Kin 390T Exam 1

Front 1

The Rehab Team

Back 1

AHLETE-ATC-PHYSICIAN-COACH-S&C specialist-Athlete's family (communication between all is essential, organized by ATC)

Front 2

Rehab Process

Back 2

1. Athlete Injured 2. assessed by ATC 3. ATC contacts physician 4. Athlete meets w/ physician, ATC translates 5. ATC contacts coach, talks about rehab program 6. ATC talks to SC, tells what athlete can/can't do

Front 3

ATC must understand

Back 3

Healing process, psychology of injured athlete, pathomechanics of injury, kinetic chain, soft tissue/bones, joints, nerves

Front 4

Therapeutic exercise vs conditioning

Back 4

Fit athletes are injured less often than poorly conditioned athletes, use same principles, conditioning-restore normal fucntion following exercise Therapeutic-exercise used in rehab program, isolated portion of body

Front 5

Short term goal setting

Back 5

first aid mgmt, minimize pain, core stability/strength, reestablish neuromuscular control, improve postural stability.balance, restore full ROM, muscular strength, endurance, power, CVD fitness, functional progressions

Front 6

Long-term goals

Back 6

return to participation as soon and safely as possible, when and how to progress, change or alter rehab is hard part

Front 7

The cumulative injury cycle

Back 7

1. Acute injury(tear or crush, inflammation --> body's natural splint protects injury) 2. Repetitive injury ( weak & tense, friction, pressure & tension, decreased circulation, Edema-skin rebounds slowly) 3. Constant pressure or tension (Adhesion Fibrosis-scar tissue)

Front 8

Vascular response

Back 8

1. Norepinephrine release results in vasoconstriction, attempt to close any bleeding into the tissue caused by structural damage 2. Period of vasodilation, vessel walls allow an increase in plasma protein into interstitial space (protein leaves cells)

Front 9

Cellular Response

Back 9

release potent inflammatory mediators that act on vasculature, smooth muscle, connective tissue, mucous glands and inflammatory cells. Histamine, settles in connective tissue

Front 10

Phagocytosis

Back 10

process of removing cellular disease
