* Return to Play * Primary Injury- acute or chronic resulting from macro-traumatic or micro-traumatic forces * Macro-traumatic- result from acute trauma= immediate pain and disability * Micro-traumatic- result from overloading or incorrect mechanics associated with repeated motion, also known as overuse injuries * Secondary Injury- the inflammatory or hypoxia response that occurs with the primary injury * * 1. ↓ swelling, pain, inflammation 2. ↑ ROM 3. ↑ muscular strength, endurance, power 4. Maintain cardiovascular fitness 5. Re-establish neuromuscular control 6. Improve stability and balance 7. Address psychological reaction to injury/pain 8. Posture & core stability 9. Protect/prevent further injury 10.Kinetic Chain/ Jt above/below 11.Functional Progressions- sport specific 12.Return to Activity Criteria 13.Home Program * * Overlap with each other * Inflammatory Phase: 2-4 days, SHARP/D, Goals; 13,9 * Fibroblastic-Repair Phase: first few hours post injury to 4-6 weeks, Goals; (1-3), 4-9, (10-11) * Maturation- Remodeling Phase: 3 weeks to several years, Goals; (1-9), 10-13 * **Critical- if this response does not accomplish what it is supposed to, or if it does not subside, normal healing cannot take place * Leukocytes and phagocytic cells go to injured tissue * 2-4 days * SHARP/D- Swelling, Heat , Redness, Altered Function, Pain, Deformity * Goals; 1-3,9 * * Scar formation and repair of the injured tissue * Collagen- strong fibrous protein found in connective tissue * First few hours post injury to 4-6 weeks * Some tenderness and pain if touched or stressed with particular movements * Goals; (1-3), 4-9, (10-11) * * Long term process, 3 weeks to several years * Increase stress and strain to realign fibers in a position of max efficiency, parallel to lines of tension * Goals; (1-9), (10-13) * * Extent of Injury * Edema * Hemorrhage * Poor Vascular Supply * Separation of Tissue * Muscle Spasm * Atrophy * Corticosteroids * Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars * Infection * Humidity, Climate, Oxygen Tension * Health, Age, Nutrition * * PRICE –Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation for the first 72 hours * Rest- Active Rest or AAROM (active-assisted ROM) * Ice- Decreases pain, vasoconstriction of vessels to control hemorrhage(bleeding) and edema (swelling) * Compression-decreases hemorrhage and hematoma formation * Elevation- reduces internal bleeding * * Restoring normal ROM following injury is a primary goal in rehab * Must include exercise designed to restore normal ROM to regain normal function * Several factors can limit flexibility and ROM: shape of jt, capsule, ligaments, mm, scars, neural tissue * Flexibility involves the ability of the neuromuscular sys to allow for efficient movement of a joint through ROM * * Factors affecting flexibility: * Muscle- most often responsible for limiting ROM * Connective Tissue- lose elasticity and shorten * Bony structure- restrict end point in the range * Fat- limits full ROM * Skin- inelastic scar tissue incapable of stretching with jt movement * Neural Tissue- tightness can create morphological changes in neural tissues * * Active ROM= dynamic flexibility- degree a joint can can be moved by a muscle contraction * Passive ROM= static flexibility- degree to which a joint can be passively moved to the end points of ROM * * Reflex Autogenic Inhibition: Golgi Tendon Organs = relaxation in antagonist mm * Contraction of agonist causes a reflex relaxation in the antagonist muscle * Flexibility can be lost quickly * Can be maintained with 1 session/week * Need 3-5 sessions a week to improve! * * Elasticity- ability to recover normal length after elongation * Viscoelasticity- slow return to normal length and shape after deformation * Plasticity- allows for permanent change or deformation * * Joint hypo-mobility most frequently treated causes of pain * Leads to compensations in the kinetic chain – abnormal joint stress, soft tissue dysfunction, neural compromise * Can be traced to faulty posture, muscular imbalances, and abnormal neuromuscular control. * * Intramuscular temperature should be increased prior to stretching * Positive effects on collagen and elastin components within the musculotendinous unit to deform * Capability of GTO to reflexively relax is enhanced when heated * Low intensity warm up * * Stretching Techniques: * Dynamic and Static Stretching * Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation * Pilates * Yoga * Manual Therapy: Myofascial Release, Strain- Counterstrain, Soft Tissue, Massage, Graston * * First weeks of program is focused on training to be efficient ex. Technique, target fiber and contraction * Strength directly related to efficiency of neuromuscular sys; increase motor unit recruitment, firing rate, enhancing synchronization of motor unit firing * * Resistance training plays a critical role in Rehab * Muscle weakness/imbalance can result in abnormal movement/gait and can impair normal functional movement * Muscular Strength- ability of a muscle to generate a force against some resistance * Muscular Endurance- the ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance for extended period of time * Muscular Power- ability to generate great amounts of force against a certain resistance in a short period * * ISOMETRIC- mm contracts, no change in mm length (static strength, decrease atrophy) * CONCENTRIC- mm contracts, mm shortens to move resistance * ECCENTRIC- mm contracts, mm lengthens to move resistance * ISOKINETIC- mm contraction in which the length of the m is changing while the contraction is performed at a constant velocity * MUST use ALL 3 (ISOM,CONC,ECCEN) for program, watch out for Rehabilitative Overload * * Size of the muscle * # of mm fibers * Neuromuscular Efficiency * Biomechanics * Age * Overtraining * * Type 1- Slow Twitch, resistant to fatigue, time required to generate force is greater * Type 2- Fast Twitch, fatigue rapidly, produce quick, forceful contractions * Both types of fibers in muscle, varies between each individual * Muscles whose function is to maintain posture have a higher percentage in slow twitch, and muscles whose function is to produce powerful, rapid movements tend to have more fast twitch * Ratios are genetically determined * * Hypertrophy: increase in size of the muscle * Reversibility: if resistance training is discontinued or interrupted, the muscle will atrophy, decreasing in bone strength and mass. * Adaptations can reverse in as little as 48 hours * Physical Adaptations to Resistance Training: * Strength of non-contractile tissue is increased * Mineral content of bone is increased * * For a muscle to improve in strength, it must be forced to work at a higher level than it is accustomed to * Without overload, the muscle will maintain strength as long as long as training is continued against a resistance to which the muscle is accustomed, but no additional gains * To most effectively build muscular strength resistance training requires a consistent increasing effort against progressively increasing resistance * * ISOMETRICS * Progressive Resistive Exercise * Surgical Tubing/ Theraband * Repetitions- # of times movement is repeated * Rep Max- max # of reps at a given weight * Sets- # of reps * Intensity- amount of weight lifted * Recovery- rest interval between sets * Frequency- # of times an exercise is done in week’s period * * Single Set * Tri-sets * Multiple Sets * Supersets * Pyramids * Split Routine * Circuit Training * Plyometric * Core Stabilization * Open vs Closed Kinetic Chain * * Critical and often most neglected, improvements may be lost in as little as 12 days * Regardless of training schedule/techniques; Main goal is to increase ability of Cardioresp sys. to supply a sufficient amt of oxygen to the mm. * Upper vs Lower body injury * * Cardiorespiratory Endurance- ability to perform whole-body activities for extended periods of time without undue fatigue * Training Effects: * Heart, blood vessels, blood, lungs * * Continuous- technique that uses exercises performed at the same level of intensity for long periods of time * Interval- alternating periods of relativity intense work followed by active recovery * Detraining- Changes of the effects from training can reverse, improvements may be lost in as little as 12 days – several months * * After injury, the CNS “forgets” how to put together information from mm and jt receptors * Stimulus from cutaneous (skin), visual, and vestibular input as well * Neuromuscular control is the mind’s attempt to teach the body conscious control of a specific movement * * How it works: Successful repetition of a patterned movement makes its performance progressively less difficult and thus requires less concentration- eventually becoming automatic * Requires many repetitions, from simple to complex movements * Strengthening exercises- specifically those that are more functional= essential for NMC * MOST critical during the early stages of rehab to avoid reinjury * * Regaining NMC means regaining the ability to follow a previously established sensory pattern * CNS will compare the intent and production of a specific movement with stored information and adjust until any discrepancy in movement is corrected * Relearning normal functional movement and timing after injury to a joint may require several months * * 4 components: * Proprioception (position of jt in space) & Kinesthesia (ability to detect movement) * Dynamic Stability * Preparatory and reactive mm characteristics * Conscious and unconscious functional motor patterns * Relies on the CNS to interpret and integrate proprioceptive and kinesthetic info and then control the mm and jts to produce coordinated movements * * Multiplanar Lunges * Single Leg Squat * Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques * An unstable platform promotes reactive muscle activity- attempting to balance on a platformmanually perturb * * Process of maintaining the COG within the body’s base of support * Involves integration of muscular forces, neurological sensory information, and biomechanical information * The ability to maintain postural stability and balance is essential in acquiring or reacquiring complex motor skills * Decreased sense of balance or a lack of postural stability following injury might lack sufficient proprioceptive and kinesthetic information and/or might have muscular weakness * * Single most important element dictating movement strategies within the close kinetic chain * Highly integrative dynamic process involving multiple neurological pathways * Postural Equilibrium- Alignment of joint segments in an effort to maintain COG within an optimal range of the max limits of stability * Re-establishing neuromuscular control is one part of balance * * Somatosensory inputs provide information concerning the orientation of body parts to one another and to the support surface * Injury can cause a disruption at some point between the body’s COG and base of support * This can cause compensatory weight shifts and gait changes along the kinetic chain that have resulted in balance deficits * BESS- Balance Error Scoring system * * Static: COG is maintained over a fixed base of supporton a stable surface- double, single leg, or tandem stance * Semidynamic- maintain COG on a moving surface, or unstable surface- foam, trampoline, mini squats * Dynamic (functional)- base of support is changing, forcing COG to adjust- balance beam, bounding * BAPS board, BOSU, Dynadisc * 2-3 sets of 15 reps progress to 30 reps * 10 sets of 15 second period, progress to 30 seconds * * Psychological and sociological consequences of injury are just as debilitating as the injury itself * Can have an adverse impact on RTP * Barriers to rehabilitation * Focus on prevention: Listen, Educate on injury and rehab, Goal setting, Meditation/Progressive Relaxation, Imagery, REFERRAL * Maintain confidentiality! * * Athletes may have problems adjusting socially and may feel alienated from the rest of the team * Common feelings: * Coaches cease to care * Teammates have no time to spend with them * Friends are no longer around * Little support from coaches and teammates * * Stress: positive and negative forces that can disrupt the body’s equilibrium * Negative stress tends to decrease the athlete’s attentional focus and create mm tension- can lead to a reduction in in flexibility, problems in coordination, and an overall decrease in movement efficiency, can cause athlete to miss important cues * Physical Response to Stress: hormonal increases- cortisol, produce fear/anxiety = fight or flight response, epinephrine and norepinephrine, blood corticoids * Emotional Response- personality change, if athlete enters a contest angry, frustrated or discouraged they are more prone to injury * * Overtraining: imbalance between a physical load placed on an athlete and their coping capacity. Can lead to staleness and burnout. * Staleness: often attributed to emotional problems stemming from daily worries, fears, and anxieties. * Anxiety: feeling of uncertainty or apprehension. The most common mental and emotional stress producer. Athlete can feel inadequate, have heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweaty palms, etc. * Symptoms of Staleness: chronic fatigue, deterioration in performance, apathy, loss of appetite, indigestion, weight loss, inability to sleep * * Burnout: syndrome related to physical and emotional exhaustion that leads to a negative self-concept, negative job or sport attitudes, and loss of concern for the feelings of others. * Stems from overwork- affects both athlete and trainer, Detrimental to health * Symptoms: headaches, gastrointestinal disturbances, sleeplessness, chronic fatigue * Athletes can feel depersonalization, increased emotional exhaustion, a reduced sense of accomplishment, cynicism, and a depressed mood * * Must include: * Rapport: relationship or a mutual trust and understanding * Education: need to explain and educate on the rehab process, explaining the exercises to be performed correctly at home * Cooperation: need cooperation between athlete, trainer, doctor * * Many return to full participation physically ready but are psychologically ill prepared * Progress in small increments: complete necessary skills away from team, engage in a small practice group, then attempt participation in full team non-contact * Complete rehab exercises on the sideline- bike, core, functional, progressive exercises * Use relaxation methods * Goal Set * * Establishing progressive, attainable goals is essential in rehab * Injured athlete has to take responsibility for the progress of the injury and be responsible for doing the necessary rehab * 9 Factors for goal setting: specific and measurable, positive language, challenging but realistic, reasonable timeline, short/ medium/ long goals, link outcome to process, internalize goals, monitor and evaluate goals, link sport goals to life goals. * * Reducing tensions/ anxiety: Meditation and Progressive Relaxation * Cognitive Restructuring: Refuting Irrational thoughts and Thought stopping * Imagery * Coping with Pain: Reducing Muscle Tension, Diverting Attention, Altering the Pain Sensation * * Must be able to recognize and make a referral to the appropriate medical team * Keys to referral: * Recognize the need * Know your limits * Discuss referral with other members of the sports medicine team * Maintain Confidentiality * * Depression: disease in which an individual experiences helplessness and misery, loss of energy, excessive guilt, diminished ability to think, changes in eating and sleeping habits. * 1/5 suffer from depression * SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder characterized by mental depression related to a certain season of the year * Most likely to occur due to a decrease in sunlight * Symptoms: fatigue, diminished concentration, day-time drowsiness * * Contribute to 20% of all medical conditions * Physiological responses: sweating, increased heart rate and blood pressure, irritability, sleep disturbances * Panic Attacks: unexpected and unprovoked emotionally intense experience of terror and fear. Occur in 30% of young adults and at night * Phobias: persistent and irrational fear of a specific situation, activity, or object (heights, flying, closed spaces) * * A pathological disturbance in cognition, affect interpersonal functioning, or impulse control * Paranoia: having unrealistic and unfounded suspicions about specific people or things. * OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder combination of emotional and behavioral symptoms. Engages in unreasonable acts (washing hands, counting) * PTSD: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder affects individuals who have suffered a psychologically traumatic event. Numbing of general responsiveness, insomnia, increased aggression * * Core= Lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, location of COG and where all movements begin * Posture- involves positioning the body’s center of gravity within the base of support * Weak core= fundamental problem of many inefficient movements that lead to injury * If one sys is out of alignment= patterns of dysfunction= Mechanical imbalance= bad posture (kyphosis, lordosis, sway back) * MUST emphasize stable positions to maintain the structural integrity of the entire kinetic chain * * 29 muscles have an attachment to the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex * Referred to as “Butt and Gut” * Inner (pelvic floor mm, TA, multifidus, diaphragm) and Outer unit (posterior oblique, deep longitudinal, anterior oblique, lateral) * Lumbopelvic like a cylinder- inferior- pelvic floor, superior- diaphragm, posterior- multifidus, anterior/ lateral- transverse abdominus * * NEED ALL 5 ( including scapular stability) * POST OB: glute max, contralateral lat * Deep longitudinal- ES, biceps femoris, ligaments – Glute hamstring ES * Anterior Oblique- internal and external obliques and contralateral adductors * Lateral- glute med and min and contralateral adductors * Simple exercises first then complex, need proper activation with any activity * * Can create predictable patterns of dysfunction throughout the entire kinetic chain * Crossed Pelvis Syndrome * Upper Crossed Syndrome * * Postural faults that persist can give rise to discomfort, pain, or disability * Lack of mobility closely associated with faulty alignment * Main goal- strengthen weak, stretch tight * Pain in relation to Faulty posture- cumulative effects of constant or repeated small stresses over a period of time (muscle shortness, muscle weakness, stretch weakness) * * Kyphotic- lordotic- Csp hyperextended, Tsp Increased flexion, Lsp hyperextended, pelvis anterior tilt * Lordotic- Lsp hyperextended, pelvis anterior tilt * Flat-back- Csp- extended, Tsp- upper flexion, lower flat, Lsp- flexed (straight), pelvis- posterior tilt * Sway-back- Csp- extended, Tsp- flexion with posterior displacement of upper trunk, Lsp- flattening, pelvisposterior tilt, anterior displacement of hips * Scoliosis * Handedness Patterns * Knees/ feet, Scapular movement * * Equipment= Helmets!, facial protection (face, throat, mouth, ears, and eyes), neck protecting, trunk and thorax, hips/ buttock, groin/ genetalia, upper leg, lower leg, footwear * Protect with injury= crutches, splints, tensors, tape, slings, foam padding * Rehab program must allow for Rest! * * Tensor: ankle, calf, hip (x3), shoulder (x2), wrist, elbow * Sling-cervical sling, shoulder sling, sling and swathe * Taping * * Kinetic Chain- integrated functional unit, includes mm, fascia, ligaments, tendons, articular sys, and neural sys * Joint above and below * All of these systems function simultaneously as an integrated unit to allow for structural and functional efficiency * If any system within kinetic chain is not working efficiently, the other systems are forced to adapt and compensate * * Compensation- leads to tissue overload, decreased performance, and predictable patterns of injury * During functional movements, some muscles contract concentrically to produce movement, others contract eccentrically to allow movement to occur, other muscles contract isometrically to create a stable base on which the functional movement occurs * * Open- Kinetic Chain Exercise- distal segment is mobile and not fixed (foot or hand not in contact with ground or surface) * Open- non-weight bearing, not all upper body exercises are open some closed, bicep curls, triceps extensions, bench press, leg curl/extension- more isolating exercises to target certain muscles, usually one jt * * Closed-Kinetic Chain Exercise- when the distal segment of the lower extremity is stabilized or fixed * More sport or activity specific, exercises incorporate strengthening the entire kinetic chain rather than an isolated body segment * Closed- associated with weight bearing activities and the lower extremity , minisquats, push ups,lunges, wall slides, leg press, stair climbing/ step ups, stationary bike, trampoline, BAPS board, slide boards, usually multi jt * * A series of gradually progressive activities designed to prepare the individual for RTP * Progress from simple to complex sport specific skills * Skills are broken down into component parts and the athlete gradually reacquires those skills within the limitations of progress * May be broken down into 3 phases: stabilization, strengthening, power * * Physicians Release * Pain Free * No swelling * Normal ROM * Normal Strength * Mentally Prepared * Pass Functional Tests! * * All exercises completed during rehab should be completed at home or at practice *
