Q

What happens during the Fibroblastic Repair Phase?

A
  • Repair and scar formation
  • Granulation tissues fills the gap
  • Collagen fibres are deposited by fibroblasts
  • Signs seen in Phase 1 subside

Q

What should you do during the Fibroblastic repair stage?

RMP

A
  • Rehab-specific exercises (restore rom and strength)
  • Manual massage therapy and ultrasound (help break down scar tissue)
  • Protective taping and bracing

Q

What happens during the Maturation Remodeling phases?

A

Remodelling or realigning of scar tissue

21
Q

What should you do during the Maturation Remodeling phase?

A
  • More aggressive stretching and strengthening
  • Include sport specific skills and activities
22
Q

What is the problem with ignoring pain? (Pain tree)

A

Ignoring pain leads to

Masking with medications / continued participation …. Leads too

Pushing injured tissue closer to yield-level point / addiction / Gastrointestinal complications

23
Q

What are the types of soft tissue injuries?

CSDFCG

A
  1. Contusions
  2. Strains and sprains
  3. Dislocations
  4. Fractures
  5. Concussions
  6. Growth plate
24
Q

What are contusions?
Signs?
Treatment?

A

Bruises

Signs / what is it:
- Discolouration
- Myostis ossificans - abnormal bone formation
- life threatening if the tissue involved is a vital organ

Treatment:
P-R-I-C-E

25
Q

What is a strain?

A

Tendon or muscle tissue stretched or torn

26
Q

What is a sprain?

A

Ligament or joint capsule is stretched or torn

27
Q

How many grades of sprains and strains are there?
What do they consist of?

A

Grade 1 - slightly stretched or torn
Grade 2 - moderately stretched or torn
Grade 3 - complete rupture, surgery required

28
Q

What is the most common strain?

A

Hamstring strain due to:
- mechanism
- strength imbalance

29
Q

What are the most common dislocations?

A

Fingers
- can become chronic

30
Q

What is subluxation?

A

When supporting structures (ligaments) are stretched or torn enough

31
Q

Types of fractures?

SCSA

A
  1. Simple fracture - stays within surrounding soft tissue
  2. Compound fracture - protrudes from the skin
  3. Stress fracture - results from repeated low magnitude loads
  4. Avulsion fracture - involves tendon or ligament pulling small chip of bone
32
Q

What are concussions?
Symptoms?
Treatment?

A

Injury to the Brain
- violent shaking, brain hitting skull

Symptoms:
- confusion
- temporary loss of normal brain functions

Treatment:
- rest

33
Q

What are overuse injuries due to?

A
  • Non sufficient recovery
  • Repeated and accumulated micro trauma
34
Q

What are overuse injuries results from?

A
  • poor technique
  • poor equipment
  • too much training
  • type of training
35
Q

What are stress fractures?

A

Repeated low magnitude forces

36
Q

Are shin splints stress fractures?

A

No

37
Q

When are growth plates most vulnerable to injury?

A

During rapid growth

38
Q

When does velocity or growth reach its maximum potential?

A

During peak height velocity (PHV)

39
Q

Females age at PHV on average?

A

12 years

40
Q

Males age at PHV on average?

A

14 years

41
Q

What is Epiphyseal?

A

Growth Cartilage

  • End of long bones
  • Under compression forces
  • Damage can be acute or chronic
42
Q

What are Apophyseal Growth plates?

A

Growth cartilage

  • Generic name for bony bumps that have tendons attached
  • Growth plate is between bump and shaft
  • Subjected to tensile forces (traction)
  • Severe pull can cause result of Avulsion fracture
43
Q

What types of forces are growth plates most vulnerable to?

A

Shear
Torsion (twisting)

44
Q

What are important Epiphyseal Growth plates?

A
  1. Distal femur (just above knee)
    - Greatest amount of growth in total leg occurs here
45
Q

A

Osgood-Schlatter’s disease

47
Q

What does inflammation of calcaneal tuberosity (apophysitis) lead too?

A

Sever’s disease

48
