Q

Why is swelling necessary for the body to heal?

A
  • body​ ​sending​ ​chemical​ ​mediators​ ​to​ ​injury​ ​area​ ​to​ ​help​ ​clean​ ​everything​ ​up​ ​(damage, debris​ ​tissue)
  • goal​ ​is​ ​to​ ​get​ ​rid​ ​of​ ​all​ ​damaged​ ​tissue​ ​from​ ​area​ ​and​ ​bring​ ​all​ ​chemicals​ ​towards​ ​area that​ ​help​ ​with​ ​healing

Q

What is chronic inflammation?

A
  • inflammation goes on for too long
  • can​ ​be​ ​because​ ​you​ ​are​ ​continuing​ ​to re-aggravate​ ​the​ ​injury​ ​(more​ ​swelling)
  • can​ ​be​ ​because​ ​you​ ​are​ ​not​ ​taking​ ​care​ ​of​ ​it (RICE)
  • allows​ ​body​ ​to​ ​re-aggravate​ ​the​ ​swelling
  • eventually becomes weaker joint

Q

What is Wolffs Law?

A
  • Need​ ​to​ ​have​ ​stress​ ​on​ ​an​ ​injured​ ​tissue​ ​to​ ​force​ ​it​ ​to​ ​get​ ​better​ ​(regardless​ ​of​ ​what​ ​the
    tissue​ ​is)
  • Need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​safe​ ​stress

  • from​ ​3-4​ ​weeks​ ​through​ ​18-24​ ​months
  • If​ ​the​ ​injury​ ​site​ ​was​ ​immobilized​ ​for​ ​some​ ​time,​ ​this​ ​process​ ​would​ ​be​ ​longer
  • If​ ​you​ ​had​ ​surgery,​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​restart​ ​the​ ​process
30
Q

Describe pain, and how it affects rehab.

A
  • Perception​ ​of​ ​pain​ ​can​ ​be​ ​controlling​ ​factor​ ​injury​ ​healing​ ​with​ ​an​ ​athlete
  • Not​ ​the​ ​factor​ ​the​ ​starts​ ​or​ ​stops​ ​rehab
  • Happens​ ​when​ ​specific​ ​nerve​ ​fibres​ ​in​ ​our​ ​body​ ​get​ ​torn/damaged/impacted;​ ​Nociceptors
    are​ ​free​ ​nerve​ ​endings​ ​=​ ​what​ ​causes​ ​you​ ​pain
31
Q

What can you get pain from?

A
  • pressure​ ​(swelling)
  • burning​ ​(thermo-type​ ​receptor)
  • cooling
32
Q

What are the 4 categories of pain?

A
  • cutaneous pain
  • pain from muscles/ligaments/tendons
  • bone pain
  • internal organ pain
33
Q

Describe cutaneous pain.

A

​- at​ ​surface​ ​of​ ​skin

  • usually​ ​sharp​ ​or​ ​burning​ ​sensation
  • very​ ​localized, easy​ ​to​ ​point​ ​out
34
Q

Describe pain from muscles/ligaments/tendons.

A

​- deeper,​ ​aching​ ​feel

  • ​bleeding​ ​=​ ​throbbing
  • ​vague location
35
Q

Describe bone pain.

A
  • ​deep,​ ​“deep​ ​aching​ ​toothache”
  • generally​ ​creates​ ​nausea
  • ​more​ ​intense​ ​pain
36
Q

Describe internal organ pain.

A
  • generally​ ​referred​ ​pain​ ​(ex.​ ​Heart​ ​attack:​ ​shoulder/arm​ ​hurts)
  • either really​ ​dispersed​ ​area,​ ​or​ ​area​ ​far​ ​away
  • Pain​ ​=​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​oxygen
37
Q

What is acute pain?

A
  • ​lasts​ ​less​ ​than​ ​6​ ​months​ ​(into​ ​the​ ​first​ ​part​ ​of​ ​maturation​ ​phase)
  • Normal​ ​to have​ ​pain​ ​and​ ​discomfort​ ​with​ ​some​ ​activity
38
Q

What is chronic pain?

A
  • past​ ​6​ ​months

- generally​ ​have​ ​other​ ​issues​ ​going​ ​on​ ​beyond​ ​physical injury

39
Q

How can we control pain?

A
  • Manual​ ​therapy
  • ultrasound/razor
  • Currents​ ​(used​ ​mainly​ ​for​ ​pain​ ​and​ ​swelling,​ ​gate​ ​control​ ​theory)
40
Q

What is gate control theory?

A
  • Body​ ​can​ ​only​ ​feel​ ​one​ ​sensation​ ​from​ ​one​ ​area​ ​at​ ​a​ ​time
  • Touch​ ​over​ ​top​ ​of​ ​pain​ ​spot​ ​will​ ​force​ ​the​ ​brain​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​the​ ​touch​ ​instead​ ​of
    the​ ​pain,​ ​because​ ​touch​ ​changes
41
Q

What is referred pain?

A
  • Cross​ ​over​ ​of​ ​nerves,​ ​pain​ ​travels​ ​farther​ ​away
  • The​ ​farther​ ​the​ ​pain,​ ​the​ ​worse​ ​the​ ​condition
  • Pain​ ​from​ ​farther​ ​away​ ​can​ ​eventually​ ​become​ ​a​ ​second​ ​injury;​ ​Pain​ ​= body​ ​treats​ ​it​ ​like​ ​something​ ​is​ ​wrong,​ ​muscles​ ​spasm
  • Pain​ ​from​ ​far​ ​away​ ​can​ ​distract​ ​from​ ​real​ ​injury
42
Q

Name 6 things that make you more susceptible to injury.

A
  • Tired
  • Smoking
  • Improper​ ​form
  • Improper​ ​posture
  • Improper​ ​warm​ ​up/cool​ ​down
  • Genetic​ ​factors​ ​(conditions,​ ​weaker​ ​ligaments,​ ​tall/short,​ ​muscle​ ​fibre​ ​types,​ ​lifestyle)
43
Q

How can we speed up healing?

A
  • Medications​ ​(decrease​ ​pain,​ ​decrease​ ​swelling,​ ​decrease​ ​spasm)
  • Modalities
  • Exercise
44
Q

Name 6 modalities.

A
  • cryotherapy
  • thermotherapy
  • contrast bath
  • ultrasound
  • laser

45
Q

What is the general rule for heat and cold?

A
  • pain = ice
  • stiff = heat
  • if you can’t tell, go with ice. It won’t make anything worse
46
Q

Describe cryotherapy.

A
  • cold​ ​(ice​ ​pack,​ ​ice​ ​bath,​ ​ice​ ​massage)
  • Reduce​ ​swelling​ ​(vasoconstriction:​ ​constricting​ ​blood​ ​vessels​ ​so​ ​that​ ​you can’t​ ​get​ ​circulation​ ​to​ ​the​ ​area)
  • 4​ ​sensations:​ ​cold​ ​(skin),​ ​burn​ ​(nerves),​ ​ache​ ​(deeper​ ​tissues),​ ​numb (nothing)​ ​(typically​ ​takes​ ​7​ ​minutes​ ​to​ ​get​ ​through​ ​all​ ​4,​ ​all​ ​structures)
47
Q

What is the general prescription (time) for cryotherapy?

A
  • General​ ​rule:​ ​20​ ​minutes​ ​on,​ ​1​ ​hour​ ​off

- 1​ ​hour​ ​off​ ​=​ ​everything​ ​comes​ ​back​ ​to​ ​feeling​ ​before​ ​doing​ ​it​ ​again​ ​to avoid​ ​frostbite

48
Q

Describe thermotherapy.

A
  • Heat​ ​(hot​ ​pack,​ ​hot​ ​bath,​ ​infrared​ ​lights)
  • Vasodilation:​ ​bring​ ​blood​ ​to​ ​area
  • Muscle​ ​spasm,​ ​try​ ​to​ ​flush​ ​out​ ​what​ ​is​ ​causing​ ​the​ ​spasm
49
Q

What is the general prescription (time) for thermotherapy?

A

no time limit for heat

50
Q

Describe contrast bath.

A
  • combination of hot and cold, back and forth
  • back and forth between constricting and dilating
  • creates muscle pump = tight, relaxing
  • For​ ​too​ ​much​ ​swelling​ ​or​ ​swelling​ ​has​ ​been​ ​there​ ​for​ ​too​ ​long
51
Q

When do we use contrast bath?

A
  • Commonly​ ​after​ ​days​ ​3-5​ ​when​ ​there​ ​is​ ​still​ ​too​ ​much​ ​swelling
  • Will​ ​not​ ​use​ ​a​ ​contrast​ ​bath​ ​before​ ​day​ ​3​ ​(we​ ​want​ ​inflammation​ ​up​ ​to​ ​that point)
52
Q

What is the general prescription (time) for contrast bath?

A
  • generally​ ​1​ ​min.​ ​and​ ​hot,​ ​1​ ​min.​ ​in​ ​cold,​ ​and​ ​back​ ​and​ ​forth​ ​for​ ​15 minutes
  • need​ ​to​ ​put​ ​area​ ​up​ ​after​ ​15​ ​minutes​ ​to​ ​drain
53
Q

Describe ultrasound.

A
  • Sound​ ​wave​ ​that​ ​goes​ ​into​ ​tissue
  • creates​ ​heat​ ​from​ ​the​ ​inside​ ​out
  • vibrates​ ​cells​ ​(helps​ ​break​ ​down​ ​scar​ ​tissue)
  • Tends​ ​to​ ​be​ ​subacute​ ​modality
  • Should​ ​never​ ​feel​ ​anything
54
Q

When shouldn’t we use ultrasound?

A
  • head​ ​injuries​ ​or​ ​bone​ ​injuries​ ​(fractures,​ ​breaks)
  • in​ ​acute​ ​phase​ ​of​ ​injury​ ​because​ ​we​ ​do​ ​not​ ​need​ ​any​ ​more heat
55
Q

Describe laser.

A
  • Gives​ ​energy​ ​to​ ​the​ ​cell​ ​that​ ​are​ ​damaged
  • Turns​ ​all​ ​the​ ​cells​ ​that​ ​aren’t​ ​working​ ​back​ ​on
  • Helps​ ​speed​ ​healing
  • Should​ ​never​ ​hurt,​ ​may​ ​feel​ ​warm
56
Q

When shouldn’t we use laser?

A
  • ​in​ ​eyes
  • in​ ​cancerous​ ​tumor​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​giving​ ​it​ ​more​ ​energy​ ​than
    they​ ​already​ ​have
57
Q

Describe electrical current.

A
  • TENS:​ ​buzzing​ ​sensation

- Muscle​ ​stimulation:​ ​creates​ ​contraction​ ​in​ ​muscle,​ ​used​ ​post​ ​surgery​ ​or spinal​ ​cord​ ​injury

58
Q

What is interferential current?

A
  • 4​ ​pads​ ​on​ ​at​ ​1​ ​time
  • Decreases​ ​pain​ ​(gate​ ​control theory)
  • Can​ ​be​ ​turned​ ​up​ ​high​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​create​ ​muscle​ ​contraction (decrease​ ​spasm,​ ​make​ ​a​ ​muscle​ ​fire,​ ​fatigue​ ​a​ ​muscle)
  • Has​ ​effect​ ​on swelling,​ ​can​ ​make​ ​it​ ​move.

A
  1. Full,​ ​pain​ ​free​ ​ROM
  2. At​ ​least​ ​90%​ ​strength​ ​of​ ​the​ ​injured​ ​area
  3. Need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​safely​ ​do​ ​the​ ​functional​ ​pieces​ ​of​ ​your​ ​sport
