Sports injuries and Physiotherapy management.pptxkajal sansoya
Sport injuries refer to kind of injury that occur to a player during sports or exercise.
In other words, the situation which occurs accidently during physical activity or when the player does not remain in the position of participating in the game or his physical ability decreases is also referred to sports injuries.
Direct injury is caused by an external blow or force.
Indirect injury caused by an internal force as over stretching a ligament in sudden change direction.
Overuse injury any repetitive activity can lead to overuse injury, can occur over a period of time, usually due to excessive and repetitive leading of the tissue, with symptoms presenting gradually
Muscle pull
Tennis elbow/ golfer’s elbow
Rotator cuff injury
Frozen shoulder
Tendonitis
Bursitis

A concussion refers to more widespread brain trauma from a blow to the head or swift shaking
Laceration is the tearing of skin with a sharp object or by impact injury from a blunt object or force that results in an irregular wounds.Warm up and cool down
Stretching before and after activity
Cross –train activity
Dress right
Use proper technique
Improve posture
Avoiding DOMS( delayed onset muscle soreness)
Early-stage rehabilitation is gentle exercise allowing for the damaged tissue to heal. This stage is often rushed and will result in poor quality healing and will be prone to re-injury.
Mid-stage rehabilitation involves progressively loading the muscles/tendons/bones or ligaments to develop tensile strength producing a healed tissue that will be able to withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life and exercise.
Late – the final stage (late) of rehabilitation is where the tissue adapts and is stressed using functional exercises and drills to ensure the body is ready to return to play.
Pilates is a system of repetitive exercises performed on a yoga mat or other equipment to promote strength, stability, and flexibility. Pilates exercises develop the body through muscular effort that stems from the core.

Overuse
Trauma injures
Sprains/strains
Fractures and dislocations
Injuries which occur when any body part gets hit by an impactful blunt force like a kick, fall or blow. Impact of the trauma damages the soft tissue leading to contusions, bruises and concussions.
In this type of injuries discolouration , swelling and pain is noticed. Sprain is a stretch or tear in a ligament. “ligaments are flexible bands of fibrous tissues connecting bones to bones, bones to joints and bones to cartilage. When these get torn or stretched, it results in a sprain, most likely in ankles, knees and wrists.”
Muscle pull or tearing of muscle occurs when you overstress your muscle again and again causes damage to muscle fibers .
The tearing may be major or minor
Hamstring muscle pull is most common in gym injuries.
Muscle strain occurs when a particular muscle gets injured due to a pull or twist. This type of injury can happen when people don’t warm up or properly stretch their bodies enough before working out.
You can also get a strain while jogging or doing weight training.
Some common types of strains you may come across while gymming:
Golfer’s elbow
Tennis elbow
Lumbar strain
Jumper’s knee
Runner’s kneewhen the ends of two connected bones separate from each other, it is known as dislocation. This happens when the ligament is hit by some extreme force or blow.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory
to prevent antimicrobial overuse, misuse and abuse.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Classification and progression
RA at different joints
Investigation
Complication
Management
3. it is an autoimmune disorder in which
the joint lining and other tissues
become inflamed as a result of over
activity of body immune system.
RA is chronic, systemic, inflammatory
disorder that primarily involves the
joints.
4.
5. • 10 cases per 1000 people or 2.1 million
adults in the united states
• Affects women two times more than
males at all ages.
• There is general increase in prevalence
for both gender with increasing age.
6. • Like many other chronic disease the etiology of
RA is unknown.
• A specific etiological agent for RA has not been
identified.
• Based on the fact that individuals with RA
produce antibodies to their own
immunoglobulins , there is some reason to
believe that RA is an autoimmune disorder
• It is not clear whether this antibody
production is a primary event or result as a
response to a specific antigen from an external
stimulus.
7. • RHEMUATOID FACTOR-
RF have received considerable attention
in search for a causative agent in RA
because they are found in the serum of
approximately 70% of all patients with
RA.
8. • Chronic RA is characterized by the
grossly edematous appearance of the
synovium with hair like projections
into the joint cavity.
• There are distinctive vascular changes,
including venous distention, capillary
obstruction, neutrophilic infiltration of
the arterial walls, and areas of
thrombosis and hemorrhage
9. • Pannus - synovial proliferation of
vascular granulation tissue, dissolves
collagen as it extends over the joint
cartilage. Granulation tissue will
eventually result in adhesion, fibrosis or
bony ankylosis of the joint.
10. • Chronic inflammation can also weaken
the joint capsule and it supporting
ligamentous structures, altering
structures and function.
• Tendon rupture and damaged tendon
sheath may produce imbalance muscle
pull resulting in deformities seen in
advanced RA.
11.
12.
13. 1. Morning stiffness
2. Arthritis of three or more joint areas-
at least three joint areas
simultaneously have had soft tissues
swelling or fluid.
3. Arthritis of hand joints ( wrist, MCP,
PIP).
4. Symmetric arthritis
5. Rheumatoid nodules
14. 6. Serum rheumatoid
factor
7. Radiographic changes-
include erosion or
unequivocal bony
decalcification
localized in or most
marked adjacent to
the involved joint.
15.
16.
17. • No destructive changes on radiographic
examination
• Radiographic evidence of osteoporosis
may be present.
18. • Radiographic evidence of osteoporosis with
or without slight subchondral bone
destruction , slight cartilage destruction
may be present.
• No joint deformities ,but limitation of ROM
may be present.
• Adjacent muscle atrophy
• Extra – articular soft tissue lesions such as
nodules and tenosynovitis may be present
19. • Radiographic evidence of cartilage and bone
destruction in addition to osteoporosis.
• Joint deformity such as subluxation, ulnar
deviation or hyperextention , without
fibrous or bony ankylosis
• Extensive muscle atrophy
• Extra- articular soft tissue lesion such as
nodules and tenosynovitis may present
20. • Fibrous or bony ankylosis
• Criteria of stage 3
21. • 50 % takes place at
the atlanto-axial
joint.
• Ankylosing
spondylitis
22. • Involvement of
GH, SC, AC joint
and ST also
• Degeneration ,
pain, low ROM.
• Capsule and
ligaments become
distended with
chronic
inflamation
23. • Capsular and
ligamentous
distention, and joint
surface erosion may
lead to elbow
instability.
• Flexion contracture
may result from
persistent spasm
secondary to pain.
24. • Development of flexion contractures
which ultimately diminishes the ability
to execute power grasp.
• Volar subluxation results from chronic
inflammation of the proximal carpals
• Stenosing tenosynoitis may also occur
29. • Type 1 deformity- MCP flex, IP
hyperextension without CMC
involvement .
• Type II deformity- CMC is subluxed , IP
hyperextension.
• Type III deformity- CMC subluxed , MCP
hyperextension commonly found in RA.
30. • Less
commonly
involved in RA
• Severe
inflammatory
destruction of
the femoral
head and the
acetabulum
into the pelvic
cavity .
31. • Distention of the
joint capsule and
attenuation of
ligaments.
• Painful knees may
be held in slightly
flexed positions,
ultimately
resulting to
flexion
contractures.
32. • Hindfoot pronation
• Flattening of the ML arch
• Calcaneal exostoses
• Splayfoot
• Metatarsalgia

patient with RA are RF positive
• RF (+) can be seen in other diseases such
as rheumatic , viral, bacterial, parasitic,
neoplasm .
38. • GOALS-
• relief of pain
