2. REHABILITATION AND RECONDITIONING CHAPTER 23 ESSENTIALS OF STRENGTH TRAINING AND CONDITIONING Second Edition – Baechle and Earle

3. REHABILIATATION Principles of rehabilitation and reconditioning. Healing tissues must never be overstressed The athlete must fulfil specific criteria to progress from one phase to another during the rehabilitative process. The rehabilitation program must be based on current clinical and scientific research. The program must be adaptable to each individuals specific requirements and goals. Rehabilitation is a team-oriented process requiring all the members of the sports medicine team to work together toward a common goal of returning the athlete to unrestricted competition as quickly and safely as possible.

5. REHABILIATATION Sports medicine team members Strength and conditioning coach This professional uses an understanding of the proper technique and application of several types of exercise to develop a reconditioning program to ready the injured athlete for return to competition.

6. REHABILIATATION Types of injury Marcotrauma – sudden episode of overload injury to a given tissue. Dislocation – complete displacement of the joint surfaces. Subluxation – partial displacement of the joint surfaces. Sprain – ligamentous trauma. First degree – partial tear Second degree – partial tear with joint instability Third degree – complete tear and full joint instability

7. REHABILIATATION Types of injury Contusion – muscle – excess accumulation of blood and fluid in the tissue surrounding the injured muscle. Strain – muscle – tears of muscle fibres. First degree – partial tear. Second degree – partial tear with weak painful muscle activity. Third degree – complete tear, very weak, painless muscle activity. Microtrauma – overuse injury. Stress fractures in bone. Tendinitis – inflammation of the tendon

9. REHABILIATATION Rehabilitation and reconditioning goals and strategies Inflammation Prevention of new tissue disruption and prolonged inflammation with use of relative rest and passive modalities. Function of the cardiorespiratory and surrounding neuromusculosketeal systems must be maintained. No active exercise for the injured area.

10. REHABILIATATION Rehabilitation and reconditioning goals and strategies Repair Prevention of excessive muscle atrophy and joint deterioration of the injured area. Function of the neuromusculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems must be maintained. Possible exercise options include Submaximal isometric, isokentic, and isotonic exercise. Balance and proprioceptive training activities.

11. REHABILIATATION Rehabilitation and reconditioning goals and strategies Remodelling Optimisation of tissue function. Progressive loading of the neuromusculoskeltal and cardiorespiratory systems as indicated. Possible exercise options include Joint angle specific strengthening Velocity specific muscle activity Closed and open kinetic chain exercises Proprioceptive training activities.
