Common Injuries in Lower Limbs
Hip & Groin • Femoral Acetabular impingement • Labral Tear Thigh Conditions: • Adductor Strain • Hamstring Strain • Bursitis • Osteitis Pubis • Rectus Femoris Strain
Knee Conditions Traumatic Knee Conditions: • MCL • LCL • PCL • ACL • Meniscal Injuries • Patella dislocation Overuse Knee Conditions: • Patello-femoral pain syndrome • Patella Tendinopathy • ITB friction syndrome (Runners Knee)
Lower Leg Conditions: • Tibial Stress Fracture • Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome • Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome • Gastrocnemius Strain Ankle Conditions: • Lateral ligament sprain • Achilles Tendinopathy • Syndesmosis
Define the Kinetic Chain
kinematic Chain is series of rigid overlapping segments or arms linked via moveable joints
Relationship between OKC & CKC
OKC - In an OKC system, the distal segment is therefore free to move in space.
CKC - In a CKC system, a force applied to one of the segments produces motion at all other segments (kinetic chain) in a predictable fashion.
Lower Limb OKC exercises
Leg extension
Leg curl
Lower Limb CKC exercises
Squat
Deadlift
compensatory movements
May develop when abnormal motion occurs in one link within the chain. Adaptations will occur in the kinetic chain.
2 types of rec training
Specific
Diversional
Pushing isometric
Minimal change to CK on failure
Agains an immovible object
Concentric muscle actio
When fatigued system will remain
Holding isometric
Resiting a movement, resting ecentric muscle action. Applying an oposite and equal force
Acute varibles of strength training
Resitance Resitance arm ROM Rest Muscle action Muscle initation
Precautions to resistance training
DOMS
Fatigue
Contraindication
Pain
Inflamation
