Injury and Rehab

Question 1

4 ways inflammation helps the healing process

Answer 1

1. Control bleeding
2. Remove damaged tissue
3. Stimulate cellular response
4. Deliver substrates needed for repair

Question 2

The lymphatic system helps to decrease edema, what aids lymph circulation?

Answer 2

Movement, muscle contraction

Question 3

The most common reason that inflammation persists longer than expected

Answer 3

a premature return to training

Question 4

What are the three parts of neuromuscular control and which needs to be restored first after injury?

Answer 4

1. Control over volitional muscle action (first)
2. Reflexive reactions
3. Complex functional movements

Question 5

What affect does knee joint effusion have on the quadriceps in humans?

Answer 5

decrease neuromuscular control

Question 6

Understand the interaction of the abdominal muscles and the epaxial muscles

Answer 6

Codependent, connected by thoracolumbar fascia,

Question 7

After a distal limb injury it is important to train the _______ for proper shunt stability.

Answer 7

abdominals

Question 8

Why is proprioceptive training important for athletes?

Answer 8

Increases postural control, movement accuracy and body awareness  less injuries

Question 9

Know why it is important to keep the water moving for cold immersion

Answer 9

Moving water breaks down the thermopane (layer of water around the body part that is warmer than the rest of the water) that surrounds the immersed body part

Question 10

How long should you wait before another cooling session

Answer 10

2.5 hours

Question 11

When does the body use hypothermia to decrease oxygen consumption

Answer 11

During endotoxic shock

Question 12

How does cold therapy affect the muscle spindle cells, nerve conduction and muscle force production

Answer 12

Decreases all 3

Question 13

Does therapeutic ultrasound cool the tissue or warm the tissue

Answer 13

Warm

Question 14

How can delayed onset muscle soreness lead to secondary injury

Answer 14

The protective mechanisms evoked by DOMS increases risk of injury – muscle guarding limits the amount of muscle stretch so more load is placed on tendons. Also leads to recruitment of compensatory muscles that now are subject to injury from abnormal stress.

Question 15

Can vibration therapy improve DOMS, jump performance, and flexibility? How does it compare to moderate intensity resistance training?

Answer 15

Yes , better

Question 16

Is laser therapy a good choice for tendon injury?

Answer 16

Yes
