rehabilitation and reconditionning

Question 1

Definition: macrotrauma

Answer 1

Specific, sudden episode of overload injury to a tissue, resulting in disrupted tissue integrity.

Question 2

Définition: microtrauma

Answer 2

Results from repeated, abnormal stresses applied to a tissue by continuous training or training with too little recovery time.

Question 3

Common point between microtrauma and macrotrauma

Answer 3

Each injury requires specific rehabilitation strategies to allow return to function.

Question 4

Rehabilitation phases

Answer 4

• Inflammation phase
• Repair phase
• Remodeling phase

Question 5

Inflammation phase

Answer 5

• Body’s initial reaction to injury

- Necessary for normal healing to occur.

Question 6

Repair phase

Answer 6

• Replacement of tissues that are no longer viable following injury.
• Two days after injury and up to two months

Question 7

Remodeling phase

Answer 7

• Strengthening weakened tissue produced during the repair phase
• Up to two to four months after injury

Question 8

Soft tissue injury response

Answer 8

• Pain = guide to tissue health

- Pain levels often decrease before complete tissue healing

Question 9

Period of reinjury vulnerability

Answer 9

Time between pain treshold and hypothetical point at which healing is sufficient for return to activity

Question 10

Gols of rehab and reconditioning (inflammation phase)

Answer 10

• Treatment goal:
  Preventing disruption of new tissue
• Exercise strategies:
  General aerobic and anaerobic training and resistance training of uninjured extremities, with priority given to maximal protection of the injured area

Question 11

Open kinetic chain

Answer 11

Free terminal joint = greater concentration on an isolated joint or muscle

Question 12

Close kinetic chain

Answer 12

distal joint is stationary

Question 13

Example of close and open kinetic chain

Answer 13

sprints (same time)
