Q

What are the 4 goals of rehabilitation?

A
  1. Restoration of function to the greatest possible degree.
  2. Return the athlete to competition as soon as medically safe.
  3. Rehabilitate the injured body without hampering the healing process.
  4. Prevent deconditioning of the rest of the body.

Q

When planning a successful rehabilitation program, what must the athlete be told?

A
  1. Diagnosis - what’s wrong
  2. What’s going to be done to correct the problem
  3. Prognosis - prediction of the course and end of an injury, and the outlook based on that prognosis.

Q

What is exercise progression?

A

When exercises are prescribed in 1 of 4 increasing levels of difficulty depending on:

  1. type of injury/surgery
  2. severity of injury
  3. stage of tissue healing

Q

What is Passive Exercise?

A

Passive exercise is the movement of an injured body part by another person or device without any effort by the patient.

Q

What are the advantages of Passive Exercise (9)?

A
  1. Maintains ROM
  2. Prevents contractures
  3. provides sensory input to the body, stimulates muscle spindles, mechanoreceptors, proprioceptors
  4. Patient becomes mentally conscious of movement, which has psychological benefit
  5. Aids venous and lymphatic drainage
  6. Helps align collagen tissue formation and maturation
  7. Promotes the development of a more functional flexible scar
  8. Prevents degenerative joint changes, partly due to the secretion of synovial fluid
  9. Secretion of synovial fluid

Q

What does the secretion of synovial fluid aid in?

A
  1. Joint lubrication
  2. Removal of metabolic waste products
  3. Transportation of nutrients into the joint space
  4. Nourishes avascular cartilage
  5. Joint stabilization due to a pressure difference that produces a suction force
17
Q

What is Assistive Exercise?

A

Assistive Exercise is the movement of an injured body part by the patient with assistance from another person or device.

18
Q

What are the three forms of ACTIVE EXERCISE?

A
  1. Isometric
  2. Isotonic
  3. Isokinetic
19
Q

What are the THREE defining characteristics of IsoMETRIC exercise?

A
  1. Exercise is performed without any joint motion (static)
  2. Muscle length remains constant as muscle tension increases
  3. Muscle tension can be submaximal to maximal
20
Q

What are the primary ADVANTAGES of IsoMETRIC exercises?

A
  1. can be used early in rehab since there is no joint motion (soreness is usually in muscles, not soft tissue since no joint movement)
  2. Very effective increasing strength
21
Q

What are the primary DISADVANTAGES of IsoMETRIC exercises?

A
  1. Increase in muscle strength is fairly specific to the joint angle where the exercise is being performed.
  2. Difficult to provide patient motivation.
22
Q

Define IsoTONIC exercise.

A

Isotonic exercise is a when a fixed resistance is moved through a range of motion at variable speeds.

23
Q

What are the two types of Isotonic exercise?

A
  1. Concentric - shortening contraction

2. Eccentric - lengthening contraction - produces greatest amount of force

24
Q

What are the advantages of Isotonic exercises?

A
  1. Increase strength throughout range of motion

2. Motivation by achievement

25
Q

What are the DISadvantages of isotonic exercises?

A
  1. If performed too soon, can cause traumatic synovitis

2. Not safe if athlete has painful arc in ROM

26
Q

What are the advantages of IsoKINETIC exercises?

A
  1. accommodating resistance throughout ROM

2. exercise at various speeds

27
Q

What are the disadvantages of isokinetic exercises?

A
  1. Cost/Availability

2. Set up time

28
Q

What are the advantages of Closed-chain exercises?

A
  1. Provides total integration of the skeletal and neuromuscular systems
  2. Increases strength
  3. Replicates - Normal biomechanical function
  4. Replicates proprioception
29
Q

What are the three concepts of a progressive rehabilitation program?

A
  1. Isometric –> Isotonic –> Isokinetic
  2. Submaximal –> Maximal
  3. Partial –> Full ROM
30
Q

What are the subjective criteria for patient progression?

A
  1. Patient feels pain

2. Patient feels stiffness

31
Q

What are the objective criteria for patient progression?

A
  1. Strength
  2. ROM
  3. Girth measurement
  4. Temperature
  5. Redness
  6. Functional performance
