Midterm Flashcards
(291 cards)
Primary Prevention
reducing the incident of injury before they occur
Secondary Prevention
Addressing injuries in their early stage to prevent recurrence, severity and/or secondary complications
Examples of primary prevention
-looking at conditions
-equipment
-warm-uo
-nutrition/hydration
-looking for unfae technique
-injury patterns
-talking with coaches
-preventative bracing
examples of secondary prevention
-taping/wrapping
-education
-sufficent rehab
-early identification
-reconditioning
When to wear a brace instead of taping
-if sport doesnt allow
-ongoing conditions
-larger joints
-tape can sometimes wear off before game is over
what is the purpose of orthotics
-to adjust biomechanics to perform properly
what should orthotics also be given with
-proper, supportive rehab
What time period does an injury become chronic
over 6 weeks typically
Types of muscle and tendon injuries
-strain
-tendonitis/osis
-contusions
Types of ligament injuries
-sprain (overstretch, dislocations, subluxations)
Types of Bone injuries
-fracture/break
-bruise
Types of nerve injuries
-burner/stinger
-contusion/crash injury
Types of brain injuries
-concussion
-acquired brain injury
-direct trauma or indirect trauma
types of skin injuries
-lacerations, abrasions
-contusions
Sprain vs Strain
Strain is muscle or tendon and a sprain is ligament
Grade 1 sprain/strain
-tissues stretch/some fibres disrupted
-for sprains, integrity of joint is maintained
-for strains, contractions are strong but painful
Grade 2 sprain/strain
-partial tear/many fibres disrupted
-for sprains, results some instability/laxity in the joint
-for strains, contractions are weak and very painful
Grade 3 sprain/strain
-complete tear
-for sprains, results in significant instability/laxity in the joint
-for strains, unable to contract and often pain free
types of bone fractures
-transverse
-linear
-oblique (displaces and non-displaced)
-Spiral
-greenstick/bend
-comminuted
How does muscle respond to contusions
pain, swelling, discolouration, spasam, reflex inhibition
pain and swelling can stop
voluntary muscle contraction
difference between tendonitis and tendonosis
itis= inflammation (acute)
otis= tissue breakdown (chronic)
types of overuse injuries
-bursitis
-shin splints
-stress fractures
Role of student trainer
-EAP
-Primary and secondary intervention
-scene survey
-C spine
-Assess urgent vs non urgent
-Reassure
-support through rehab
