Q

Cantilevered shoulder pads

A
  • strap that extends from the front to the back of the shoulder pads that causes the shoulder pads to arch above the tip of the shoulder, thus dispersing pressure onto the pads rather than on the shoulder

31
Q

non cantilevered shoulder pads

A
  • don’t restrict shoulder motion as much

- QBs, receivers

32
Q

Sports Bras

A
  • primary concern was for breast protection against external forces that could cause bruising
  • now they are designed to minimize excessive vertical and horizontal movements of the breasts that occur with running and jumping
  • to be effective it needs to hold the breasts to the chest and prevent stretching of the ligaments of Cooper which can cause premature stretching
33
Q

socks

A
  • poorly fitted socks can cause abnormal stresses on the foot
  • socks that are too short crowd the toes
  • socks that are too long can wrinkle and cause skin irritation
  • socks should be clean and dry w/out holes
34
Q

Toe box

A

a distance of 1/2 to 3/4 inch between the longest toe and the front of the shoe is recommended

35
Q

Sole

A
  1. must provide shock absorption
  2. must be durable
  3. must provide good traction
    (flared heel may be good for running shoes but not aerobic/court shoes)
36
Q

Shank

A
  • part between the heel and the metatarsal heads

- reinforced with material of sufficient density to support the weight of the wearer

37
Q

Last

A
  • form on which the shoe is built

- straight, semi curved, or curved

38
Q

straight-lasted shoe

A
  • filled in on the inside/medial side of the shoe to increase stability for people who have flat arches or run on the inside of their foot (pronators)
39
Q

pronators

A

those who run on the inside of the foot

40
Q

semi curved last

A
  • designed for an average or normal foot.

- small curve on the medial side of the foot to fit a normal arch

41
Q

Curved last

A
  • built with a larger curve on the medial side of the shoe and has a wider outside portion of the shoe to provide more forefoot stability
  • built for people with an abnormally high arch and for runners who run on the outside of their foot (supinators)
42
Q

supinators

A

those who run on the outside of the foot

43
Q

heel counter

A
  • the heel counter is the portion of the shoe that prevents the foot from rolling from side to side
  • should be firm but well fitted
  • a good heel counter may prevent sprains and painful blisters
44
Q

shoe upper

A
  • upper part of the shoe is made of some combo of nylon and leather
  • should be quick drying, lightweight, extra support
  • extra padding in the area of the achilles tendon just above the heel counter
45
Q

Arch Support

A
  • durable yet soft supportive material

- should not have any rough seams or ridges inside the shoe which may cause blisters

46
Q

Price

A
  • its worth the investment to buy a quality pair of shoes
47
Q

Shoe fitting

A
  • must approximate the conditions in which athlete will be performing in
  • accommodate for end of day swelling
  • snug but not too tight
  • all toes can be fully extended w/out being cramped
48
Q

Shoe fitting measurements

A
  1. distance from the heel to the metatarsophalangeal joint
  2. the distance from the heel to the end of the longest toe
    - shoes should be selected for the longer of the two measurements
49
Q

Cleats

A
  • longer cleats are more often used on a muddy or soft filed
  • longer cleats are more likely to create a lower extremity injury because they will not slip or give away as easily as shorter cleats
  • short cleats are most often used on synthetic or dry surfaces
50
Q

Shoe lacing for a narrow foot or heel

A

cross laces and thread each through the loop on the other side before tightening and tying

51
Q

shoe lacing for a wide foot

A

thread laces straight up without crisscrossing, beginning to crisscross when it doesn’t squeeze the foot

52
Q

shoe lacing for a low arch (pes planus)

A

beginning at the bottom crisscross lace shoes as normal halfway up the eyelets. use the loop lacing technique used for a narrow heel the rest of the way

53
Q

shoe lacing for a high arch (pes cavus)

A

begin lacing as normal crisscrossing and stoping after the first set of holes. thread laces straight up each side, crisscrossing only before threading the last hole

54
Q

heel cups

A

should be used for a variety of conditions including plantar fasciitis, heel spur, achilles tendinitis, and her bursitis
- they compress the fat pad under the heel providing more heel cushioning during weight-bearing activities

55
Q

ankle braces

A
  • most studies show that bracing is effective in reducing ankle injury
  • bracing probably has little or no effect on performance; any change in performance is due to the athlete perception of support and comfort
56
Q

knee pads

A

protect against a fall or a direct blow to the anterior aspect of the knee

57
Q

protective knee braces

A

protective knee braces are used prophylactically to prevent injuries to the medial collateral ligament in contact sports such as football

58
Q

rehabilitative knee braces

A

used following surgical repair or reconstruction of the knee joint to allow for controlled progressive immobilization

59
Q

functional knee braces

A

may be worn during and following the rehabilitative period to provide support during functional activities
- can be ready made or custom

60
Q

neoprene braces with medial and lateral supports

A

for individuals with sustained injury to the collateral ligaments and feel that they need extra support medially and laterally

61
Q

soft materials (padding)

A
  • gauze
  • cotton
  • adhesive felt
  • sponge rubber felt
  • foam rubber
62
Q

Gauze padding

A

less versatile

used as an absorbent or protective pad

63
Q

cotton

A

cheapest and most widely used material in sports. absorbs, mild padding

64
Q

adhesive felt

A

adhesive mass on one side

combines a cushioning effect wit the ability to be held in place by the adhesive mass

65
Q

felt

A

matted wool
comfortable, semi resilient surface, which gives a firmer pressure than most sponge rubbers
- should be replaced daily

66
Q

foams

A

used for providing injury protection in sports
resilient, nonabsorbent and able to protect the body against compressive forces
- closed cell type is preferable in sports because it rebounds to its original shape quickly

67
Q

thermomoldable plastics

A
  • can provide casting for a fracture; support for a foot defect; or a firm, nonyielding surface to protect a severe contusion
68
Q

heat forming plastics

A

low-temp variety

  • when heated to 140-180 degrees the plastic can be accurately molded to a body part
  • orthoplast and X-lite
69
Q

heat-plastic foams

A

differences in density as a result of the addition of liquids. gas. or crystals

  • used mostly shoe orthotic inserts and other body padding
  • plasazote and aliplast
  • plastic is heated until soft and maleable
70
Q

casting materials

A

fiberglass

71
Q

adhesive tape

A

linen and elastic tape can hold pads to a rigid backing or to adhesive felt (moleskin can be put against hard edges)

72
Q

heat sources

A

hair dryer or moist heat unit or hot air gun

73
Q

fastening material

A

velcro

leather can be cut and riveted in place to form hinge straps with buckles attached

74
Q

customized hard shell pads

A

used for bruises

75
Q

dynamic splints

A

OT would make a dynamic splint

- provides long duration tension on a healing structure usually a tendon so that it can return to a normal function
