25
Mental disturbance
- irregular periods - amenorrhea
26
Low bone mineral density
- osteopenia - osteoporosis
27
Abdominal strain
- rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, internal/external oblique
28
Low back strain
- latissimus dorsi, internal/external oblique
29
Side stitch
- pain in the side typically due to running
30
Hip dislocation/subluxation
- head of the hip bone typically lies above the socket - severe pain, tingling in leg and foot, sense of looseness, heard a pop
31
Hip pointer
- bruise on the iliac crest
32
Hip flexor strain
- tearing of one or more hip flexor muscles - pain either in front side of groin or hip - for wrapping, start on the inside of the thigh and wrap laterally
33
Hamstring strain
- partial tearing of one or more of the hamstring muscles - obvious bruising
34
Quadriceps strain
- tearing of one or more of the quadriceps muscles - obvious discoloration
35
Quadriceps contusion
- significant bleeding that leads to hematoma formation in the muscle - presents with loss of ROM in knee flexion - risk of myositis ossificans - - - -
36
Knee sprain
- ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL - valgus (inward) vs varus (outward) force - lachman's test, varus stress test, posterior drawer test
37
Cartilage meniscus injury
- caused by compression, twisting/torsion, knee bent to an extreme - knee locks up or gives out, pain along joint line - cannot fully bend/straighten knee, delayed swelling, locked knee, limping
38
Chondromalacia patella (runner's knee)
- cartilage under the patella softens or breaks down
39
Patella dislocation/subluxation
- patella leaves its groove - usually laterally
40
Patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee)
- patellar tendon inflamed
41
IT band strain
- tearing of the IT band - usually a snapping feeling when moving
42
Medial ankle sprain
- eversion ankle sprain, ankle rolled outward
43
Lateral ankle sprain
- inversion ankle sprain, ankle rolled inward
44
High ankle sprain
- tearing of the tibiofibular ligament - twisting or rotational injury
45
Lower leg fracture
- caused by twisting/torsion/compression/direct blow - break in the tibia or fibula
46
Compartment syndrome
- - - - - - -
47
Heel contusion
- bruise on the heel pad of the foot from hard hits
48
Medial tibial stress syndrome
- shin splints - pain localized to the distal portion of the medial shin
49
Achilles tendinitis
- inflammation of the achilles tendon - possible pronation/supination when standing normally
50
Plantar fasciitis
- inflamed plantar fascia at the heel - intense pain in the morning with the first couple steps
51
Turf toe
- tear in the joint capsule of the MTP joint on the big toe - caused by forced extension
52
Lacerations
- usually around the eye, forehead, chin, nose, or scalp - caused by a direct blow or contact - rapid bleeding, possible swelling, bruising - pain - if the wound gapes open or there is disfiguration then refer to a physician - athlete may return if bleeding stops and there is no disfiguration
53
Eye contusion
- direct blow - blood pooling in the iris, deformity, restricted eye movement, unequal eye movement - blind spot, double vision, floating spots, blurred vision - - - -
54
Embedded object in eye
- puncture with object/splinter - blood pooling in iris, cut to cornea, irregularly shaped iris/pupil - pain, burning - - - -

Dislocated tooth
- - - -- - - -
63
Ear contusion/cauliflower ear
- - -- - - - -
64
eye protection can
significantly reduce the risk of eye injuries
65
Eyewear should be
- polycarbonate lenses - able to stop objects at 140 mph - deflect objects with 1,200 pounds of force
66
Anatomy of the eye
sclera, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, cornea, orbit
67
Identifying features of skin problems?
68
Contagious vs non-contagious?
69
Viral/fungal/bacterial?
70
Contagious skin problems
- molluscum contagiosum - wart (common vs plantar) - herpes simplex 1 - tinea corporis - tinea pedis - tinea curis - methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus
71
Non-contagious skins problems
- blisters - subungual hematoma - ingrown toe nail - abrasion - boils - poisonous plant reaction
72
Early signs of an infection
pus, fever, red streaking from the area, abnormally elevated pain
73
Best way to prevent contagious skin conditions
wash hands with soap and water
74
Other ways to prevent the spread of contagious skin conditions
- discourage wearing soiled/damp practice clothes - encourage showers immediately after activity - regularly clean equipment
75
Two main implications to adopting a biopsychosocial approach to understanding sport injury
- the occurrence of sport injury is influenced by interactions between biological, psychological, and social variables - sport injury can affect not only physical functioning but also psychological and social functioning
76
Biopsychosocial model
77
Psychological
behaviors, emotions, belief, perceptions, expectations
78
Social
economics, education, family, work, leisure
79
Biological
strength, pathology, movement, tissue tolerance
