rehabilitation of injury - not completed Flashcards
rehabilitation of injury define (2)
- restoring full physical function after injury has occurred
- enable player to return to play in same physical condition as before injury
stages of rehabilitation
stage 1: early
stage 2: mid
stage 3: late
what happens in early stage of rehabilitation (3)
- injury (hard/soft tissue) recovers/heals
- gentle exercise
- don’t do too much too early
what happens in mid stage of rehabilitation (2)
- progressively load bones or connective tissues
- increase strength
what happens in late stage of rehabilitation (2)
- full strength restored
- preparing to play
what injury is stretching used to treat
soft tissue
stretching in acute phase of recovery (immediately after injury)
no stretching
stretching in mid phase of recovery (3)
- after swelling, bruising, bleeding has done down
- gentle stretches
- no jerky or bouncy movements
stretching in late phase of recovery (2)
- increase joint RoM
- use proprioneuralfacilitation stretching - inhibit stretch reflex - enable stretch of muscle - lengthen muscle - increase flexibility
stretching in long term (2)
- maintain/increase range of movement around joint
- active (by yourself) & passive (someone helps) stretches
what is rehabilitation of injury (2)
- process of restoring full physical function after injury has occurred
- enables player to return to play in same physical condition as before injured
what is atrophy
muscles get smaller & weaker due to not training for at least 3 weeks
what does a massage do (5)
- 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
what is cold therapy treatment + e.g.
applying ice (or cold) to an injury
- e.g. ice bath, ice vest, ice pack, cry-chambers, etc.
effects of cold therapy treatment (3)
reduce:
- swelling
- inflammation
- blood flow to affected area - arterioles in affected area will vasoconstrict
