RTS Flashcards
RTS
- Criteria based not timed
- Involves: return to participation, RTS – not at desired performance lvl > return to performance (at desirved lvl of performance)
- Priority day 1
THINGS TO CONSIDER
• Need to consider:
o Physical readiness tissue healing/integrity, strength, control, skill/function, etc.
o Psychological readiness anxiety, confidence, fear-avoidance, motivation.
• MUST COMMUNICATE WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS so everyone is heading towards the same goal – coach, player, physio
RTS STEPS
- StaRRT framework
- Biopsychosocial model
- Optimal Loading
RTS STEPS
1. StARRT Framework
- Estimates the short/long term outcomes associated with RTS
- Identifies acceptable risks
- Assesses Health Risk (tissue health), Activity Risk (tissue stresses) and risk tolerance (things that can be modified to potentially decrease that risk)
RTS STEPS
2. Biopsychosocial model
Consider all three aspects that effect treatment, outcome and RTS
RTS STEPS
3. Optimal Loading
Acute: chronic workload (previous 4 weeks)
FIFA 11+
È Warm up prior to training/match (at least 2/week) takes 20mins
È Minimal equipment/resources required
È Found to be effective (30-39% reduction in football injuries + 51% reduction in health care costs)
Running Exercises jogging, sprints forwards/back, open/close the gait, bounding, plant and cut.
Strength, Plyometrics and Balance planks, single leg squat, Nordics, lunges, vertical/lateral jumps
KNEE Program - netties
È Warm up (2-3 times per week)
È Takes 12mins
È Based off FIFA 11+
Warm Up side skip squats, lunges, jogging, butt flicks
Strength = Squats, bridge, planks
Balance/landing= partner push, jumps, slaloms
Agility = forward bound, defensive shuffle, lateral shuffle, Y drill (deceleration, change of direction, partner + ball)
*Technique is everything for these programs hips level, knee pointing forward, hip abducted
general timeline of rts ***
Pre-op > recovery from surgery > strength/NM control (SLS balance) > running/agility/landings > RETURN TO SPORT > prevent re-injury.
