions.
ABduction
Limb moves away from mid-line
ADDuction
When you move a limb/body part towards the center of your body.
Supination
Rotation of the forearm and hand so that the palm faces forward or upward and the radius lies parallel to the vina.
Inversion
A chromosomal defect in which a segment of the chromosome breaks off and reattaches in the reverse direction. Or, turning inwards.
Dorsiflexion
The ankle is being bent and the toe is raised upward.
Pronation
A rotation of the forearm that results in the palm facing posteriorly.
Eversion
The condition (as of the foot) of being turned or rotated outward
