Kines 411 Exam 1 Flashcards
PTA
Post-traumatic Amnesia
LOC
Loss of consciousness
Contemporary Concussion Assessment
Symptoms, Neurocognitive assessment, balance assessment, cranial nerve assessment
Cumulative symptoms
ex: same hit causes 2x worse symptoms or less of a hit causes the same symptoms following a concussion
5 A’s
Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Audit
SAID Principle
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand; body adapts to stress and overload
Evidence-Based Practice
patient centered, validate practices, change practice with advances, provides accountability, uses concensus of scientific research
Overload
1) increase weight with increments
2) increase reps with same weight
3) increase rate with same weight
Sports Medicine Rehab
-aggressive approach
-competitive nature necessitates aggressiveness
-quick, safe, effective
-pushing too hard or not hard enough may have negative impact
Tight-rope approach
-overload but know limitations
-know the healing process
-modify inflammation response (timing), ice immediately
Early rehab
submax exercises in short bouts repeated several times daily
Late rehab
intensity increase, frequency decrease
Psychological aspects of rehab
emotional response, pain threshold, competitiveness, cooperation, depression/fear/anger/guilt
Pathomechanics
KT tape in opposite position to provide stability ex: taping ankle in dorsiflexion and eversion to avoid going opposite direction to hurt it
Kinetic Chain
muscular system, articular system, neural system
-each works together to provide structural and functional efficiency
-CNS facilitates neuromuscular control by sorting info from all 3 systems
Manual Therapy
joint mobilization, massage therapy (cross-friction, Granston technique)
Positives: good results
Negatives: time-consuming
Therapeutic Modeling
something that is done that optimizes environment for rehab
ex: heat packs, ice packs, infrared, ultra sound
Ultrasound benefits
heat to deeper structures than heat packs, but must move around instead of keep in one place
Electric stim
-timing, help with neural control, modifies pain, blocks the pain message (TENS units)
Short-Term Rehab Goals
-Re-establish core stability (appendages come off trunk)
-Range of Motion
-Progressive resistance exercise
-Cardio
POLICE
Protection, Optimal Loading, Ice, compression, elevation
Ice packs
pain modifier, makes secondary cells membrane thicker (lowers interstitial fluid which decreases pressure), 25 min at least
Compression
fluid dynamics, push fluid out (away from pressure), not too tight (reduces blood flow)
Elevation
fluid runs down away from injured area, gravity working
Joint Position Sense
Mirror therapy, ROM, Progressions
Progression in Rehab
ex: heel raises at first to hops
ex: running in straight line then cutting/changing directions
ex: 1/2 speed to full speed
Functional Progression
Stabilization –> Strength –> Power
-progression based on response
-strength = force
-power = rate of force
Stabilization
correct muscle imbalances, prevent tissues for physical demands
-should progress from isometric to multi-planar
Recruiting Joint Stabilizers
improves neuro-muscular efficiency, core stability, functional strength and flexibility
Strength goals
progressive resistance exercises
goals: -challenge neuromuscular system
-increase cross-sectional diameter of muscle
-increase resistance to fatigue
-increase stabilization strength
-increase motor unit recruitment
-overcome scar tissue
Functional Testing
assesses ability to perform specific activity
ex: agility runs, vertical jumps, co-contraction tests
Factors for Returning to Play
-physiological health constraints
-pain status
-swelling
-range of motion
-strength
-neuromuscular control
-cardio
-sport-specific demand
-psychological factors
Evaluation Process
-Onsite eval @ time of injury
-onsite eval just following injury
-off site eval involving injury assessment and rehab plan
-follow up eval during rehab
-pre participation physicals
Systemic Differential Eval Process
Subjective: injury history and symptoms reported by patient
Objective: observation, palpation, ROM, strength, Special tests, neurological assessment, functional tests
Subjective eval
history of injury: patients impression, description of how it occurred and location and level of discomfort
site of injury: location and pain, consider normal, provoked, and pathologic tissue to develop plan
Behavior of Symptoms
-details
-quality
-regions
-severity
-timing
Objective eval
Visual inspection: gait, carrying position, muscle guarding, etc.
-bilateral comparison
-postural alignment
-ROM eliminate edema
-Signs of trauma (swelling, infection, bruising)
-Palpation (trigger pts, tenderness, tissue quality)
ROM
passive, active, against resistance
-compare bilaterally
Active ROM
patient contracts and moves themselves
