Athletes
responsibility to maintain good physical condition
practice techniques taught by coaches
parents
assist in keeping athlete healthy and are updated about injury or illness. Should be provided with info on nutrition and recommend home treatments. If athlete is a minor, AT should alert parents immediately
officials
responsible for enforcing fair rules, monitoring playing conditions, and cooperating with AT and physician
coaches
Must plan practices that include conditioning and training of athletes and teach techniques and rules of sport.
Practices must be of reasonable duration, taking skill level, fatigue, and environmental conditions into consideration. Selecting, fitting, and maintaining protective equipment. Supervision of practice and game facilities must be reviewed by coaching staff. Must update education by attending clinics, review rule change, skill development, first aid/ CPR. Athletes wellbeing is 1st. Works close with team physician and BOC certified AT.
Athletic Training Student
Defined by interest , experience in allied healthcare, desire to gain knowledge of profession. Start with maintaining a clean athletic training area/facility. Other duties include inventory control, keeping track of supplies and equipment, and communication to head trainer. Should have checklist for practice, games, or road trips. Packing kits and other preparation activities. Preparing an sport/electrolyte drink or water. Documenting weight before and after practice. Recording for daily treatments. Treatments such as taping, wrapping,
changing dressings,giving minor treatments, and first aid procedures
Physical Rehabilitation program goal
To return the injured athlete to pre-injury levels of strength, power, endurance, flexibility, and confidence as quickly and safely as possible
Rehab program focuses on…
injured body part
what happens when and if an athlete returns to activity without undergoing physical rehabilitation
could become re-injured
aggressive rehab program will require
particular exercise program by athlete at a level slightly lower than what causes pain
5 phases of physical rehabilitation that need to be addressed-
post surgical/acute injury
early exercise
intermediate exercise
advanced exercise
initial sports re entry
along with exercise, AT must also deal with…
decreasing pain
effusion
inflammatory response to trauma
returning an athlete to a pain-free active range of motion will increase…
muscular strength, power, and endurance to anatomical structure
4 basic components of any physical rehab program are…
therapeutic exercise
therapeutic modalities
athletic education
goal setting
when determining purpose of an exercise, always consider…
joint range of motion, muscular strength, power, endurance, balance, proprioception, kinesthetic awareness, and cardiovascular fitness
progressive resistive exercises are used to increase
muscular strength, power, and endurance
Purpose of Taping and wrapping
Primary: to provide additional support, stability, and compression for affected body part.
Taping and wrapping techniques can be applied to…
Shorten the muscles angle of pull
Decrease joint range of motion
Secure pads, bandages and protective devices
Apply compression to aid in controlling swelling
Taping: prep removal of hair
The athlete should shave the affected body part. This ensures a good solid foundation for the tape, will allow for easy tape removal, and will reduce skin irritation
Taping prep: spray adherent
Spray the affected area with an adherent to aid adhesive quality
Taping prep- skin lubricants
In areas of high friction or sensitivity, a skin lubricant such as heel and lace pad will help reduce the possibility of irritation
Taping prep- underwrap
Foam wrap used to hold heel and lace pads in place. Use of underwrap over entire taping area can compromise stability of taping technique
Common terminology for the wraps are…
Spica, figure of eight, and pad support.
Spica wraps
Traditionally employed at the hip and shoulder joints.
Traditionally employed at the hip and shoulder joints.
Placed over ankle, knee, elbow, and wrist, and hand joints.
Supportive wraps
Aid in securing pads after proper placement of felt, foam rubber, and protective devices.
What does PRICES stand for?
Protection
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Support
What kind of pattern is used when applying a compression wrap?
Spiral
Compression wrapping process
Start distal to injury, cross injured joint, and finish proximal to affected area.
How does elevation assist in a compression wrap?
Assists in moving fluids out of injured area.
When should compression wraps take place?
Every 4 hours.
When applying supportive techniques to an athlete you should…
Be aware of specific rules for that particular sport.
Be aware of specific rules for that particular sport…
Prevent an injury and to protect injured anatomical structures from firth aggravation.
Protective device can be applied to add…
Additional protection, support, stability, and compression.
How are braces and special devices are beneficial?
If are intelligently selected, used within the rules and guidelines of specific sport.
Foam
used in conjunction with various taping/wrapping procedures to increase efficacy of technique.
things to keep in mind about foam is…
proper size, thickness, shape, and foam composition
thermoplastic
can allow the injured athlete to return to practice and or competition with an increased awareness that the injury will be protected.
because the hardness of thermoplastic…
may be restricted from some sports
limited to a certain body part
require padding according to guidelines
Felt
applied by same criteria as foam.
factors to be considered in construction and application of felt pad are…
size, thickness, and use of either adhesive or non-adhesive felt.
in the construction of a special pad, the following criteria should be considered…
1- does the pad meet specific rules and guidelines of sport?
2- does the pad perform the function for which it was designed?
3- will the pad contribute to further injury to the area or to an adjacent area?
4- Will the pad alter the function or void the warranty of a manufactured piece of equipment (i.e., helmet, shoulder pads)
