Q

State 2 benefits as a result of stretching

A
  1. Increased flexibility
  2. Increases muscle relaxation
  3. Decreases muscle soreness
  4. Improves circulation
24
Q

What are the 3 types of stretching

A
  1. Dynamic
  2. Static
  3. Proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF)
25
When should you not stretch during a rehabilitation programme
During the acute inflammatory phase
26
Define static stretching
Taking a joint past the point of resistance and holding the position for 30 seconds
27
Define dynamic stretching
Use a controlled movement, bounce or swing to take a joint to the limit of its ROM
28
Define proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF)
Taking joint just past point of resistance + performing an isometric contraction for 30 seconds, relax and repeat 3 times
29
Define analgesia
Analgesia is relief from pain
30
Define cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold temperatures in order to treat a range of soft tissue injuries
31
Define game ready systems
Game ready systems circulate cold water around an injured joint while applying intermittent compression
32
How does heat treatment work (3 things)
1. Reliefs pain 2. Causes vasodilation to injured area 3. Increases blood flow to the injured site
33
Define 2 risks with using heat treatment
1. Increased bleeding or swelling if applied in the first 24 hours of an acute injury 2. Burns
34
How does cold treatment work (3 parts)
1. Provides analgesia 2. Vasoconstriction of vessels to injured site 3. Decreases blood flow so reduces swelling
35
Define 2 risks with using cold treatment
1. Ice burns | 2. Superficial nerve damage
36
How does contrast therapy work (3 parts)
1. Reduces swelling by alternating between hot and cold conditions 2. Provides pain relief 3. Increases blood flow to injured site
37
Name 2 risks with using contrast therapy
1. Increases bleeding and swelling if used in first 24 hours after injury 2. Burns
38
Define what NSAID’s are
NSAID’s are medication widely used in treatment of sports injuries that have analgesia, anti inflammatory and antibiotic properties
39
Define antipyretic
Antipyretic is used to prevent or reduce fever
40
How do NSAID’s work (anti inflammatory drugs)
They prevent the chemicals released that cause swelling from reacting to cause swelling
41
Define a risk with using anti inflammatory drugs
Can be deteremental to healing process as cam inhibit the natural healing process
42
Name 2 short term side effects of anti inflammatory drugs
1. Rashes 2. Headache 3. Nausea
43
Name a long term side effects of using anti inflammatory drugs
Increased risk of cardiovascular complications
44
Define physiotherapy
Use of manual therapy, education and advise to help people affected by illness, injury or disability
45
Define price
Price is the recommended response for managing acute soft tissue injuries after the first 24-72 hours post injury
46
Define manual therapy
Manual therapy is a broad group of treatments including massage where the physiotherapist applies force directly to the joint or muscle to restore pain free ROM
47
Define acupuncture
An acupuncture is where fine needles are inserted into specific points through the body
48
Define TENS
TENS Is a small electrical devise used at the site of injury that delivers an electrical current
49
Define untra-sound
An ultra-sound is where sound waves are sent deep into the tissue injured in order to stimulate blood flow
50
Define arthroscopic surgery (an arthroscopy)
Arthroscopic surgery is a type of key hold surgery used both to diagnose and treat injury
51
What is an arthroscope
An arthroscope is a thin metal tube with a light and camera attached that sends images to a screen
52
Define open surgery
Open surgery is where there is a long incision of the skin for the surgeon to see the structures beneath + treat injury by using medical instrements
53
Name 3 ways surgery helps injury
1. Remove damaged tissue 2. Reconstruct damaged tissue 3. Realign damaged tissue
54
What is open surgery used to treat
Fractures and joint injuries
55
What is arthroscopic surgery used to treat
Joint injuries
56
Name 3 benefits of arthroscopic surgery
1. Less pain after surgery 2. Faster healing time 3. Less risk of infection 4. Athlete can return home same day as surgery 5. Athlete may be able to move through the 4 stages of rehabilitation more quickly
