1
Q

tort

A

injured athlete must show that the athletic trainer was negligent in their decision to alter a piece of equipment and that negligence resulted in injury

2
Q

NOCSAE

A

national operating committee on standards for athlete equipment

established voluntary test standards to reduce head injuries by establishing minimum safety requirements for helmets and face masks

3
Q

how often does NOCSAE recommend recondition and rectifying?

A

every 2 years if no warranty

a re-conditioned/re-certified helmet can meet standards for many seasons

4
Q

all helmets have

A

NOCSAE certification - outside warning label

player must read aloud and sign form

5
Q

ice hockey helmets certified by

A

CSA (Canadian standards association)
or
Hockey Equipment Certification National

6
Q

Glasses and athletes

A

polycarbonate lenses - unbreakable

hardened glass lenses

Photochromic lenses (tinted)

7
Q

football shoulder pads

A

cantilevered: bulkier (blocking and tackling); front and rear panels have been extended

noncantilevered - less restrictive in shoulder motion (quarterback and receiver)

8
Q

toe box

A

1/2 -3/4 inch distance between longest toe and front of shoe

9
Q

sole (layers)

A

3 layers (spongy, midsole, hard rubber layer)

spongy - shock absorption (under the heel)
midsole - cushions mid foot to toes
hard rubber layer - makes contact with the ground

10
Q

sole w/ flared heel

A

appropiate for running shoes, not recommended in aerobic or court shoes

11
Q

heel counters

A

prevents heel from rolling side to side at heel strike

a firm but well fitted heel counter may prevent ankle sprains and painful blisters

12
Q

shoe uppers

A

combo of nylon and leather
lightweight
quick drying, well ventilated

extra support in saddle area and achilles tendon area, above heel counter

13
Q

arch support

A

durable yet soft supportive material and should smoothly join with insole

14
Q

price

A

extra investment is worth the better performance and prevention of injury

15
Q

cleats

A

no longer than 1/2 inch

specific shoes only worn on turf

cleats placed under 2 major weight bearing joints

16
Q

foot orthotics

A

plastic, thermoplastic, rubber, sorb ethane, or leather support placed in the shoe to replace existing insole

17
Q

heel cups

A

used for plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, achilles tendonitis, heel bursitis,

made of hard plastic or spongy rubber

compress fat pad under heel, more cushioning

18
Q

protective knee braces

A

used prophylactically to prevent injuries to MCL in contact sports

19
Q

rehabilitative knee braces

A

used following surgery to allow for controlled progressive immobilization (hinges)

20
Q

functional knee braces

A

worn during and following rehab period to provide support during functional activities

21
Q

neoprene braces with medial/lateral supports

A

athletes who have injured collateral ligaments and want support

22
Q

neoprene sleeves

A

provide some support for patellofemoral conditions

23
Q

guaze padding

A

less versatile than other padding; varied thickness.

used as an absorbent or a makeshift padding

24
Q

cotton

A

cheapest and most widely used; absorbs, holds emollients, offers a mild padding effect

25
Q

adhesive felt (moleskin)

A

cushioning and sturdy, very versatile, useful on all body parts

26
Q

felt

A

matted wool fibers pressed into carrying thickness; comfortable and semi resilient. gives firmer pressure, absorbs sweat and clings to skin.
less tendency to move, should be replaced daily

27
Q

foams

A

different thickness and density

resilient, nonabsorbent, protects against compressive forces

closed celled preferred because it rebounds

some are thermomodable

28
Q

sorbothane

A
new class of foams . high-energy absorbing quality
is heavier. generally used in inner soles of shoes, prevents blisters and absorbs ground reaction forces
29
Q

Nonyielding materials

A

thermomoldable plastics

  • heat forming plastics
  • heat-setting plastics
  • heat-plastic foams

casting materials, making protective splints or shells

30
Q

heat forming plastics

A

heat to 140-180 plastic can be accurately molded to body part (Aquaplast or Orthoplast)

31
Q

heat-setting plastic

A

higher temps for shaping, rigid and more difficult to form. requires a mold
Kydex and Nyloplex

32
Q

heat-plastic forms

A

used as shoe inserts and other padding.

aloplast, plastazote

33
Q

casting materials

A

fiberglass. uses retina nd catalytic converter plus water to produce hardening

effective shells for splints and protective padding

34
Q

adhesives

A

many cements and glues join plastic to plastic or join other combinations of materials

35
Q

adhesive tape

A

major tool in holding various materials in place; linen and elastic tape can hold pads to a rigid backing or to adhesive felt. protect against sharp edges

36
Q

customized hard shell pads

A

thermomoldable plastic sheet, scissors, felt material

37
Q

dynamic splint

A

provide long-duration tension on a healing structure so it can return to normal function.

use thermoplastic, velcro, rubber elastic to provide dynamic assistance

38
Q

fitting a helmet

A

no damages, cracks, dents, check for certification, check for all pieces in place
determine what size - tape measure
wet their head - simulates sweat
snug fit, make sure the helmet doesn’t move,
ear holes line up,
everything covered - forehead, chin, back of head, ears
no gaps between padding and skin
3 fingers in between mask and face
no twisting, can see, etc

39
Q

fitting shoulder pads

A

epilet pads - covers deltoid
AC joint to Ac joint for measuring across the back
shoulder range of motion - pads shouldn’t shift
buckled up, all the pieces there, etc etc

40
Q

heel wedges

A

used to correct structural deformities

41
Q

shank

A

between heel and metatarsals, support weight of wearer

42
Q

last (3 types)

A

straight, curved, semi-curved

43
Q

straight last

A

filled on the medial side

for those with flat arch or pronators

44
Q

semi curved last

A

normal foot, small curve on medial side to fit normal arch

45
Q

curved last

A

provide forefoot stability

for those with high arch, or supinators

46
Q

soft materials examples

A

foams,, felt, adhesive felt, gauze padding,

47
Q

closed cell foams

A

rebound to original shape quickly,

48
Q

to correct forefoot varus (foot excessively pronates)

A

rigid orthotic, medial wedge under head of the first metatarsal. small wedge under medial calcaneus

49
Q

to correct structural forefoot valgus (foot excessively supinates)

A

semirigid orthotic, lateral wedge under head of the 5th metatarsal and small wedge under lateral calcaneus

50
Q

to correct structural rearfoot varus

A

the orthotic should be semirigid and have a wedge under the medial calcaneus and small wedge under the head of the first metatarsal

51
Q

soft orthotics

A

wildly available for overuse syndromes

52
Q

semirigid orthotics

A

made of flexible thermoplastics, rubber and leather.

molded from a neutral cast, made for those with increased symptoms

53
