What is the main goal for the injured athlete? ** Answ** to return to activity as
quickly and safely as possible
What is the responsibility of health care professionals overseeing rehabilitation
programs? ** Answ** Make decisions on executing the program based on the
limitations of the healing process
activities that maximize performance while minimizing the possibility of injury **
Answ** conditioning exercise
exercises used in a rehabilitation program ** Answ** therapeutic exercise
return the injured athlete to practice or competition as quickly as possible ** Answ**
long term goals
provide immediate first aid to minimize swelling/pain, restore ROM and core stability,
restore/increase muscular strength, endurance, and power, improve balance, maintain
cardiorespiratory fitness, incorporate appropriate functional progressions ** Answ**
short term goals
what is the primary goal of initial management/first aid following an injury? ** Answ**
should be directed towards controlling swelling
Initial management of injury influences the... ** Answ** rehabilitative process
first aid techniques are the most critical part of a... ** Answ** rehabilitation program
what does POLICE stand for? ** Answ** Protection, Optimal Loading, Ice,
Compression, Elevation
Why is POLICE important? ** Answ** it can be used to help modulate pain
throughout the rehabilitation process
what are the 5 factors that determine the patient's extent of pain? ** Answ** Severity
of injury, patient's response to pain, patient's perception of pain, and circumstances
under which the injury occurred
What are the primary factors that cause limitations in range of motion following injury?
** Answ** Injury to a joint caused by the resistance of the muscle and its tendon to
stretch or contracture of the ligaments and capsule around a joint
athlete will need to do what to improve flexibility? ** Answ** engage in dynamic,
static or PNF stretching activities
For assistance with assignments contact
, core stability should be addresses prior to engaging in any form of... ** Answ**
strengthening
what is the core? ** Answ** limbo-pelvic-hip region
without proximal core stability... ** Answ** distal movers won't function optimally
What is the major goal of strengthening/endurance/power within a rehabilitation
program? ** Answ** restoring the function of a body part to preinjury status, and
working through a full and pain free ROM
what are some techniques that can be used for strengthening/endurance/power in a
rehabilitation program? ** Answ** isometric, progressive resistance, isokinetic, and
plyometric exercises
At what point during a rehabilitation program is isometric training used? ** Answ** in
the early stage of rehabilitation when a joint is immobilized for a period of time
What are the benefits to isometric training? ** Answ** increases static strength,
decreases atrophy and swelling
What type of muscular activity is used when incorporating progressive resistance
exercises? ** Answ** isotonic contractions to generate force against resistance
while the muscle changes length; concentric and eccentric strengthening exercises
uses a fixed speed with accommodating resistance to provide max resistance
throughout ROM. Can be used in making decisions for athlete's return to activity. **
Answ** Isokinetic exercise
Plyometric exercise is incorporated at what stage of a rehab program? ** Answ**
later stages of rehabilitation
uses a quick stretch of a muscle to facilitate a concentric contraction ** Answ**
plyometric exercise
Why is plyometric exercise useful in rehabilitation? ** Answ** useful in
restoring/developing an athlete's ability to produce dynamic movements associated with
musular power
rapid generation of force is the key to... ** Answ** successful performance in many
sports
neuromuscular control exercises are more _____ and often is used to regain the ability
of ______ ** Answ** functional; following previously established sensory pattern
