Q

stretching in late phase of recovery (2)

A

Q

what does a massage do (5)

A
  • move fluids & nutrients to damaged area to encourage healing
  • removes waste products
  • improves connective tissue elasticity
  • breaks down scar tissue which increases elasticity
  • reduces pain - reduces DOMS

Q

effects of cold therapy treatment (3)

A

reduce:
- swelling
- inflammation
- blood flow to affected area - arterioles in affected area will vasoconstrict

16
Q

when should cold therapy treatment be used (2)

A
  • ASAP after injury occurred
  • 20 mins every 1-2 hrs for a number of weeks after injury
17
Q

what is heat therapy treatment

A

applying heat to an affected area

18
Q

effects of heat therapy treatment (4)

A
  • arteries vasodilator - increased blood flow to affected area
  • reduce tension
  • reduce stiffness
  • reduce pain

increased blood flow = increased healing

19
Q

examples of heat therapy treatment (4)

A
  • heat packs
  • hot towels
  • heat rubs
  • warm water immersion
20
Q

when should heat therapy treatment not be used + why

A

early days of recovery because it increases swelling

21
Q

what is contrast therapy

A

use of alternate hot & cold therapy

22
Q

when is contrast therapy used

A

later stages of recovery (after acute phase)

23
Q

effects of contrast therapy (2)

A
  • cold phase - vaso-constriction - decrease swelling
  • heat phase - vast-dilation - increased blood flow & nutrients - helps healing
24
Q

what has research shown about contrast therapy

A

more effective than just hot or cold therapy in later stages of recovery

25
Q

effects of anti-inflammatory drugs as treatment (3)

A
  • reduced inflammation
  • reduced pain
  • reduced temperature
26
Q

how do anti-inflammatory drugs reduce pain

A

stops pain receptors sending signals to brain

27
Q

what can anti-inflammatory drugs cause (4)

A
  • heat burn
  • nausea
  • headaches
  • diarrhoea
28

31
Q

why is arthroscopy used (keyhole surgery) (4)

A
  • minimises tissue damage
  • less invasive
  • decreased risk infection
