mr smith-injury rehablitiation Flashcards
acute injuries
occur suddenly
sudden severe pain
not being able to bear weight
swelling around injuried site
chronic injuries
occurs after playing sport for long time
often called over use injuries
examples of acute (occur suddenly) injuries
fractures
dislocations
strains
sprains
SSDF
fractures
break or crack in bone
simple or closed fracture-clean break does not penetrate through skin or surrounding tissue
complex or open-penetrate through surrounding skin
skin has been damaged
more serious as higher risk of injur
dislocations
occurs when ends of bones forced out of position
often occur with fall or contact with another player
strains
pulled or torn muscle
muscle fibres stretched too far and tear
sprains
occur to ligaments
join bone to bone
ligamet is stretched too far and tears
chronic injuries
pain when you compete
dull ache when you rest
swelling
types of chronic injuries
archilles tensoisitis
elbow tenis
stress fracture
archilles tendositis
tendons-connet muscle to bone
over use injury that causes pain and innflamation of the tendon
located at back of ankle
stress fracture
over use injury where area becomes tender and sollen
msucles become fatigued and no longer able to absord added shock from exercise
tennis elbow
where muscles and tendons become inflammad and tiny tears occur on outside of the elbow
injury preventation methods
reduce chances of injury
screening
detcts problem early before any symptoms occur
many young athelets may use CRY heart scanning
EEG used to assess and moniotr the heart
asses muscle imbalances, core strength, range of moevemtn and mobility
adv-save lives
dis-not always 100% accurate
miss a problem (false negative)
identify problem that does not exist(false postive)
protective equipment
rugby
gum sheilds
football
shin pads
cricket
battiling pads
warm up
reduces risk of injury by increasing elasticity of the muscle tissue
first stage-cardiovascualr endurace gets HR going, gets more oxygen going to workign msucles
second stage-stretching
ballistic-jumping/swining movements
ststic-no moevemnt
passive-external force used e.g partner
active-working on one joint, pushing it beyond resistance
third satge-moving patterners copied ut for real game e.g shooting practices
taping and bracing
taping-help ith suppport and stability to reduce risk of injury
injury rehabiitation methods
ways of making recovery stage shorter
proprireceptive training
uses hopping and jumping movements
restore lost proprioreceptors
teach nody to control psotiton
e.g balance board used for sprained ankle
strengthens joint
strength training
using free weight or resistance weigths, or therabands, body weight
more liekly to use resitnce weigths at early stages as they have more of thecontrol
free weights later on in recovery stage
hyperbaric chambers
chmber is pessurisides 100% pure oxygen
pressure increases amount of oxygen tp break in, oxygen can be diffused in injured area
excess oxygen dissolves in plasma to reduce swelling
increase blood activity to active site
cryotherapy
use of COLD temperatures to treat injury
chamber is cooled by liquid nitrogen to temperates below 100 degrees
performer stands in chamber for up to 3 mins
blood from arms and legs flow towards core in attempt to protect vital oragns and keep body warm
when out of chamber, blood returns back to arms and legs containing oxygen to help heal injured cells
hydrotherapy
takes place in warm water
to improbve blood circaultion, relieve pain and relax muscles
pools are heated to approixmately 35-37 degrees
increase blood circulation
buyoncy of water helps with body weight
