Most Common Sports Injuries
Types of sports injuries.
Sprained ankle
Muscle strains: overstretching or
tearing of a muscle, range in severity
Dislocation: moving of a bone out of its normal position
Sublaxation: pops out of place and pops back in by its own
Fractures: occurs when a bone is compressed, twisted or
struck with a force greater than the bone can withstand.
one of them is
First action in such injuries?
-Rest
-Cryotherapy (Ice)
- Compression -
Elevation:to help
decrease swelling.
Joints
What is a “joint”?
A site in which
2 or more
bones meet
together
What are joints
classified according
to?
Joints are classified according to 1) MOBILITY 2)THE
CONNECTING STRUCTURE BETWEEN THE ARTICULAR
SURFACES
What are the 3 types of joints?
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
Classification
According to
axes of movement?
Uniaxial: pivot and hinge. Biaxial:
saddle, ellipsoid, and condyloid.
Multiaxial: Plane and ball-socket.
number of
articulating bones?
Simple: 2 bones only; radioulnar, and
acromioclavicular. Compound: more than 2
bones; elbow. Complex: contains
intra-capsular structures; knee.
shape of the
articular
surfaces.
-plane-pivot-ball and socket- saddle-
ellipsod- condyloid
What makes the
synovial joint
stable?
The shape of articular surface. (most stable? Least stable?) Muscle
tone of surrounding muscles. Ligaments of the joint. (capsular and
extra-capsular) Negative intra-articular pressure.
ANATOMY OF SHOULDERS
Swimmer’s Shoulder
What is the
Swimmer’s Shoulder
Syndrome ?
musculoskeletal condition that results in
symptoms in the area of the anterior
lateral aspect of the shoulder, sometimes
confined to the subacromial region.
What are the
consequences
?
Rotator cuff tendinitis refers to irritation of these tendons and
inflammation of the bursa (a normally smooth layer) lining these
tendons.A rotator cuff tear occurs when one of the tendons is
torn from overuse or injury
Physical Examination
1) Inspection
View from the rear, with the patient standing straight Expose
the affected shoulder- Inspect the skin color + surface
-Height of the shoulder
2) Palpation
clavicle-
acromioclavicular joint-
coracoid process -
borders of the scapula
3) ROM
4) Special Tests
Impingement test
drop arm test
Management
Painkillers & NSAIDS
surgery (in some cases)
physiotherapy
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS
Electrotherapeutic modalities
Transcutaneous
Electrical
Nerve
Stimulation
Aid in pain relief.
Functional Electrical
Stimulation
interfaces with a
patient’s nerve or
muscle tissue via
surface or implantable
electrodes to cause a
functional movement
Iontophoresis
Electrical stimulation
of charged chemicals
can cause their
passage through the
skin.
Laser acupuncture
1) The technique
involves zapping sore
joints with a
powerful beam of
light. 2) reduction in
pain and discomfort
and an improvement
in their quality of life.
Traction
technique of using a pulling
force to overcome the
static positioning of joints,
bones, and soft tissues.
The purpose of
traction is to guide the
body part back into
place and hold it
steady.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
GATE-CONTROL THEORY
shoulder pain
causes
Poor posture
Rotator Cuff Disease:
Tendinitis and Bursitis
tendons
become
inflamed
Bursitis occurs when
the bursa—a small
fluid-filled sac that
helps protect the
shoulder joint—is
inflamed.
Frozen Shoulder
Fracture
Arthritis of the Shoulder
Osteoarthritis—a
disease caused by
wear and tear of the
cartilage.
Rheumatoid
arthritis—an
autoimmune disease
causing one or more
joints to become
inflamed.
Differential diagnosis
Instability
Subluxation: partial dislocation of a
joint, so that the bone ends are
misaligned but still in contact.
Dislocation: complete loss
of contact of the joint
surfaces
