Concepts of Rehabilitation
Therapeutic excercise - ANS-Systematic, planned performance of bodily movements,
postures, or physical activities with the goal of:
preventing impairment
improving physical function
preventing other related health issues
optimize quality of life
4 phases of therapy - ANS--Acute management
-Increase tissue load tolerance, address biomechanics, maintain general condition
-Replicate sport specific demands
-Prevent re-injury
How many minutes a week of aerobic exercise should people get? - ANS-30 minutes
moderate intensity 5 days a week
20 minutes high intensity 3 days a week
How much strength training should a person get each week? - ANS-8-12 reps of 8-10
exercises, 2-3 days per week
How much should people work on flexibility training each week? - ANS-60 second
stretches 2-3 days per week
How much should people work on neuromotor development per week? - ANS-20-30
minutes 2-3 times per week
Goals of acute care - ANS-Control edema and inflammation, protect damaged
structures, progress healing through movement and increase function
True or false; cool is more effective than cold at controlling inflammation - ANS-True
Goals of subacute/intermediate care - ANS-Optimize mechanics, protect forming
collagen, prevent cross-linking and fibrosis, initiate and progress strength, prevent
chronic pain
What is the progression for movement - ANS-PROM, AAROM, AROM
Isometric, concentric, coupled concentric and eccentric, power
