Chapter 22 Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is rehabilitation?
The process of restoring function after injury.
What is reconditioning?
The restoration of performance-related fitness after injury recovery.
What are the phases of tissue healing?
Inflammation, repair, and remodeling.
What happens during the inflammation phase?
Pain, swelling, and reduced function; protection is emphasized.
What occurs in the repair phase?
Tissue regeneration begins, and controlled movement is introduced.
What happens in the remodeling phase?
Collagen is strengthened and function is restored.
Who are members of the rehabilitation team?
Physician, physical therapist, athletic trainer, strength coach, nutritionist, psychologist.
What is the strength coach’s role in rehab?
To guide reconditioning and safe return to training.
What is the SAID principle?
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands — training must match needs.
What is a closed kinetic chain exercise?
Movements where the distal segment is fixed (e.g., squats).
What is an open kinetic chain exercise?
Movements where the distal segment is free (e.g., leg extensions).
What is proprioception?
The body’s ability to sense position and movement.
Why is proprioception important in rehab?
It helps restore balance and joint stability.
What is the goal of reconditioning?
To restore sport-specific strength, power, and endurance.
Why is early controlled motion important?
It promotes healing and reduces stiffness.
What is criteria-based progression?
Advancing rehab based on meeting specific functional goals.
Why should psychological readiness be considered?
Fear of re-injury can impair return to sport.
What is the purpose of isometric exercises in rehab?
To maintain strength without joint movement.
Why use concentric and eccentric training in rehab?
To rebuild strength and control through full ROM.
What are contraindications in rehab?
Movements or loads that worsen symptoms or delay healing.
What is the importance of communication in rehab?
Ensures safety, coordination, and effective care.
What is functional progression?
A gradual return to sport-specific skills.
Why is core stability included in rehab?
It supports movement efficiency and injury prevention.
What is active rest?
Low-intensity activity that promotes circulation and recovery.
