include sports physicians, physiatrists (rehabilitation medicine practitioners), orthopedists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation workers, physical educators, coaches, athletic trainers, psychologists, and nutritionists (Physiopedia contributors, 2018). Communication within the team, the injured athlete, and the coach can hinder the recovery and possibly cause long term issues. Thus communication is paramount if the athlete wishes to return to the field of play in peak performance. When taking part in the course of rehabilitation, seven principles that can assist can be remember with ATC IS IT. The first ‘A’ is to avoid aggravation, which simply means to not do actions that could possibly cause more inflammation or further the damage that has …show more content…
If the injured person is difficult to work with, or shows little to no drive to take the rehabilitation seriously, the team will struggle. To help gain compliance, the team must keep the patient informed. This applies to the overall course of the rehabilitation, along with the expectations and any changes that may take place to better help the patient on the road to recovery. Individualization stands with the fact that each person is different, meaning that every program for recovery will be at least, slightly different. Each person’s physiological and chemical difference mean that two patients may have similar injuries, yet they have vastly different recovery programs. ‘S’ brings the principle of specific sequencing which states that a recovery or rehabilitation plan shall have a specific sequence of events that are predetermined by the team to ensure the best outcome from the program. Intensity is the next principle which stresses that a therapeutic exercise should challenge the patient as well as the injured area, but not to the point where the exercise would cause aggravation. Knowing when to make the exercises more of less intense is based on the amount of communication that happens between the team and the

In all levels of sport, involvement there is a high incidence of injuries that are bound to occur. These injuries can range in severity, from simple cuts and bruises to season or even career ending injuries. In many cases, the injured athlete is initially assessed and diagnosed with whatever ailment they may have. Next, the athlete is treated for that injury whether it be surgery, physical therapy, or both and then is given time to physically recover from that injury. This execution of treatment is known as the biomedical model, which the majority of physicians in today’s practice use. This plan seems to be universal and effective in many cases. What many
There's nothing worse than watching everyone around progress and enhance their skills during games and practice, while you as a player have taken multiple steps back in becoming the best possible player you can be. Having experienced this overwhelming state of self pity, due to obtaining a concussion, a knee injury, and multiple ankle injuries that have kept me from doing what I love. Injury is inevitable in soccer, however, there are methods to prevent a player from getting injured. My dream is to learn the techniques required to assist my fellow athletes in their struggle against injury. Every athlete that walks into a doctors office is looking for a solution to some problem, they cannot solve on his or her own.
First, is the education of the patient, if the athlete is willing to report and communicate the problem to the appropriate personnel at the moment and time when it happens, the medical staff will be on the ability of removing the athlete from participation if it is necessary. In addition of educating the athletes, it will be vital to focus on the education of coaches, and parents over the consequences of this injury, the responses of the athlete during the injury, importance of reporting this to the medical personnel (Athletic trainer), and acceptance of the injury. By increasing the awareness of the injury, the medical staff will be more accurate, precise, and the time of recovery will be lower since the athlete will report it in a shorter period of time.
When playing any athletic sport, there are multiple risks that a player, such as I, may encounter while participating in each sport. Growing up in a sports family, meant I played multiple sports as a young athlete, such as, baseball, football, basketball and swimming. During my younger sports years, I cannot recall any major injuries or concussions in any of the sports I played. While practicing and participating in any sport or activity it is necessary to take precautions, by using the proper equipment and good technique before, during, and after the activity. As an athlete with many hours of practice and conditioning, I felt I ready for almost anything life could throw at me. As an athlete, I have pushed my body to the limit and my body started to push back with injuries leading to partial fractures, MCL tears, and UCL strain.
Analysing the effects, recovery and prevention assist in determining the extent of what the injury does to individuals participating in the popular well-known sport.
Athletic trainers in today’s sports world receive pressure everyday when it comes to deciding when to return an athlete to play. Athletic trainers have such a big responsibility when it comes to the health and care of the athletes that they work with. Trainers are the first person that an athlete will see when they become injured during a game, and in most cases when the athlete performs rehab. The athlete depends on the athletic trainer to diagnose his or her injury, and then help him or her recovery to pre-injury health. With this responsibility also comes consequence.

Mr. Andrew stated that the impact his alcohol addiction had on his family was serious, and that he holds guilt and shame related to his wife having to support the family by herself when he was in treatment. Before alcohol treatment, she was contemplating divorcing him because of his alcoholism. He stated that she does not hold his past against him but that he feels guilty for all of the pain that caused their family. He stated that his mother was always concerned about him and afraid for his health. Mr. Andrew stated that he has no idea how he had the ability to continue working during his active addiction being that he drank before and after work. Mr. Andrew expresses guilt surrounding spending a lot of time drinking with his friends instead of with his family. He stated, “All I wanted to do was drink alcohol, and me and my friends would drink all day. When one of us would run out we alcohol we would call the next friend that may have alcohol, and when we drank up all of that alcohol we would contact the next person that had alcohol, it was a vicious cycle.” Mr. Andrew stated that he does have fears that he might have a relapse, but he
Athletes focus on two forms of rehabilitation when they cope with an injury. These are physical and psychological rehab. “Understand that the player will likely go through a range of emotions following the sports injury” (Stark). These emotions include anger, a sense of loss of identity, fear and anxiety, and depression & loss of confidence. “Sports injury recovery typically focuses on physical rehab, but it is important to include sports psychology skills and techniques to help an athlete recover faster and learn to use physical setbacks to become a
Along with the two short-term goals, the athletes and coaches will adhere to two long-term goals. The first of the two goals is to reestablish a team environment of trust and support for individuals with injuries. Reestablishing this trust and rapport will not happen over night and it will take time to get the entire team out of the habit of thinking taking a rest day is bad. This needs to be maintained and upheld in large part to the coaching staff so as not to revert back into old habits; with leadership and understanding of those that suffer injuries, the athletes will follow suit. To follow this, the teams second long term goal is to reduce the number of overtraining injuries that are sustained. In re-working the culture of the team it
Because this focuses on such a specific rehabilitation type, it provides a deeper insight on rehabilitation.
In this essay I will discuss theoretical principals of rehabilitation of a particular patient I cared for while on clinical placement. It will focus on the role of the multidisciplinary team involved in this rehabilitation process post acute myocardial infarction and the education and support given to the patient and her family during the discharge planning process. Also I will be including statistics and evidence of pathophysiology. The National Service Framework for Older People (Department of Health, 2001) sets out eight standards including standard three about intermediate care services that promote independence and provide effective rehabilitation services. Active rehabilitation is seen to reduce the risks of hospital readmission,
