Injury Rehabilitation

Both coaches and athletes can use different strategies to stay motivated. One is goal setting. Athletes should be encouraged to set a few

Every elite athlete has psychological training and uses the process of goal setting in order to enhance their performance. Goal setting is used to enhance concentration, build self confidence and to manage time and other resources. (Tony M 1995, page 259)

Description: To begin the study, our group was given an athlete. First, our athlete was asked

Rehabilitation, what is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation is the action of restoring someone to a normal life through training and therapy after incarcerated, addiction or illness. Rehabilitation can be used for an offender who has committed a crime and is incarcerated, someone who is struggling with addiction or illness. Rehabilitation was originated in 1779 by the British Government as part of the Penitentiary Act, rehabilitation would consist of punishment along with treatment for the offenders. (Benjamin Disraeli 2004). The purpose of rehabilitation is to treat the offender in order for the offender to return to society and be able to contribute, rehabilitation is also a punishment for breaking a law.

There are several interventions that correlate with increased physical activity, goal-setting, self-monitoring, and feedback. Several studies have examined the

Following motivation comes confidence, confidence in ability, confidence in rehabilitation, confidence in family and friends

Athletes focus on two forms of rehabilitation when they cope with an injury. These are physical and psychological rehab. “Understand that the player will likely go through a range of emotions following the sports injury” (Stark). These emotions include anger, a sense of loss of identity, fear and anxiety, and depression & loss of confidence. “Sports injury recovery typically focuses on physical rehab, but it is important to include sports psychology skills and techniques to help an athlete recover faster and learn to use physical setbacks to become a

In Damon Burton’s article, “Winning Isn’t Everything: Examining the Impact of Performance Goals on Collegiate Swimmers’ Cognitions and Performance,” (1989) he assesses the effectiveness of a goal setting training (GST) program and the impact it has on collegiate swimmers’ perceived ability, performance, and competitive thoughts, such as anxiety and confidence. In this study, males and females on the varsity swim teams of a Big 10 university either participated in a 5-month long GST program or they did not participate in any program. The season-long training period was necessary to allow athletes the time to acclimate to the program, master goal setting skills, and develop a competitive success history (Burton 1989). In addition, the GST program trained both athletes and coaches in order to create an environment that fosters the development of specific, short-term, and individualized performance goals.

One of the most difficult challenges we as clinicians’ encounter, that directly limits the patient’s success, may be due to the lack of communication between both parties (athletic trainer and athlete/patient) to agree upon a clear plan of action. The SPORT model establishes a plan of action before beginning the process of helping the athlete/patient with a specific situation. The SPORT model provides a goal-setting strategy that can prove to be useful when measuring the patients progress towards achieving a goal/s that were set early on in this process. These objective measures can prove to motivate the athlete/patient as they are able to witness improvement in themselves. Or it can provide valuable feedback that may be indicative of the need for an intervention as a result of goals not being met. The SPORT model essentially applies the locus of control theory in that the athlete believes he/she is in control over the events/outcomes in their lives.

Rehabilitation can have two different meanings- to bring (someone or something) back to a normal healthy conditions after an illness, injury or drug problems; or to teach a criminal in prison to live a normal and productive life. Approaches to treatment range from individual to group methods. Correctional officers must discover what works for which offender in what context.

Overall, Heinermann et al. (2012) found that psychological and psychodeucational services were beneficial to participants, primarily if the participants had a positive outlook about their rehabilitation situation. Specifically, participants who suffered a SCI that was sport-related recovered over two times faster when they utilized positive self-talk, goal-setting, and imagery (Heinermann et al., 2012). In addition, findings related to

What I already know about injury prevention recovery is that it is very important to anyone who is interested in sustaining good health and longevity to their future goals and dreams. Bodybuilding, health and fitness are all life styles that, in order to achieve great success, will take time. I know injury prevention is just as important as going to the gym and training with weights. I know there are certain ways to do things for certain workouts and that everything has to be done with a purpose. Everything is important about maintaining safety while weight training, from injury prevention to injury recovery. What I already know is that there are certain steps to take before and after a workout that have an important purpose.

A torn ACL will not be able to heal on its on however, there are non-surgical options to help ease the injury. A concise and careful rehabilitation program will help aid the physical recovery of an ACL tear, easing the pain and growing the supporting muscles. Non-surgical treatment is only ever seen in elderly patients, with little to no activity levels. An MRI scan is often implicated to try and discover additional injuries that often occur with a torn ACL, which may change the way in which the surgery is conducted (Sutter Health, 2016). Surgical treatments often see the use of a graft, usually taken from the patient’s leg, particularly from either the hamstring or patella tendon (Wallace, B 2017). The graft acts as scaffolding for the new

In work with injured athletes, some sport and exercise psychologists have proposed that certain attitudes might predispose athletes to injury (7). According to this

In this essay I will discuss theoretical principals of rehabilitation of a particular patient I cared for while on clinical placement. It will focus on the role of the multidisciplinary team involved in this rehabilitation process post acute myocardial infarction and the education and support given to the patient and her family during the discharge planning process. Also I will be including statistics and evidence of pathophysiology. The National Service Framework for Older People (Department of Health, 2001) sets out eight standards including standard three about intermediate care services that promote independence and provide effective rehabilitation services. Active rehabilitation is seen to reduce the risks of hospital readmission,
