16
Q

what does SALTAPS, the acronym for assessing soft tissue injury stand for?

A
  • S: See what happened
  • A: Ask the player about the injury
  • L: Look at the injury
  • T: Touch the area (if the player lets you)
  • A: Active movement (can they move it?)
  • P: Passive movement (can you move it?)
  • S: Strength (resisted and functional)
17
Q

When should you refer to A&E?

A
  • Unable to weight bear
  • Deformed limb or joint
  • Cannot move a joint
  • If pain is uncontrollable
  • If in doubt
18
Q

What is the traditional approach to treating acute phase injuries?

A 
PRICE:
Protect
Ice
Compress
Elevate
19
Q

What happens in an acute soft tissue injury?

A
  • Chemical mediated cascade (inflammation)
  • Increase in blood flow and permeability of capillaries
  • Various cells and biochemicals diverted to injury site
  • Pain, but not always immediate
20
Q

Is inflammation bad?

A 
NO:
-Inflammation initiates the healing process
-Protects the area from further damage
YES:
-Can be excessive
-Non-selective
-Effects muscle function and mobility
21
Q

What reasoning is there to use PRICE?

A
  • Protect and rest to prevent further damage and allow recovery
  • Reduced inflammation means reduced scar tissue formation
22
Q

Why not rest an injury?

A

Stress is an important stimulus to tissue regeneration (but important not to overstress)

23
Q

Why use ice?

A

Reduces pain

24
Q

Why not use compressin?

A

May reduce lymphatic drainage

Risk of neural compression

25
Q

Why use compression?

A

Can improve proprioception and support the joint

26
Q

Why elevate the injured area?

A

Will help with lymph draining and swelling reduction?

27
Q

What is the new acronym to take over ‘PRICE’?

A

POLICE

28
Q

What does the new injury treatment acronym POLICE stand for?

A 
Protect
Optimal Loading
Ice
Compression
Elevation
29
Q

Why not use ice?

A

May reduce proprioception and muscle function

30
Q

What is Rehabiliation according to wikipedia? (I don’t know why this was even on the slides wow this is terrible)

A

Treatment aimed at the recovery of musculoskeletal function, particularly recovery from joint, tendon or ligament repair

31
Q

What does effective, successful rehabilitation entail?

A

A goal oriented intervention program that enables the athlete to return to sport with full function in the shortest possible time

32
Q

What is the broad, vague ‘rehabilitation cycle’

A
  • Set expectations
  • Make an action
  • Evaluate the action
  • Repeat
33
Q

What are the stages of rehabilitation?

A
  • Acute injury resolution
  • Regain full ROM with low/no load
  • Regain Strength
  • Regain Proprioception
  • Functional Exercise
  • Sport specific exercise
34
Q

What are the assessment criteria for the end of a rehab program to determine readiness to return to sport?

A
  • SALTAPS
  • Pain free
  • No swelling
  • Full Strength
  • Full coordination
  • Sports specific skills test
35
Q

How long do upper and lower limb fractures tend to take to heal on average?

A
  • 6 weeks upper

- 12 weeks lower

36
Q

What activities would you do in the repair phase on an injury?

A
  • ROM and flexibility training
  • Muscle function/strength
  • proprioception training
37
Q

What activities would you do in the remodelling phase of an injury?

A
  • Power, speed, agility, sport specific qualities, etc.

- Functional training
