Functional / Sports Specific Rehabilitation
Phase 1 – Immediate Post-Injury
Aims of the treatment during Phase 1 are to: Assess the injury Prevention of initial swelling Protect the injured part from further damage
Treatment should involve S.A.L.T.A.P.S. (we looked at this in Topic 3)
Phase 2 – Acute Phase Aims of the treatment during Phase 2 are to: Control bleeding & swelling Reduce pain Protect from further damage Apply modifications if required (e.g. Crutches if non-weight bearing needed) Offer advice
Treatment should involve P.R.I.C.E. (We looked at this in Topic 3)
Phase 3 – Sub-Acute Phase Aims of the treatment during Phase 3 are to: Absorb swelling & products from inflammation (e.g. dead cells)
Hot & cold therapy Massage Elevation
Promote healing & assist growth of new cells
Hot & cold therapy
Protect from further injury
Use of bandages, crutches etc
Develop scar tissue
Soft tissue stretching Massage
Introduce non-weight bearing mobilisation exercises
Range of motion exercises
Introduce non-weight bearing strengthening exercises
Strengthening exercises
Phase 4 – Active Rehabilitation Aims of the treatment during Phase 4 are to: Remobilise the joint & increase the range of motion
Range of motion exercises
Re-strengthen the muscles acting on the joints
Strengthening exercises
Increase the extensibility of scar tissue
Stretching Massage

Bandages / strapping Walking aids (crutches) Partial weight bearing
Maintain endurance & fitness of the Modernise exercise programme to rest of the body include alternative exercise e.g. Swimming, static bike, isokinetic arm cycler

Select 2 specific sports injuries and plan safe and appropriate treatment
and rehabilitation
programmes accordingly, with tutor support. The injuries selected should be done so with care, as appropriate selection will provide scope for learners to cover the range of criteria P6, M3 and D2. (E.g., a fracture to the tibia and fibula has more scope than a bruise…) •
It should clearly state the treatment and rehabilitation, methods to improve: the lost range of motion, strengthening and coordination exercises, psychological considerations, the need for a carefully structured approach to rehabilitation and relevant documentation and tracking of the treatment and rehabilitation programme.
Treatment: Based on accurate diagnosis, eg immediate and long term, use of specialist help and advice
Rehabilitation: Identification of stages of rehabilitation, eg stages 1-5, acute stage to re-establishing functional activity, strengthening exercises, on-going treatments, gradual increase in activity Programme: Methods to improve the lost range of motion, psychological considerations, various goals, tracking of treatment- all within the programme
