A programme designed to enable the athlete to return to sport with full function in the shortest time possible
2
What does rehabilitation involve (4 things)
1. Restoring strength
2. Restoring flexibility
3. Restoring power
4. Restoring endurance
3
Name 3 issues that occur without an effective training plan
1. Prone to re-injury of the area
2. Incapable at performing at pre injury state
3. Predisposed to injury of another body part
4
Name the four stages of a rehabilitation programme
1. Initial
2. Intermediate
3. Advanced
4. Return to sport
5
Describe the initial response section of a rehabilitation programme
Considered to be from the time of injury to the point of almost pain free full ROM
6
Describe the intermediate section of a rehabilitation programme
Resumption of daily activities and some sporting activity mainly skill related. Some fitness work that doesn’t stress the effected area
7
Describe the advanced section of a rehabilitation programme
Resumption of functional activities related to sport
8
Describe the return to sport section of a rehabilitation programme
Return to sport including full participation in training and competition
9

Nil
10

Isolated skills
11

Commence sport specific agility work, skills, game drills
12

Full
13
What are the three phases of a soft tissue injury management and their time period
1. Acute inflammatory phase (0-72hrs)
2. Repair phase (3 days - 6 weeks)
3. Remodelling phase (6 weeks - 12 months)
14
State 2 facts about the acute inflammatory phase
1. Characterised by pain, swelling and bruising
2. Treatment is price, gentle message and anti-inflammatory drugs
15
State 2 facts about the repair phase
1. Characterised by reduced pain or swelling but areas may still be bruised
2. Treatment is stretching, massage, heat, cold, contrast therapies, pain, relief
16
State 2 facts about the remodelling phase
1. Characterised by formation of scar tissue and return to previous level of joint/limb function
2. Treatment is stretching, massage, heat, cold, contrast therapies, anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy
17
Define exercise induced muscle damage / delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)
Pain experienced after intense exercise due to microscopic tears in muscle fibres that cause swelling + pain and peaks 24-72 hours post exercise
18
Define eccentric exercise
Exercise involving eccentric contractions of muscle where it lengthens under tension
19
Name 2 symptoms of DOMS
1. Soreness
2. Stiffness
20
State 2 treatments for DOMS
1. Usually disappears between 5-7 days
2. Relatively small inflammation doesn’t require anti-inflammatory drugs
21
State 2 factors that help reduce DOMS
1. Cool-down
2. Massage
3. Active non weight bearing exercise
4. Hydrotherapy
5. Contract therapy
22
Name the 6 treatments for rehabilitation of injury (S, M, HCCT, AID, P, S)
1. Stretching
2. Massage
3. Heat, cold, contrast therapies
4. Anti inflammatory drugs
5. Physiotherapy
6. Surgery
23
State 2 benefits as a result of stretching
1. Increased flexibility
2. Increases muscle relaxation
3. Decreases muscle soreness
4. Improves circulation
24
What are the 3 types of stretching
1. Dynamic
2. Static
3. Proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF)
25
When should you not stretch during a rehabilitation programme
During the acute inflammatory phase
26
Define static stretching
Taking a joint past the point of resistance and holding the position for 30 seconds
27
Define dynamic stretching
Use a controlled movement, bounce or swing to take a joint to the limit of its ROM
28
Define proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF)
Taking joint just past point of resistance + performing an isometric contraction for 30 seconds, relax and repeat 3 times
29
Define analgesia
Analgesia is relief from pain
