Concepts of Rehabilitation ATHT 333 Who is on the team? • The injured person • Clinician • Physician • Parents • Athletic Training Student • Coach As a clinician • Interpersonal skills – Competent, energetic, interested, empathy, active listening skills • Keep records • Educate others – Prepares the injured, more compliance, family members, coaches Communication • AT serves as the center of communication • Talk to the patient – Know when to talk, know when not to – Right time to use medical terminology – “I don’t know”…but I’ll find out – Use your filter Communication • With the physician – Treatment plan, limitations, patient response • With family – At time of injury to develop rapport • With coach – Extent of injury, limitations – Don’t give definitive timelines • Remember HIPAA Principles: ATC IS IT • Avoid aggravation: of the injury • Timing: start as soon as it is safe (won’t aggravate injury). Too much rest is detrimental • Compliance: better if patient informed • Individualization: no “cookbook” rehab, everyone responds differently • Specific Sequencing: determined by body’s healing response • Intensity: challenge but not aggravate, need imagination to modify • Total patient: cardio, uninjured limb, kinetic chain Objectives • 1. Prevent deconditioning – Keep up cardio – Use areas not effected (ie wrist and hand during shoulder immobilization) • 2. Rehabilitation of injured part – Knowledge of injury, healing process, and methods to be effective and safe Goals • Ultimate goal? – Safe but quick, aggressive but guarded • Objective and measurable – Girth, ROM, strength, pain • Short and Long term – What is a typical long term goal? – Short term- weekly/biweekly, determined by pt’s response, reasonable and attainable • Ex: reduce edema by 1 cm and increase ROM 15 degrees in 1 week Examination and Assessment • Done continually from time of inx to RTP • Use to set goals Progression • Exercise progression (isometric -> isotonic-> isokinetic -> plyometric) • Program progression- pt must have flexibility before performing advanced skills Outcomes-Based Rehab • Assessed using a tool devised for measuring patient’s response and satisfaction • 2 categories: general health and region specific • Used to modify tx, justify tx, evaluate effectiveness of protocols, judge appropriateness of tx responses, asssit in authorization of payment Basic Components Proprioception, coordination, agility Strength and Muscle Endurance Flexibility and ROM Flexibility & ROM • Flexibility- mobility of muscle – Muscles loses flexibility when immobilized • ROM- movement possible at a joint – Affected by joint capsule, ligaments, fascia, scar tissue • Strength- if pt doesn’t have strength to move through ROM Flexibility & ROM • Must be first thing regained – Other parameters are based on flexibility of affected area – ROM’s impact on healing process • Scar tissue Strength and Muscular Endurance • Strength- maximum force that a muscle or muscle group can exert – Amount of weight in one rep • Muscular endurance- muscle’s ability to sustain a sub-maximal force in either a static or repetitive activity over time – Gymnast, marathon runner • Need both – Pitcher may have good strength, but only for 10 pitches • When you improve in strength, also gains in endurance and vice versa Proprioception, Coordination,Agility • If any are impaired, increased risk of injury • Proprioception- body’s ability to transmit afferent information regarding position sense, to interpret the information, and respond consciously or unconsciously to stimulation through appropriate execution of posture and movement • Coordination- ability of muscles to and muscle groups to perform complicated movements • Agility- ability to control direction of the body or its parts during rapid movement RTP Criteria • Fully examine and asses the injured area, the patient’s ability to withstand demands of the sport, and patient’s readiness to return to competition. – Full readiness- no pain, swelling, atrophy; full ROM, flexibility, strength, endurance, ability to perform sport specific skills Stages of Grief • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= G_Z3lmidmrY
