Lecture 1 And 2 Flashcards
What does SEM stand for? What kind of team are they?
Sport and Exercise Medicine
Multi-disciplinary team of sport science,sport medicine and sport performance professionals
SEM TEAM IS AKA and what is their goal
IST (integrated support team)
Their goal is to ensure that athletes are healthy, fit and mentally ready for optimal performance
Who is involved in SEM team
Physician ( can be specialized in sport)
Therapist ( can also be physio)
Strength and conditioning coach
Exercise Physiologist
Sport psychologist
Bio mechanist
Nutritionist
role of physician
-diagnosing the athletes condition and prescribing the treatment, making guidelines for treatment
role of athletic therapist
prevention, management and rehabilitation of injuries,
role of physiotherapist
prevention, management and rehabilitation of injuries, rehabilitation of more serious injuries/rehab after surgery
strength and conditioning coach
establishing and maintaining strength and conditioning program, design training programs and teaching skills
exercise physiologist
exercise prescription, fitness, and clinical stress tests with equipment
sport psychologist
help athletes to cope with competitive fears, mental skills, preparing for RTS how to handle emotions after setbacks etc
biomechanist
bio-mechanical assessment to enhance performance and prevent injury
nutritionist
education of athletes and support staff on how nutrition can enhance performance, prevent injury
SEM specialist must follow
the scope of practice and standard on care
scope of practice
describes the services that a qualified healthcare professional is deemed competent to perform and permitted to undertake in keeping with the terms of their professional license
medical treatment guideline
specifies appropriate treatment based on scientific evidence and collaboration between medical and or psychological professionals involved in the treatment of a given condition
in the SEM team alongside the athlete who is involved in decisions
coach
everyone in the SEM team is trying to help athlete achieve what
peak performance and recovery from injuries
risk management and it’s different levels
process of identifying risks, risk assessment, risk evaluation and risk control
Different Levels- within sport, club/team level and at the individual levels
risk assessment
process of measurement / estimation of risks to teams and athletes,need to be aware of what risks, injuries or illnesses present
risk evaluation
involves determining the significance and acceptability of the risks evaluating severity of injuries conditions start thinking how to control the risk
risk control
is a process of identifying and implementing methods to control the risks and the consequences, how these injuries occur what are the risk factors how to prevent them from happening again
risk matrix
go to lecture slide number 10
-this graph outlines to us what injuries we should focus on when trying to control the risk factors on a scale of severity (y axis) and likelihood (x axis) with the points being associated injury and gender
Different levels of risk management
-within/across sport
-club/team level
-individual level (providing a individual training program
Risk management system involves what 8 processes
1.injury surveillance
2.seasonal analysis
3.preseason screening
4.monitoring “at risk” team members
5.return to sport
6.education
7.equiptment and facilities
8.emergency action plan (EAP0
What is injury surveillance
-system of recording illnesses/injuries (typical illness detection)
What is season analysis
When the SEM team researches and plans a program to deal with typical seasonal injuries as well as in adapting to different training injuries
What is Preseason screening
Try to find which athletes are more likely to be injured, do they have any chronic injuries? They test different strength levels, muscle imbalances, flexibility and with this taken into consideration they tailor a program for the athlete
How do they monitor “at risk” team members
Taping
Describe return to sport
-decision made with coach and therapist
Describe education involved with creating an effective risk management team
-involve educating all team members on purpose of recovery strategies and risks
Elaborate on equipment and facilities involved in creating an effective risk management system for a team
-ensuring proper equipment,protective gear involved in minimizing the risk of impact related injuries
Elaborate on how an EAP is used when creating an effective risk management system in a SEM team
Provides a structured step by step plan that ensures quick and appropriate responses to emergencies such as injury, medical crisis’ involving clear communication that every single person in the SEM team is aware of
Everyday risk management involves 3 main components
- Environment
- Equipment
3.Athlete
What is involved in everyday risk management associated with the environment
-field and surroundings
-weather conditions
-emergency action plan
What is involved with the equipment in everyday risk management
-protective equipment
-special training equipment
-first aid kit
-AED
What is involved in everyday risk management associated with athletes
-the medical issues
-previous injuries
-training history
-age (youth or adult athletes)
-sex (different sexes have associated common injuries)
Equipment and environment are both associate with the ——- in everyday risk management
Safety
Focusing on the athlete in everyday risk management involves
Understanding individual athletes
Risk compensation
Used to be describe a possible change in behaviour in an athlete when they use protective equipment, the person will assess the level of risk and if they assess that the protective equipment reduces that risk they will undertake more extreme behaviour (minimize risk)
What 3 things should we do when a medical problem arises
1.be prepared
2. EAP is critical to facilitate a rapid and effective response to an emergency
3. EAP should be prepared for practice and competition sites
Emergencies include
- sudden cardiac arrest
- exertions a heat stroke
- spinal injuries
- head injuries
- traumatic injuries
Which emergency is the leading cause
Sudden cardiac arrest
What is involved in an EAP
- charge person (athletic therapist); always in practice and at competition
-call person (someone with a cellphone with important phone numbers, (ems, facility manager and instructions to ems on how to reach the facility)
-First Aid Kit
-Automated External Defibrillator
-Ambulation aid (crutches, wheelchair ,spine board)
First aid kits contain
1.communication sheet
2.information where AED,spine board etc are located
3.player/staff medical profile cards
What does a communication sheet contain
-important phone numbers
-address of facility,access to directions and maps s
-nearest hospital directions
Player and staff medical profile cards contain
-name and emergency contact information
-medical profile (exp asthma and allergies)
Activate EAP immediately if the person
- Is not breathing
- Does not have a pulse
- Is bleeding profusely
- Has impaired consciousness
- Has injured the back,neck or head
- Has a visible major trauma
- Cannot move arms or legs ( or has lost feeling in them)
Emergency Action Plan for sudden cardiac arrest in sport
- EAP coordinator
- Immediate AED access; needs to be close to field/location of game/training within 3 minutes away
- Trained personnel and annual practice
- Communication system (all team members are trained for emergencies)
- Venue specific EAP
- Medical timeout before each completion between home and visiting team
- Maintenance and monthly checks of AEDS
What is the SOAP method
A method of documentation
-a standardized way to store medical information
What does SOAP stand for
Subjective information ( what the athlete tells us )
Objective information ( what is observed )
Assessment
Plan ( based on assessment on what action should be taken )
