3. Some Specific Muscle Problems Indicative to Athletics

4. Contusion

5. Myositis Ossificans Traumatica Build up of Ca in muscle tissue –Results in extra boney formation Caused from a contusion –Build up of blood –Body “thinks” it’s a Fx –Sends Calcium to “Repair” Contusion Control –Ice –Compression –Padding EARLY IDENTIFICATION

7. Cramps Severe, Painful Spasms Tetanic Contractions Causes –Fatigue –Disease –Illness –Dehydration Loss of water/electrolytesLoss of water/electrolytes First Aid –Ice / Stretch Prevention –Strength / Endurance –Staying Healthy/knowing when to sit out –Proper diet and fluid replacement –NO RED BULL

10. Strains Concentric or Eccentric loading of the muscle Graded like Sprains –1, 2, 3 Time out depends on severity of the injury and strength before the injury First Aid –Ice –Stretching –Rest –Rehab Return to Play –Run/Cut/Jump/Load Prevention –Flexibility / Strength

12. Other Issues to Muscle Tissue Regardless if you are an athlete or not

13. Trichinosis Parasitic Disease –Parasitic Worm found in Pork S/S –Itching –Burning –Myalgia –Cramps Prevention –Cook your Pork

15. Polio Poliomyelitis Viral disease Inflammation of the myelin sheath around the muscle S/S –Weakens muscle tissue –Atrophy –Paralysis Prevention –Vaccine

18. Duchennes Disease Type of Muscular Dystrophy Genetic Disease Pseudohypertrophy –Atrophy masked by fat and fibrous tissue production Painful Weakness of muscle tissue Death

20. Myasthenia Gravis Autoimmune Disease –Body Attacks itself Chronic disease Attacks the neuromuscular junction Muscle weakness in the face and throat –Unable to swallow Severe muscle weakness in the limbs Lead to Respiratory Failure
