36
Q

At what weight can you repeat an exercise forever?

A

15% weight of 1RM

37
Q

correct person for a job?

A

physical demands - what forces can they generate

38
Q

3 ways to prevent work place injuries

A

change yourself - strength
change the task
change administrative - relief positions and reduce exposure, or switch your hands

39
Q

racquet material

A

graphite composites - best in torsion and vibration controil

40
Q

head size of racquet

A

midsize (95-110 square inches), oversize susceptible to arm injuries with increased torque effects of shots hit off centre

41
Q

string tension of racquet

A

lower end of recommendation - higher control but more torque and vibration

42
Q

stringing material of racquet

A

synthetic nylon every 6 m

43
Q

grip size of racquet

A

too large/small lessen control and promote excessive wrist movement - from mid palm to tip of fingers

44
Q

golfers elbow
MOI
s&s
management

A

medial epicondylitis
forceful/cont flexion and pronation - raquet sports, golf, piano for common flexor tendon
micro tears due to eccentric loading and poor blood supply
pain, pain with resisted forearm flexion, decreased grip strength, tight with stretching elbow and wrist flexors, may spread down forearm
PIER, NSAIDS, brace, address mechanics, stretch flexor, brace for new insertion pt of muslce

45
Q

olecranon bursitis
S&S
management

A

students elbow
inflammation of bursa
localized swelling, TOP for acute and septic, no TOP for bursa, pain
PIER, mechanics for chronic, pad

46
Q

3 types of bursitis

A

acute - direct trauma
chronic - most common due to repetitive trauma
septic - infection

47
Q

UCL sprain

management

A

sprain or tear, overuse in throwing
pain, instability, dysfunction, swelling, tingling/numbness - lack of full extension
PIER, compression base, strengthen when cleared to play

48

sublux nerve over medial epi, muscular compression of triceps, UCL instability, overuse in flexion or extension
pain, paresthesia of 4th and 5th fingers, weak grip, snapping/popping of medial elbow, TOP esp with hyperflexion
no PIER due to neurological symptoms, stretch and strengthen, MD for cortisone which reduce inflammation but makes everything lax - 3 shots/site increase chance of rupture
