Study Notes
Rehabilitation and Management of Acute Injuries
- PRICE Method: A critical approach for controlling swelling, consisting of Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.
Protection
- Use of splints, pads, immobilization devices, and crutches to shield the injury from additional harm.
Restricted Activity (Rest)
- Rest duration varies by injury severity; typically, minor injuries may require 24-48 hours before rehabilitation can commence.
- Avoiding rest may lead to complications, such as scar formation and impaired muscle regeneration.
Ice Application
- Ice aids in controlling metabolism and reducing secondary cell hypoxia following an injury.
- Decreases pain through vasoconstriction and controls hemorrhaging.
- Reduces muscle spasms and guarding, contributing to pain management by decreasing nerve conduction velocity.
- Pain sensations may vary from cold discomfort to aching and numbness.
Compression
- Compression is vital for managing initial swelling; it mechanically reduces space for fluid accumulation.
- An Ace wrap provides effective compression; it should be firm yet evenly distributed.
- Continuous wrapping may cause discomfort, but it is necessary to control swelling and avoid circulatory issues.
Elevation
- Elevating the injured area combats blood pooling due to gravity and enhances venous and lymphatic drainage.
- Improved elevation correlates with better swelling control.
Pain Control
- Pain levels are influenced by injury extent, athlete's pain perception, and incident circumstances.
- Immediate implementation of the PRICE method can modulate pain.
- Pain can hinder rehabilitation progress, requiring careful monitoring during recovery.
Restore Range of Motion (ROM)
- Restrictions in ROM often stem from muscle and tendon issues or connective tissue contractures.
- Stretching exercises may be necessary to combat impediments to mobility.
Heat vs. Cold Therapy
- Assessing the state of the injury helps determine whether heat or cold is appropriate; responses to specific questions can guide this decision.
- Increased warmth, sensitivity to touch, and swelling during activity suggest continued cold therapy is needed.
Healing Process and Rehabilitation Program
- SAID Principle: Adapting to stresses placed on an injured structure promotes recovery, but balance is crucial; too little stress hinders progress while too much may exacerbate the injury.
- Early rehabilitation focuses on submaximal exercises, promoting gradual progression in intensity.
Goals of Rehabilitation
- Control swelling through effective first aid.
- Address swelling causes, including bleeding and inflammatory fluid buildup, to prevent neuromuscular inhibition and pain.
Restoring Muscle Strength, Endurance & Power
- Isometric Exercises: Used in early rehab for static muscle contraction without length change.
- Isotonic Exercises: Involves free weights and resistance training to enhance strength through controlled contractions.
- Isokinetic Exercises: Employed in later rehab phases to maintain fixed speeds and allow for both concentric and eccentric contractions.
Neuromuscular Control
- A primary concern in rehabilitation, relying on the central nervous system to process proprioceptive information.
- Restoring neuromuscular control necessitates repetitions and documented progress, with an emphasis on closed kinetic chain exercises.
Reestablishing Balance
- Requires coordination of muscular forces and strengthening of proprioceptive capabilities to prevent re-injury.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
- Often neglected yet essential; decreases significantly during immobilization.
- Engaging in activities like swimming or cycling can help maintain fitness levels during rehab, despite potential psychological barriers.
Functional Progression
- Involves gradual training through component activities, monitored carefully with pain and swelling as primary indicators for progression.
