Injury Prevention And The Rehabilitation Of Injury✅ Flashcards

Question

Describe and define tendinosis

Answer 1

The deterioration of a tendon in response to a chronic overuse and repetitive strain Repetitive strain causes small injuries that are not given time to heal. Can result in chronic injury, eg tennis elbow and Achilles tendinosis Signs: limited movement/stiffness Symptoms: burning/stinging/aching

Answer 2

Intrinsic: an injury risk or force from inside the body Extrinsic: an injury risk or force from outside the body

Answer 3

Previous injury Posture and alignment issues Age Nutrition Poor preparation Inadequate fitness level Inappropriate flexibility level

Answer 4

Poor technique and training Incorrect equipment and clothing Inappropriate intensity, duration or frequency of activity Warm up and cool down effectiveness

Answer 5

Raising body temp- rise of 2-3 degrees increases enzyme activity, diffusion gradients and metabolic activity, improving efficiency of muscular contraction Preparing body physiologically- elasticity of muscles, tendons and ligaments improves, and antagonistic co-ordination improves Preparing body psychologically-mentally, performers are ready for task ahead of Minimizing risk of injury

Answer 6

Has 3 stages: Pulse raising Stretching and mobility Sport specific drills Gradually increases intensity It lasts 20-45 mins Stretching and mobility should be dynamic in sport-specific patterns, static stretching should be avoided

Answer 7

Maintaining heart rate- to maintain blood flow and metabolic activity, flushing muscle tissue with oxygenated blood Siding removal of lactic acid- enhancing future performances and delaying fatigue and injuries Aiding the healing process

Answer 8

Has 2 stages: Moderate-intensity, to maintain HR, aid venous return and remove waste Stretching exercise to reduce muscle tension and lower temperature Gradually decreases intensity It lasts approximately 20-30 minutes

Answer 9

Research suggests that static stretching: Has no effect on injury prevention May reduce peak force produced in Achilles tendon by 8% Causes antagonistic co-ordination to deteriorate, hampering explosive movement Reduces eccentric strength by 9%, decreasing ability to change direction at speed Reduces muscles ability to consume O2 by 50% So dynamic stretching should be used instead of

Answer 10

An active cool down has thought to benefit all atheletes, however during low intensity activity’s eg jogging for an aerobically fit athlete, a passive recovery has been shown to be more beneficial There is little evidence to suggest an active cool down can prevent or limits DOMS

Answer 11

Stop- stop the fane and observe the injury Ask- ask questions if player: how did injury happen? where does it hurt? Look- at injury site, check for swelling, bruising, deformity, lumps and bumps, heat Touch- at injury site check, check for swelling, derformity, lumps and bumps, heat Active movement: ask for active movements from participants Passive movement: assessor moves injured limb/body part Strength testing: ask player to stand, lift and put pressure on injured area. Ask them if they continue

Answer 12

SALTAPS: protocol for assessment of a sporting injury, stop,ask,look,touch,active movement, passive movement,strength testing PRICE: protocol treatment of acute injuries, protect,rest,ice,compress, elevate

Answer 13

Protect- protect injury from further damage eg splint Rest- rest injury for 2-3 days, crutches etc then gradually increase movement so don’t lose muscle mass Ice- ice area with cold compress, helps reduce swelling and bruising,15-20mins every 2-3 hours, don’t apply ice directly to skin Compress- compress injured area eg tubular bandage to limit swelling and movement Elevate- elevate injury by resting it above level of heart and keep it supported

Answer 14

Recognize - learn signs and symptoms to identify a suspected concussion Remove- remove from play Refer- refer to qualified healthcare professional Rest- athlete rest from exercise Recover- must be fully recovered and symptom free before returning to play Return- symptom free and cleared in writing by qualified healthcare professional

Answer 15

1. Early stage: gentle exercise encouraging damaged tissue to heal 2. Mid stage: progressive loading of connective tissues and bones to develop strength 3. Late stage: functional exercises and drills to ensure body is ready to return to training

Answer 16

Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs: medication taken to reduce inflammation, temperature and pain following an injury

Answer 17

Medical attention as soon as possible PRICE Immobilization (plaster cast, sling, crutches) Anti-inflammatory and pain medication Severe fractures may require surgery to realign bones or fix pins and wires Physiotherapy may be needed

Answer 18

Medical attention required for diagnosis and advice PRICE Rest for 2 weeks, avoid activity for 8 weeks Immobilization may be needed Gentle return to exercise Strengthening exercises for surrounding connective tissue

Answer 19

Medical attention may be required in severe cases PRICE Immobilization or support using strapping, a brace, crutches Anti inflammatory and pain medication Exercise to strengthen surrounding connective tissue and improve mobility and balance Severe sprains may need reconstructive surgery Heat therapy and contrast therapy can be used for pain relief

Answer 20

Medical attention PRICE Support using strapping, a brace Anti inflammatory and pain medication Physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding connective tissue and restore range of motion Hydrotherapy to maintain fitness without weight bearing Arthroscopy surgery can be used to reshape and resurface torn cartilage

Answer 21

Most cases medical attention not required and symptoms should improve in 5 days Cold therapy such as ice baths post exercise Massage therapy and stretching techniques Anti-inflammatory and pain medication Medical attention maybe needed if heavy swelling or dark urine
