What is a sports injury?

• A sports injury can be defined as an injury that
  occurs during sporting activities or exercise
  affecting athletes of all ages and all levels of
  performance.

Diagnosis, Diagnosis, Diagnosis!

• Diagnosis is the key to success. We must
  differentiate injuries such as knee sprain,
  muscle strain, grade II muscle rupture or
  intra-muscular haematoma. In some cases, the
  diagnosis is obvious from the persons history,
  symptoms, signs and clinical tests in others an
  X-ray, or MRI scan may needed

6
Diagnosis, Diagnosis, Diagnosis!

• Before carry out detailed specific tests,
  evaluate posture and gait, look for signs of pain
  or discomfort. Ask if the athlete has taken
  painkillers, which may hind findings
• Asking the injured athlete to describe what
  happened and their symptoms can you please
  demonstrate and describe, in your own way, what
  happened? Let the injured athlete demonstrate the
  movements that cause the problem.

program

• THE PHILOSOPHY OF REHABILITATION
• Understanding the Healing Process
• Exercise Intensity
• Understanding the Psychological Aspects of
  Rehabilitation
• The Tools of Rehabilitation

• Figure 1-2 Several modalities, including
  electrical stimulating currents, may be used to
  modulate pain.

• Figure 1-3 Stretching techniques are used with
  tight musculotendinous structures to improve
  physiological range of motion.

• Figure 1-5 Progressive resistive exercise
  using isotonic contractions is the most widely
  used rehabilitative strengthening technique.

12

• Figure 1-6 Isokinetic exercise is most often
  used in the later stages of rehabilitation.

13

• Figure 1-7 Plyometric exercise focuses on
  improving dynamic, power movements

14

• Figure 1-8 Closed-kinetic-chain exercises are
  widely used in rehabilitation

15

• Figure 1-9 Reestablishing neuromuscular control
  and balance is critical to regaining functional
  performance capabilities.

16

• Figure 1-10 Every rehabilitation program must
  include some exercise designed to maintain
  cardiorespiratory fitness.
