Rehabilitation of Thigh and Knee Injuries and Shoulder Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of the LE: Thigh and Knee Injuries
• Identify common muscular injuries involving the quadriceps, hamstring, and groin areas. • Recall typical sports-related injuries to the thigh and apply appropriate treatment and rehabilitation strategies. • Apply different rehabilitation strategies based on stages of healing for soft tissue injuries of the thigh. • Recognize appropriate activities to increase muscular strength and endurance for the hamstring, quadriceps, and groin muscle groups. • Identify appropriate functional activities for rehabilitation of thigh injuries. • Identify activities that may cause detrimental stress on a healing/reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, or lateral collateral ligament. • Identify activities that may cause detrimental stress on the patellofemoral joint. • Develop appropriate rehabilitation programs for athletes with a variety of knee injuries. • Determine when to advance an athlete's rehabilitation program by using specifi c measurable criteria. • Discuss the reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of arthrometry, lower extremity functional tests, and isokinetics. • Interpret information obtained from an arthrometer, lower extremity functional tests, and measures of strength.
Shoulder Rehabilitation
• Incorporate biomechanical principles of the shoulder as they relate to prevention and postinjury or postsurgical rehabilitation for specific injuries. • Associate anatomic structures of the shoulder to particular injuries based on function of the structures during the pitching act. • Explain the role of the rotator cuff in shoulder arthrokinematics and prevention of injury. • Develop a rehabilitation program for specific pathologic shoulder conditions that takes into account the biomechanical function and healing parameters for the anatomic structures involved. • Advance an athlete through phases of shoulder rehabilitation based on specific criteria for progression. • Incorporate rehabilitation limitations and concerns for specific postinjury and postsurgical pathologic shoulder conditions.
