ch22 - Rehabilitation and Reconditioning Flashcards
(200 cards)
Who are the key members of the sports medicine team involved in the rehabilitation and reconditioning of injured athletes?
Athletic trainer, team physician, physical therapist, strength and conditioning professional, exercise physiologist, nutritionist, psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor.
What are the responsibilities of the athletic trainer during athlete rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Provide medical supervision, implement structured programs to reduce injury risk.
What are the responsibilities of the team physician during athlete rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Provide medical supervision.
What are the responsibilities of the physical therapist during athlete rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Provide medical supervision (if Sports Certified Physical Therapist).
What is the primary role of the strength and conditioning professional during injury rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Design and provide resistance and aerobic training programs for the injured athlete.
What is macrotrauma?
(Not explicitly defined in the provided text, but is implied as a sudden, forceful injury).
What is microtrauma?
An injury typically resulting from overuse.
Which type of injury is NOT typically the result of overuse: stress fracture, grade III joint sprain, tendinitis, or microtraumatic injury?
Grade III joint sprain.
What are the three phases of healing following an injury?
Inflammatory response, fibroblastic repair, and maturation-remodeling.
Which of the following is NOT one of the phases of healing following an injury: inflammatory response, reconditioning hypertrophy, maturation-remodeling, or fibroblastic repair?
Reconditioning hypertrophy.
What are the general goals of the inflammatory response phase of rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Prevention of new tissue disruption and prolonged inflammation with relative rest and passive modalities; maintenance of function of cardiorespiratory and surrounding neuromusculoskeletal systems.
What types of exercise are appropriate for the injured area during the inflammatory response phase?
No active exercise for the injured area.
Which type of activity is inappropriate during the inflammatory response phase of a medial collateral ligament sprain: lower extremity plyometrics, submaximal isometric quadriceps strengthening, hip joint stretching, or upper extremity ergometry?
Lower extremity plyometrics.
What are the general goals of the fibroblastic repair phase of rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Prevention of excessive muscle atrophy and joint deterioration of the injured area; maintenance of function of neuromusculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems.
What are possible exercise options during the fibroblastic repair phase?
Submaximal isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic exercise; balance and proprioceptive training activities.
What are the general goals of the maturation–remodeling phase of rehabilitation and reconditioning?
Optimization of tissue function; progressive loading of the neuromusculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems as indicated.
What are possible exercise options during the maturation–remodeling phase?
Joint angle–specific strengthening, velocity-specific muscle activity, closed and open kinetic chain exercises, proprioceptive training activities.
How should neuromuscular control exercises, introduced during the repair phase, be handled during the maturation–remodeling phase?
They should be continued and progressed as appropriate.
What is the SAID principle?
Specific adaptation to imposed demands – the system will adapt to the demands placed on it.
How does the SAID principle apply to designing resistance training programs during rehabilitation?
The goal of training (specific adaptation) should dictate the design of the resistance training program (imposed demands).
According to the SAID principle, if a marathon runner is rehabilitating from a patellofemoral injury during the remodeling phase, what should be the emphasis of their quadriceps training?
Muscular endurance.
How many repetitions should a marathon runner perform for rehabilitation exercises during the remodeling phase to prepare for long-distance running demands?
Many repetitions.
According to the SAID principle, if an Olympic weightlifter is rehabilitating from a patellofemoral injury during the later portions of the remodeling phase, what should be the emphasis of their rehabilitation and reconditioning exercises?
High-intensity exercises to prepare for power demands.
How many repetitions should an Olympic weightlifter perform for rehabilitation and reconditioning exercises during the later portions of the remodeling phase to prepare for power demands?
Fewer repetitions.
