1. Sports Injury
Management

2. Introduction
 Sports injuries are injuries which occurs in
athletic activities or physical exertion. They can
after effect from accidents, poor training
address in practice, bare equipment, and
overuse of an accurate physique part. In the
United States, there are about 30 million
teenagers and children that participate in
some anatomy of organized sport. The Sports
Injury Management is for avoiding the major
injuries like death, brain injuries, fracture, etc
and their treatment.

3. Most Common Injuries
 Ankle sprain
 Groin pull
 Hamstring strain
 Shin splints
 Knee injury : ACL tear
 Knee injury : Patellofemoral syndrome — injury
resulting from the repetitive movement of your
kneecap against your thigh bone
 Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)

4.  Be Prepared... the meaning of the
motto is that a scout must prepare
himself by previous thinking out and
practicing how to act on any
accident or emergency so that he
is never taken by surprise - Robert
Baden-Powell

No HARM

6. 1. ABC
 Airway
 Breathing
 Circulation

7. Airway
 The human respiratory system includes a
series of organs like lungs and the airways.
The lungs are responsible for taking oxygen in
and expelling carbon dioxide out while
breathing.

9. Breathing
 Breathing is the process that
inhalation of oxygen and expelling
carbon dioxide from the lungs. In
addition to removing carbon
dioxide, breathing results in loss of
water from the body.

10. Circulation
 Circulation is the process of blood
movement through the vessels of
the body induced by the pumping
action of the heart.

11. 2. TOTAPS
 Talk
 Observe
 Touch
 Active
 Passive
 Skills

12. TALK
 What happened?
 What was the mechanism of injury?
 Where does it hurt?
 Did you hear any sounds i.e. cracks, snaps?
 The story of how it happened tells you a lot about
the injury

13. OBSERVE
 Look for obvious deformity
 If it doesn’t look right....
 It probably isn’t...
 Look for swelling
 Look for discolouration
 Compare the bad side to the good side

14. TOUCH
 Tenderness –
 mild
 moderate
 severe
 Location
 soft tissue
 bony
 Heat/ Temperature-
 If hot more blood

15. ACTIVE MOVEMENT
 Assess how much movement athlete can do by
themselves..
 Is it Full Range?
 When does it get painful?
 Where is it painful?

16. PASSIVE MOVEMENT
 How much movement is there passively? ie
movement YOU can make
 Compare the bad side to the good side

17. SKILLS
 If all OK so far.. then need to test the
 Athlete with sport specific skill..
 Running on the spot
 Hopping
 Jumping
 “Z” running
 Must be something to test the injury.

18. Initial treatment of injuries
PRICER
 Protection
 Rest
 Ice
 Compression
 Elevation
 Referral

19. Protection
 Take player away from field to avoid further injury
as soon as possible

20. Rest
 Remove player from field
 Rest injured area
 Immobilize area
 Why?
 Reduces further tissue damage
 Reduces blood flow
 Allows for full assessment of injury

21. Ice
 Ice bag, pack
 Ice water bath
 15 mins/ 5 times a day
 Why?
 Cool the area which constricts blood vessels,
reduces blood flow and fluid leakage, less swelling,
pressures and pain

22. Compression
 Compress injured area with
 Elastic bandage
 Cohesive bandage
 Strapping
 Move distal to proximal
 Why?
 External pressure reduces fluid leakage and
bleeding into tissues
 Provide support the area
 Immobilizes the area is REST

23. Elevation
 Elevate area above height
 Why?
 Reduces bleeding as blood has to flow up hill
 Gravity helps swelling to move towards lymph
nodes

24. Referral
 Physiotherapist
 Hospital
 Doctor
 Why?
 Diagnosis
 Treatment can commence
 The sooner treatment begins, the better the
outcome

25. No HARM
Heat
Alcohol
Running
Massage

26. No HEAT
 Includes
 Hot packs
 Spas
 Saunas
 Why?
 Increases blood flow to area therefore increases
swelling

27. No ALCOHOL
 Includes most things adults enjoy after a game of
sports
 Why?
 Thins blood which increases swelling
 In excess brings on silly behavior
 Less pain felt therefore more damage caused
 Adds toxins to already injured area

28. No RUNNING
 Includes running as well as any exercise that is
painful
 Why?
 Increases in tissue damage
 Overload to other area as compensation

29. No MASSAGE
 Includes
 Rub down
 Massage
 Mobilizations
 Why?
 May increases tissue damage
 Increases blood circulation to the injured area
