Q

What happens at the foot, ankle & shin, and knee during supination

A

Foot: calcaneal fracture, MT 4/5 fracture

Ankle/shin: tibial stress fracture, inversion sprain

Knee: ITB friction syndrome.

22
Q

Abnormal pelvic movement during gait

A

Excessive anterior tilt
– mm imbalance, Patellofemoral syndrome, hamstring strain, low back pain
Excessive lateral tilt
– mm imbalance, TFL/ITB stress, bursitis, adductor strain.

23
Q

5 characteristics of pre-event massage

A 
1 takes place before vent
2 supports internal preparation
3 enhances warm up
4 injury prevention 
5 enhances performance
24
Objectives of pre-event massage
1 decrease tension 2 increase circulation to muscles 3 provides kinaesthetic feedback 4 positive psychological preparation
25
Type I vs Type II pre event massage
Type 1. Worked with that RMT before Type 2. Either no massage before, or with a different therapist.
26
Pre event massage application
Quick, brisk, repetitive strokes Light stretching, PROM 20-40 min before event 7-12 min long
27
#1 cause of most sports injuries
Sudden impact and/or ballistic movement
28
PRICED
``` Prevent/protect Rest Ice Compress Elevate Diagnosis (if necessary) ```
29
Direct vs indirect injury
Direct: results from blow with blunt object (includes ground) Indirect: results from excessive duration or intensity.
30
Overheating conditions
``` Dehydration Electrolyte imbalance Heat cramping Heat exhaustion Heat stroke Sunburn. ```
31
Dehydration
S&S: ``` Dry mucous membrane Oliguria (reduced urine output) Tachycardia Hypotension Reduced skin swelling Disorientation Fatigue ```
32
Electrolyte imbalance
K, Mg, Ca, Na ``` S&S: Irregular heart beat Confusion BP changes Nervous system disorders Muscle weakness or twitching Fatigue ```
33
Heat exhaustion
Heat syncope or collapse Gradual onset. May lead to heatstroke Weakness, faintness Malaise, nausea, blurred vision Cool, clammy skin. Sweating. Pallor Deceased BP, RR, PR.
34
Heat stroke
``` Body temp > 40.6 degrees Thermoregulatory failure Can be sudden or gradual onset CND disturbance Dizziness, blurred vision, confusion, nausea, irritability, delerium ``` Hot, dry skin Increased BP, PR, HR Convulsions and coma.
35
Sun burn
1st. Red 2nd red with blisters. 3rd red with ulcers.
36
Hypothermia
Temp < 35 degrees ``` Muscle tension, fatigue Shivering Slurred speech Loss of coordination, balance Mental sluggishness and deterioration. ```
37
Causes of overuse injuries
1. Technical errors 2. Training surface 3. Inadequate warm up 4. Inadequate strength or flexibility 5. Inappropriate footwear 6. Faulty biomechanics 7 inadequate recovery.
38
Training
Activities leading to an increase in performance. Balance of qualitative and quantitative.
39
Training subgroups.
1. Periodization 2. Overload 3. Specificity 4. Individuality.
40
Three phases of periodization
1. Conditioning (preparation) - aerobic/anaerobic fitness 2. Transitional (pre-competition) - technique and cognitive skills - recovery from conditioning 3. Competition
41
Overload
Supercompensation Increase volume, intensity. Local and general muscle fatigue.
42
Overtraining
Imbalance of vigorous straining and rest; may result in muscle wasting
43
Arousal vs anxiety
Arousal -- level of CNS excitement/activity. Affects performance. May or may not change with: -- extreme arousal may cause increased muscle tension, muscle imbalance, poor timing and reflexes. Anxiety -- unease or psychologic distress.
44
Carbs
Short burst energy
45
Fats
Long term energy
46
Protein
Main function to build and repair.
47
Maintenance Massage
1. Training massage - integrate into training - prevention and recovery - communication 2. Tapering massage - inverse relationship between intensity/frequency of massage and training 3. Rehabilitative.
48
Taping vs wrapping
Taping: application of adhesive tape along lines of ligaments. Supportive but unyielding. Wrapping: application of non-adhesive cloth wrap. Less supportive but unyielding. - - both primarily provide support - - protect soft tissue without limiting function - - assist athlete in returning to training - - reduce inflammation and Edema (wrapping) - - injury prevention.
49
Why tape?
-- support stressed area to decrease injury -- supports joints to prevent reinjury -- assist with healing by supporting without total immobilization -- enables quicker return to action
50
Limitations of taping
- - superficial - - only has tensile strength (like ligaments) - - benefits joints that rely on ligaments and bones for strength; not those that rely on muscle. - - not a panacea.
51
Components of taping
Anchors, functional strips, fill & close.
52
What disorders are CIs for taping?
Systemic disorders: Raynaud's, DM, peripheral circulatory problems. Allergies to tape ingredients (latex, etc)
