ANSWERS✔✔ Ways to classify Sports Injuries
Soft Tissue Injuries
Hard Tissue Injuries
Assessment of Injuries
SDP: Ways to classify Sports Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Direct and Indirect
Soft and Hard Tissue
Overuse
Direct Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ External force is applied
to the body causing injury. Example, cricket batsman developing a
contusion on the shoulder by being struck on the arm by the ball
,Indirect Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Caused by an internal
force in the body. Example, soccer player straining ankle
Soft Tissue Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Occur in muscles,
tendons, ligaments as well as the skin. Example, Sprinter strains their
hamstring in push-off
Hard Tissue Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Injuries to bones
and teeth. Example, boxer breaks teeth in match
Overuse Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Caused by repetitive
stress or strain on the body. Occur over time. Example, Tennis player
develops tendinitis in elbow from too many backhands
SDP: Soft Tissue Injuries - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Tears, sprains
contusions
Skin abraisions, lacerations, blisters
Inflammatory response
(SLT: Management)
Tear - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Damage to a muscle or tendon
caused by over-stretching of the muscle fibres, causing some or all of
these fibres to tear
, Strain - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Aka tear, when muscle
fibres/tendons fail to cope with demands placed on them
Sprain - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Damage to ligament (holds
muscle to bone)
Contusion - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Caused by a collision with
another person or object; causes local muscle damage and bleeding
Abrasion - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Occurs when surface layers of
skin have been broken
Laceration - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Causes damage to skin and
underlying tissue
Blister - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Outer layers of skin are separated
due to excessive friction- causes pocket of fluid
Inflammatory Response - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A natural
response immediately following tissue damage. Blood rushes to the site,
causing redness and swelling (Oedema), heat and reduced function.
Often excessive and slows the healing process, without RICER, collagen
replaces the damaged tissue, and scar tissue produced which is bulky
and limits future movement and strength.
