Sesamoid Injury Case Study

The athletic trainer will teach the participant how to get a moderate workout accomplished with these exercises within the circuit using the given time frame. Each person must do forty minutes of the moderate aerobic circuit workout, but moderate is not the same for every person so it is important for the athletic trainer to help participants monitor their heart rate. Checking heart rate during your treadmill workout can help adjust an individual to the proper speed. Target heart rate is 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. Subtracting individuals age from 220 gives you your maximum heart rate. The athletic coach will show participants how to check their own pulse by pressing their fingers down on their inner wrist, although a heart

Runners who are unable to continue normal training due to injury may substitute activities such as

What treatments are used and what is included in the sessions all depends of the nature of the condition. Common activities include massage therapy, stretching and exercising and the use of technology such as lasers and ultrasound. Hydrotherapy and electrotherapy sessions may also be included in the treatment programme.

Physical Therapy Assistant is an interesting field; it is a job that helps individuals in need. I interviewed Lucero because she is currently working in the same field that I see myself working in the future. The interview took place on November 29th; it lasted an hour and a half. The interview was about me trying to understand more about my future life as a physical therapist assistant. The purpose of this interview was for me to envision if this is the profession that I want for myself, in the future. A customer that I know from my job, at Metro PCS, introduced me to Lucero. Lucero works as physical therapist assistant, in a physical therapy clinic in Van Nuys; She has been working in this field for about seven years already. Lucero works

Although I have had many injuries growing up, there is one that particularly changed my life for the better. The injury occurred when I was playing eighth grade football. It was August and we were scrimmaging Westfield; a very good team that had a lot of big players. The coach called me onto the field to play fullback, which means that I was probably going to carry the football. As I was running onto the field my heart started to beat a little faster. I had a bad feeling about getting the ball. I thought that I was going to get hurt because on the play prior the fullback ahead of me injured his knee on a run. Everything went well for the first few plays, but on the fifth play the coach called a fullback run. My heart was racing, at the snap of the ball I ran ahead for about an eight yard gain, but on the way down I felt a horrible pain in my right foot. I ended up going to the hospital a half an hour later, the doctor said that I had multiple fractures (6 to be exact), possibly some torn ligaments, and a dislocation of a few bones. I really did a number on myself. The doctor claimed to me that I would be out for at least 6 weeks, which is over halfway through the regular season. The doctor also highly recommended that I go see a sports injury specialist, or a foot specialist.

Following an amputation weight acceptance, single limb support and advancement are essential to achieve a typical gait pattern. Due to the amputation the patient will have a decrease in body weight, which will cause a shift of the center of mass over the base of support. The purpose of the study was to evaluate traditional prosthetic training (TPT) compared to that of propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) methods on gait biomechanics and weight bearing. The study included all male subjects that were all traumatic amputees and in the prosthetic phase of rehabilitation for their first prosthesis. The subjects were randomly assigned into groups receiving PNF and TPT prosthetic training. All of the subjects were equipped with total quadrilateral socket, a constant friction single axis knee joint and a solid ankle cushion heel foot prosthetic. The prior and post training measurements taken were the percentage of weight bearing on the amputated side and temporal distance of gait based on footprints. The training in the TPT group consisted of weight shifting, dynamic balance exercises, braiding, stool stepping, ascending/descending stairs and gait exercises. The PNF group training included the free dynamic balance exercises of the traditional group along with static balance exercises. When the subject was performing the balance exercises the physical therapist would apply resistance in an antagonistic direction. To resist the therapist through these activities the subject had to use co-contraction and isometric contractions. Through these exercises the contractions provided propioceptive feedback not obtained when performing the unresisted balance activities. The PNF group exercises also consisted of approximation to help restore the association between the ground and

After track practice, I couldn’t even run, walk, and move because I pulled my hip flexor during sprinting in track practice. However it was my first year in states and I was not living with my parents, so I couldn’t tell to my host parents my hip flexor might tore, and I couldn’t get good treatment, therapy because I didn’t know what did I have to do and for international student, visiting doctor is too expensive. Therefore my injury lasted almost 2 months, and I couldn’t have good times in track meats.

Therapeutic goals for the fourth phase of rehabilitation include using full range of motion and strength capabilities of the entire affected arm, pain-free participation, and restore their functional abilities to pre-injury level. The previously stated isotonic elbow activities should be continuous to maintain strength in the surround musculature. More complex plyometric activity, such as push-ups, BAPS board, UE ladders, and UE step ups, can be used to progress upper extremity stability. Maintaining core strength while injured is a vital key for transitioning back into the desired sport. Ways that core strength can be achieved is by planks, Russian twist, crunches, and leg lifts. Additionally, cardiovascular fitness can be specifically tailored to their sport. In this phase, more sports specific skills are becoming incorporated into the rehabilitation process. Some modalities during this phase, and through returning the athletes to their sport, are a type of warm modality, such as a heat pack before activity, and a cold modality after activity. The athlete may return to play once they have full range of motion, no pain, full strength, true proprioceptive control, and an adequate cardiovascular fitness level (Houglum,
