Types of injuries treated at Pro-Am
Here are some of the areas Pro-Am can help you with
Acute V's Chronic The handling and treatment of acute and chronic injuries are very different. An acute injury is defined “injury with rapid onset due to traumatic episode, but with short duration” like a muscle tear. In Chronic injuries there is a long period of repetitive overload like tennis elbow. Complication of injury Movement requires co-ordination. The sequence of body parts is called the kinetic chain. Each kinetic chain has its own sequence of which the basics is proximal (closet to the trunk) to distal (furthest away from the trunk). Injuries and adaptations in some areas of the kinetic chain can cause problems not only locally but distally. The distal link must compensate for the lack of force delivered through the more proximal links. These changes can cause alteration in technique and decrease performance which increases injury risk. An example would be “a tennis player with stiffness in the lower back may overload the rotator cuff muscles (shoulder stabilizers) while serving in order to generate sufficient power and thus develop a tear.” Acute on Chronic injury. |
