WORKSHEET SPORTS INJURIES Sports injuries are not uncommon and can be either acute (sprains, fractures, tears, etc.) or chronic (tendinitis, overuse, etc.). BONE INJURIES BONE FRACTURE Break in the bone is known as fracture. Different forms of Fractures: 8318522860Simple Fracture Stress Comminuted Fracture Impacted Fracture: Compound fracture Complete Fracture: Incomplete Fracture Symptoms of Fracture: Following are some of the common symptoms of any fracture: Swelling of the affected area Inability to carry out functions of the injured area Deformity of limb. Bruising around the affected area. Treatments for Fracture: Use of splint or cast for ensuring immobilization Realigning the bone with the help of surgery known as open reduction. Rehabilitation is conducted as preventive measure against stiffness. WHAT IS TERMED AS DISLOCATION OF JOINTS 3864610309880216535176530The joint which loses its original place or slips out from its natural place is termed in medical terminology as ‘dislocated joint’. Following are some of the common signs and symptoms of dislocated joint. Swelling around the joint area Severe pain. Difficulty in moving (immobility) the affected joint Treatment of Dislocated Joint Medication, the main aim of medication is to relieve the pain and reduce swelling In certain severe cases of joint dislocation a surgery may be recommended. Such surgery is conducted to repair or tighten ligaments that have been stretched as a result of joint dislocation WHAT ARE SHIN SPLINTS? 87630419100The term shin splints is a name often given to any pain at the front of the lower leg. This has lead to the use of terms such as Medial Tibial Traction Periostitis. Symptoms of shin splints: Pain over the inside lower half of the shin. Pain at the start of exercise which often eases as the session continues Pain often returns after activity and may be at its worse the next morning. Sometimes some swelling. Lumps and bumps may be felt when feeling the inside of the shin bone. A redness over the inside of the shin (not always present). What can the athlete do about shin splints? Rest to allow the injury to heal. Apply ice or cold therapy in the early stages. Stretch the muscles of the lower leg. Wear shock absorbing insoles in shoes. Maintain fitness with other non weight bearing exercises such as swimming, cycling or running in water. Apply heat and use a heat retainer or shin and calf support after the initial acute stage and particularly before training. MUSCULAR INJURIES Strains, Tears and cramps and repetitive stress injury are some of the most common forms of muscle injuries. MUSCLE STRAIN Muscle strain or muscle pull or even a muscle tear implies damage to a muscle or its attaching tendons. Muscle Strain Symptoms: Swelling, bruising or redness, or open cuts as a consequence of the injury Pain at rest Pain when the specific muscle or the joint in relation to that muscle is used Weakness of the muscle or tendons (A sprain, in contrast, is an injury to a joint and its ligaments.) Inability to use the muscle at all Treatment: Note: Ice or heat should not be applied to bare skin. Always use a protective covering such as a towel between the ice or heat and the skin. Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as aspirin and ibuprofen to reduce the pain and to improve your ability to move around. Protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation (known as the PRICE formula) can help the affected muscle. MUSCLE TEARS -21590183515The most common cause for muscle tears occur from strenuous activity, particularly when the ligaments and muscles are pulled or strained. any kind of repetitive activity, can also cause strains, particularly in the back, neck, or shoulders. MUSCLE CRAMP A muscle cramp is an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. Several vitamin deficiency states may directly or indirectly lead to muscle cramps. These include deficiencies of thiamine (B1), pantothenic acid (B5), and pyridoxine (B6). The role of deficiency of these vitamins in causing cramps is unknown. LIGAMENTS INJURIES 34925071120Your ligaments are tough, elastic-like bands that connect bone to bone and hold your joints in place. A sprain is an injury to a ligament caused by excessive stretching. The ligament can have a partial tear, or it can be completely torn apart. 369316027305 SPRAINS 35560299085Of all sprains, ankle and knee sprains occur most often. Sprained ligaments swell rapidly and are painful.. Treatment: Protect the injured limb from further injury by not using the joint. You can do this using anything from splints to crutches. Rest the injured limb. But don't avoid all activity. Even with an ankle sprain, you can usually still exercise other muscles to minimize deconditioning. Ice the area. Try to ice the area as soon as possible after the injury and continue to ice it for 10 to 15 minutes four times a day for 48 hours. If you use ice, be careful not to use it too long, as this could cause tissue damage. Compress the area with an elastic wrap or bandage. Compressive wraps or sleeves made from elastic or neoprene are best. Elevate the injured limb above your heart whenever possible to help prevent or limit swelling. TENDON INJURIES TENDONITIS 4000590805Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon caused by irritation due to prolonged or abnormal use. The Achilles tendon is a common site where tendonitis occurs. Most tendonitis can be avoid with proper warm-up exercises, rest, and gradual increase in physical activity: Symptoms of tendonitis: Pain or tenderness on the tendon near or around a joint. Stiffness and pain on the tendon, which restricts movement. Occasionally, mild swelling, numbness, or a tingling sensation at the joint. Treatment of tendonitis: Rest. Cold and heat therapy Casts and splints. A doctor may also prescribe oral medication for inflammation and pain. TENDON SEPARATIONS When a rupture of the tendon occurs, the athlete will not be able to move very efficiently, as the structures are now disconnected and unstable. Rehabilitation should be undertaken with the following considerations: Assess the quality and construction of the athletic shoes to be worn. To reduce the risk of a recurrence of the tendon rupture, the shoe should be well cushioned in the heel to lessen the forces of the heel strike on impact. Where the alignment of the lower leg is believed to be a factor in the cause of the rupture, an orthotic should be considered. A thorough warm up, with attention paid to the stretching of the entire lower leg structure, is of critical importance. Hard running, such as hill running or sprinting, should be avoided in this phase.
