Unit 18: Sport injuries
Assignment 3
By Saiful
, Introduction
In this assignment, I will describe what the term rehabilitation and discuss its relevance to sport. I will go on to describe
the five stages of rehabilitation in sports and will explain what needs to happen during each of these stages. After this, I
will select two athletes from two different sports, create a client background and give them two common injuries to
recover from. I will explain how I would assess the player to identify their injury. After this, I will describe the rehabilitation
for the different players through the five different stages. I will make sure to outline goals and targets for the clients
throughout their rehabilitation program. I will also explain the activities that the players will be doing in each of the five
stages. Finally, I will justify my recommendations using research and references to back up my recommendations.
“Rehabilitation is a step-by-step process that helps people to recover. The goal of rehabilitation is to help people function
as effectively as possible after a life-changing event.” (carergateway) - reference at the end
“Sport Rehabilitators help people suffering from pain, injury or illness involving the musculoskeletal system. They help
people of all ages to maintain their health and fitness, recover from and prevent injury and reduce pain using exercise,
movement and manual based therapeutic interventions.” (basrat)
