Q

Give the main two types of fracture

A

Compound (open) fracture which is a break of a bone through the skin. Simple (closed) the skin remains unbroken, minimising the damage to the soft tissue surrounding it.

Tendon pain in the forearm due to chronic overuse and repetitive strain
27
Name the intristic risk factors
``` Posture Alignment Previous injury Insufficient nutrition Poor preparation ```
28
Name the extrinsic risk factors
``` Poor biomechanical training Performance techniques Incorrect equipment and clothing Inappropriate overload without progression Lack of variance in training ```
29
What is the fluid that protects the brain?
Cenrospinal fliud
30
What does an ideal warm up consist of?
* should last 20-45 mins * gradually increasing intensity * HR increasing activity, stretching, sport specific drills
31
What should an ideal cool down consist of?
* last 20-30 mins | * gradually decrease intensity
32
What does saltaps stand for?
Stop- stop the game if a player is injured Ask- ask where and what the pain is Look- look for specific signs such as brusing, and swelling Touch- gently apply pressure to identify painful regions Active movement- ask the player if they can move without your assistance Passive movement- gently move injured area to its full rom Strength testing- ask the player to stand putting pressure on the area
33
What does price stand for?
``` Protection Rest Ice Compression Elevation ```
34
What are the 6 R's?
Recognise- surrounding people should be aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion Remove- remove them from the game Refer- the performer should be referred to a qualified healthcare professional Rest- players should not be left alone for the first 24h and should rest from exercise until symptom free Recover- adults must take 1 week to return and U18 two weeks before seeking an authorised return from a healthcare professional Return- to return to play, the player must have a written authorisation in order to return to play
35
definition of rehabilitation?
The process of restoring full physical function after an injury has occurred
36
How many phases does stretching have and what are they?
4 Acute- within the first 3 days of an injury there should be no stretching Mid phase- 3-14 days, heat therapy, gentle Static and passive stretching should be used, stretching the connective tissues Later phase- for a further two weeks, PNF stretches should be added to retrain and desensitise the stretch reflex
37
What is contrast therapy
Use of alternative cold and heat to increase blood flow
38
Benefits of heat therapy
Vasodilation of blood vessels increasing blood flow, decreasing muscle tension and stiffness
39
Risks of heat therapy
Increased swelling and pain and an acute injury
40
Uses of heat therapy
Chronic injuries and late stage acute injuries before exercise
41
Benefits of cold therapy
Vasoconstriction of blood vessels, decreasing blood flow, swelling and pain

Vasoconstriction of blood vessels, decreasing blood flow, swelling and pain
55
Risks of cold therapy
Tissue and nerve damage if its in contact for to long Skin abrasion from direct contact (ice to skin)
56
Uses of cold therapy
Acute injuries and after exercise to relieve symptoms of muscle damage
57
Benefits of contrast therapy
Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged tissue Decreased swelling and pain
58
Risks of contrast therapy
Limited benefit over cold therapy
59
Uses of contrast therapy bro
Acute injuries after bleeding and inflammation, relieves the symptoms
60
Two benefits of a massage
Move nutrients and fluid through damaged tissue to encourage healing and remove waste products Stretch the tissues, releasing tension improving elasticity
61
The most common approach to contrast therapy is (The method)
Immerse body shoulder level post exercise Cold followed by warm Ratio of cold:warm 1:3 minutes Accumulating 6/10 mins in cold Water
62
What are non steroid anti inflammatory drugs( NSAIDs)
Medication taken to reduce inflammation, temp and pain from injury
63
How do NSAIDs work
Inhibits chemical response leading to inflammation, interfering with pain signals
64
Give me 3 side effects of NSAIDs
Heartburn, nausea and diarrhoea
65
Long term use of NSAIDs can cause ...
Gastro intestinal bleeding, shock, anaemia, stroke and heart attack
66
Definition of physiotherapy
Physical treatment of injuries using methods such as mobilisation, massage, exercise therapy, postural training
67
A rugby player has broken there shoulder, give me 3 phases of physiotherapy you would take them through
1st - pain relief, minimise swelling, ice therapy, shoulder sling for support 2nd - tailored exercises to maintain muscle strength 3rd- restoring full ROM, muscle length and resting muscle tension about the shoulder joint with mobilisation
68
What is arthroscopy
Keyhole surgery, small incision is made for camera, repair + examine damage within a joint
69
What is open surgery, what’s good, what’s bad about it
Incision made to open a joint to repair it Creates stronger repair but high risk of infection and scarring
70
Signs and symptoms of a simple fracture
Server pain at fracture site Loss of movement and swelling Discolouration
71
What is menisci
Tough disc of fibrocartlidge in the knee which stabilise and adsorbs shock during weight bearing activity
