Injury Management & Rehabilitation Flashcards
(51 cards)
____ modalities and ____ are important keys in injury management and rehabilitation
therapeutic; exercise
MUST know stages of what to be successful in injury management?
stages of tissue healing
Sudden inactivity and immobilization can cause general loss of..?
fitness, muscle strength, endurance & coordination
During inactivity and immobilization, RHR increases by how much?
1/2 a beat for each day of immobilization
“what should the joint be able to do, and trying to get back to that ROM”
osteokinematics
All injuries are associated with some loss of ROM that can be attributed to…?
contracture of CT, or MTU resistance to stretch, or both
During muscular strengthening, you must work through a full, pain free ROM. You can use what 3 techniques?
- isometrics
- progressive resistance exercise (PRE)
- isokinetics
When should isometrics be used?
when resistance training through full ROM is contraindicated
Isometrics increase ___ strength, decrease ____, and increase muscle ____
static; atrophy; pump
isometrics help manage ____
swelling
During PRE, eccentric contractions facilitate concentric contractions for ______
plyometrics
strength deficits/inability to tolerate eccentric forces can ____ inury
precipitate
“constant speed with accommodating resistance to provide maximal resistance throughout full ROM”
isokinetics
when should isokinetics be used?
later phase of rehab
isokinetic machines are measured in units of what?
degrees per second
“regaining the ability to follow some previously established sensory pattern” - How is this done?
neuromuscular control and balance work; done through repetitive motion until it becomes automatic
The ability to sense joint position in space is mediated by _______ in muscle and joints
mechanoreceptors
What are the four key elements of neuromuscular control and balance?
- proprioception and kinesthetic awareness
- dynamic stability
- preparatory and reactive muscle characteristics
- conscious and unconscious functional and motor patterns
“integration of muscular forces, neuromuscular sensory information from mechanoreceptors & biomedical feedback”
balance
What is the optimal functional progression?
allows for opportunity for practice of every skill that is required for the sport
Rehabilitation Plan Phase 1 (acute inflammatory stage) may last how long? What is the primary focus? What should you avoid?
- up to 4 days
- being able to control swelling and modulate pain
- overly aggressive during first 48 hrs
by day 3-4 of the acute inflammatory stage, what should you be working on?
active ROM exercises in pain-free ROM while continuing NSAIDs for swelling and inflammation
when does a post-surgical exercise phase begin post surgery?
24 hours
\rehab plan, phase 2 (fibroblastic repair), can last for up to how long? What is critical in this phase?
several weeks; swelling and pain control is critical
