- What are the three classic phases of tissue healing used to guide a rehabilitation program?
Show answer
Inflammatory, proliferative (repair), and maturation (remodeling) phases.- During the acute inflammatory phase of healing, what is the primary rehabilitation goal?
Show answer
Control pain and swelling while protecting the injured tissue.- Approximately how long does the inflammatory phase of healing typically last?
Show answer
About 0 to 4 days after injury.- What is the primary goal of the proliferative (repair) phase of rehabilitation?
Show answer
Restore range of motion and begin early, protected strengthening as new tissue forms.- Approximately how long does the proliferative (fibroblastic repair) phase of healing last?
Show answer
Roughly 4 days to 6 weeks after injury.- What is the primary goal of the maturation (remodeling) phase of rehabilitation?
Show answer
Restore full strength, power, and sport-specific function in preparation for return to play.- What does the acronym PRICE stand for in acute injury management?
Show answer
Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.- What does the newer acronym POLICE stand for in acute injury management?
Show answer
Protection, Optimal Loading, Ice, Compression, Elevation.- Why did "Optimal Loading" replace "Rest" in updated acute injury management guidance?
Show answer
Controlled early loading promotes better tissue healing than complete rest.- What is the SAID principle in rehabilitation?
Show answer
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands: the body adapts specifically to the type of stress placed on it.- What training principle states that a tissue must be stressed beyond its current capacity to improve?
Show answer
The overload principle.- What is the principle of reversibility (detraining) in rehabilitation?
Show answer
Gains in strength and conditioning are lost once the training stimulus is removed or reduced.- In strength training progression, which comes first: isometric, isotonic, or isokinetic exercise?
Show answer
Isometric exercise.- What is an isometric contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction that generates force without changing muscle length or joint angle.- What is an isotonic contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction that generates force while the muscle changes length and moves a joint through a range of motion.
