M1: SAFETY PRACTICES IN SPORTS AND EXERCISE Flashcards
occurs suddenly and are usually short-lived, requiring immediate treatment. It has sign and symptoms (example: swelling, pain) that manifest immediately after force application
Acute injuries
A tear or stretch in the
ligament that caused by trauma
such as blow or fall that knocks a
joint out of position
Sprain
is a twist, pull, or tear of a muscle or tendon – a cord of tissue connecting the muscles to
the bone
Strain
is a traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that shake the brain inside the skull.
Concussion
s a break in a bone that is a result of a quick one-time injury or acute fracture or as a result of repeated stress to the bone or stress fracture.
Fracture
is a wound in which the skin is sliced by a sharp-edged tool like a knife. Abrasion or shallow scrape is characterized by tearing or wearing away of the top layer of the skin call
epidermis.
Cut
is a separation of two bones where they meet at a joint
Dislocation
are also called overuse injuries
Chronic injuries
are health problems that can develop slowly and last a long time. If they’re not treated promptly, they can cause a lifetime of pain,
inflammation, and overall discomfort. Patients who participate in certain sports or exercises may be at risk of developing a chronic injury.
Chronic injury / overuse injury
what category is minimal tear / pain when moved
Mild (first degree)
what category is complete tear / complete loss of function
severe (third degree)
what category is partial tear / pain at rest and when moved
Moderate (second degree)
commonly occur among runners who train for long periods without adequate rest periods. The repetitive workload creates microtrauma - as thick as a strand of hair - in the bone and gets bigger over time.
stress fracture
is the wear and tear of a joint that results to its deterioration. The friction deteriorates the cartilage that projects the bones from rubbing against each other. The knee joint is the common site for the degenerative changes that occur in the cartilage. An individual feels pain and grinding sensation as it worsens.
Osteoarthritis
- include pain, swelling and reduced
function. - a type of overuse injury, where the tendon is repeatedly strained until tiny tears form. It commonly affects the shoulder, wrist, knee, shin and heel. Most cases of tendinopathy will settle naturally
