injury prevention retroactive Flashcards
What is the goal of retro-active strategies?
To treat injuries as propel and efficiently as possible after they occur.
Also help prevent re-injury or reoccurrence
What are the three steps to retro-active care?
evaluation, recognition, and treatment
what is treatment?
immediate care, short (days/week), and long-term (weeks, months, years)
What are the 5 steps to evaluation and recognition?
- Primary survey
- Secondary survey
- Referral (if necessary)
- Documentation of findings
- Create a treatment plan
What is the point of the primary survey and the secondary survey?
to give you recognition of an injury
What is the primary objective of the primary survey?
To rule out a serious or life threatening condition
What is the secondary objective of the primary survey?
To understand the chief complaint (where the pain is/what is wrong)
What is done during the primary survey?
Vital signs are observed, the ABCs, and if there is a serious injury an EAP should be activated
What is done during the secondary survey?
A detailed examination of the injury and a documentation of your findings
What are the 4 steps of examination during the secondary survey (HOPS or HIPS)?
History (causes, previous injuries, etc.)
Observation/Inspection (visualize)
Palpation (feel)
Special tests (ROM, strength, stress tests, etc.)
Do you need to differentiate between structure and function during an assessment?
Yes
Structure examples
Defects, internal derangement (ex. torn ligament), active pathology (you may not always be able to see it)
Function examples
(what is it the person is able to do)
Level of dysfunction, impairments, disabilities
What are the three parts of the rehabilitation aspect of a treatment plan?
- Immediate/acute care
- Short-term
- Long-term
What should be done during the immediate/acute care of rehabilitation?
Control the symptoms aka use therapeutic modalities to protect the area
What is done during the short-term care of rehabilitation?
Phase out modalities and start therapeutic exercises
What is done during the long-term care of rehabilitation?
Get aggressive with the therapeutic exercises and then add in modalities afterward. There could be a gradual return to participation.
What are therapeutic modalities? (there are 6)
- PRICE
- Cryo-therapy
- Thermo-therapy
- Electro-therapy
- Mechanical
- Light therapy
When is the PRICE protocol used?
During the immediate or acute care. The goal is to control the acute inflammatory process
What is thermo-therapy?
Heat therapy
What are ways of using superficial heat?
Moist hot packs
Warm whirlpool
Fluido-therapy
Topical ointments
What are ways of using deep heat?
Therapeutic ultrasound
Penetrating sound waves
Thermal (deep heating)
Non-thermal (pulsating)
What are the therapeutic effects of a therapeutic massage?
-Increase perfusion of muscle tissue
-Pain relief
-Relaxation of tense muscles
-Remove swelling
What are the 4 techniques of therapeutic massage?
-Effleurage
-Petrissage/kneading
-Tapotement/percussion
-Deep tissue/friction (Rolfing)
