NSCA-CSCS CHAPTER 22 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
most often, who makes the final decision of whether or not the athlete is ready to return
to play? - Correct Answers -team physician
Often times, coaches and strength coaches are the first to hear about an athlete's injury
before other members of the sports medicine team (i.e. physician, PT, counselor,
nutritionist). What is a strategy to make sure the sports medicine is on the same page
each week? - Correct Answers -Weekly meetings of the entire sports medicine team so
all members are able to discuss
-training Requirements
-necessary Restrictions for each injured athlete
An activity or practice that is inadvisable or prohibited due to the given injury - Correct
Answers -contraindication
A form of treatment required by the rehabbing athlete - Correct Answers -indication
Example: A softball outfielder with shoulder impingement must maintain LE function, so
the AT may request that the athlete continue to perform LE strength, speed, agility, and
power exercises during shoulder rehab. Therefore, LE exercise is an ______________.
- Correct Answers -indication
(vs. contraindication)
A specific, sudden episode of overload injury to a given tissue, resulting in disrupted
tissue integrity - Correct Answers -Macrotrauma
What is the difference between a dislocation and subluxation? - Correct Answers -
Dislocation: complete displacement of the joint surfaces vs. subluxation: partial
displacement
Classifications of a sprain - Correct Answers --First degree: partial tear of the ligament
without increased joint instability
-Second degree: partial tear with minor joint instability
-Third degree: complete tear with full joint instability
Musculotendinous trauma is classified as either _______ or __________. What is the
difference ? - Correct Answers -strain (if trauma was indirect) or contusion (if direct
trauma)
, This is an area of excess blood and fluid accusation in the tissues surrounding the
injured muscle, which may severely limit the function of the injured muscle - Correct
Answers -contusion
Degrees of strains - Correct Answers --First degree: partial tear of individual fibers;
strong, but painful
-Second degree: partial tear with weak, painful muscle activity
-Third degree: complete tear of the fibers; very weakness and painless
True or false: failure is most likely to occur at the MT junction, within a muscle belly, or
at the tendon attachment to the bone
Why or why not? - Correct Answers -true, compared to within the substance of a tendon
because the collagen fibers of a tendon are significantly stronger than muscle fibers
Overuse injury that results from repetitive, abnormal stress applied to a tissue by
continuous training or training with too little recovery time - Correct Answers -
microtrauma
The most common overuse injury to a bone is called a - Correct Answers -stress
fracture
Overuse injuries may be due to - Correct Answers --Training errors (i.e. poor program
design, excessive volume, inadequate recovery time)
-Faulty biomechanics or technique
-Suboptimal training surfaces (i.e. to o hard or uneven)
-insufficient motor control
-decreased flexibility
-skeletal malalignment and predisposition
What may happen if the cause of tendinitis is left uncorrected? - Correct Answers -
chronic tendinitis or tendinopathy may develop
Tendinopathy is a ____________ condition characterized by minimal __________ and
_______________. - Correct Answers -degenerative, inflammation, neovascularization
Edema inhibits ___________ tissue and can significantly limit function. - Correct
Answers -contractile
i.e. think moving ankle after a sprain
How long does the inflammatory response phase typically last? What affects the
duration? - Correct Answers -Less than a week (typically 2-3 days but depends on if
there is a compromised blood supply and/or if there is more severe structural damage in
which these factors would make this phase longer)
