Q

Physiologically, what occurs with inadequate flexibility?

A

Steeper stress strain curve (Poor dissipation of stress, viscoelastic response, and greater impact of force relaxation)
Change in length-Tension relationship

Q

Physiologically, what occurs with inadequate strength/endurance?

A

Potentially weaker connective tissue

18
Q

Clinically, what occurs with inadequate strength/endurance?

A

Inadequate muscular strength/endurance leading to macrotraumatic or microtraumatic injury
Ipsilateral or contralateral strength imbalance

19
Q

Physiologically, what occurs with dys-synergic contraction?

A

Hybrid muscle with separate innervation (biceps, semitendinosis)
Fiber type and force development (hamstrings, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius/soleus)
Agonist-antagonist relationship

20
Q

Clinically, what occurs with dys-synergic contraction?

A

Injury specific activities and positions (Hamstring deceleration v. acceleration)
Injury specific activities (Sprinters, higher angular velocity activities)
Over-strengthened (powering) antagonists

21
Q

What is econcentric?

A

Where the distal part of the muscle in concentric while the proximal part is eccentric (or reversed)

22
Q

Physiologically, what occurs with insufficient warm-up?

A

Lower intramuscular temperature
Decreased response of mechanical and physical properties of other tissues
Effect on muscle spindle and GTO interaction

23
Q

Clinically, what occurs with insufficient warm-up?

A

Increased frequency of microtraumatic injury
Poorer performance
Increased incidence of dys-synergistic contractions

24
Q

Physiologically, what occurs with inadequate rehabilitation?

A

Insufficient tissue maturation
Insufficient load tolerance
Sub-optimal condition and performance

25
Q

Clinically, what occurs with inadequate rehabilitation?

A

Re-injury
Chronicity of injury
Other compensatory injuries

26
Q

What are the 10 rehabilitative principles?

A

Prevention is easier than treatment
Intervention depends on healing stage
“Active rest” (guarded mobility) rather than mobility
Medications and modalities- important adjuncts
Develop a flexible tissue
Develop a strong tissue
“Said” principle is vital
Utilize the “progressive velocity flexibility program”
Pain is the guiding factor
No “quick fix” is possible

27
Q

What is the SAID principle?

A

Specific
Adaptation to
Imposed
Demands

28
Q

How can you prevent injury?

A

Education of patient regarding correct program
Proper utilization of warm-up and preventative flexibility program
Appropriate prophylaxis and self intervention in early phases

29
Q

How is rest associated with rehabilitation?

A

Only used when absolutely necessary
“Active rest” used whenever possible rather than complete rest
Motion within the pain free range of motion is encouraged

30
Q

What are three common modalities used in rehabilitation?

A

Cryotherapy (Early-limit inflammation, Late-prophylactic)
Thermotherapy (Late stage-improves circulation, healing, connective tissue mobility)
Electrical stimulation (Early-limit hemorrhage, Late- healing, strength, neuronal effect?)

31
Q

What medications are used during rehabilitation?

A

Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (nsaids)

Phonophoresis

32
Q

What are the positive effects of nsaids during rehabilitation?

A

33
Q

What are the negative effects of nsaids during rehabilitation?

A

Systematic
Not local
Not Direct

36
Q

When exercising, what should be kept in mind in the early stages?
