injury rehabiliation Flashcards
what are the two types of sport injuries
acute and chronic
acute injury
occurs suddenly during exercise and is normally from one single movement
examples of acute injuries
dislocation
fracture
symptoms of acute injuries
swelling
immediate pain
reduced movement
(SIR)
spiral fracture (acute injury)
occurs when torque (rotating force) is applied along the axis of a bone
all types of acute injuries (COCSBLG)
closed
open
commiuted
spiral
longitudinal
buckle
greenstick
what is a bone fracture
break or crack in bone
open fracture
when bone damages or penetrates tissue of skin
closed fracture
break remains inside skin and doesn’t damage tissue
ligaments
hold joint in place
where is most frequently dislocated
shoulder
knee
tendons
attach muscle to bone
symptoms of dislocation
deformation
pain
swelling
(DPS)
causes of dislocation
falls, heavy impacts
greenstick
-occurs in children
-bone partly fractures on one side but doesnt break
-bones are fragile and softer and easier to bend in children
commuited fracture
bone breaks into 3 or more pieces
longitudinal fracture
break that occurs along the length of the bone
buckle fracture
occurs in children
bone deforms but doesn’t break
dislocation
where ends of bones are forced out of position
strains
called ‘torn muscle’
where muscle fibres stretched too far and tear
occurs when performer accelerates and decelerates
sprains
occurs when ligament stretched too far or tears
chronic injuries
occur after long time from repeated movements
