Rehabilitation of muscle injuries
1Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle.
Abstract:
Rehabilitation of muscle injuries is directed toward restoration of function, not just relief of symptoms. This philosophy is reflected in the goals of rehabilitation, which can be stated as 1) establishment of an accurate diagnosis; 2) minimization of deleterious local effects of the acute injury; 3) allowance for proper healing; 4) maintenance of other components of athletic fitness; and 5) return to normal athletic function. The goals fit well into the framework of the tissue injury cycle described earlier in this symposium. Details of the rehabilitation goals and the relationship to the tissue injury cycle will be discussed.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
