It is not clear if the stages are the same in acute and chronic injuries
An athletes point of view of an injuryPainful problem that prevents or hampers sport performance

![Page 6: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Force
Defined as a_____________________________
When a force is sustained by body tissue, two factors help determine if injury occurs
The _____________________of the force
The material properties of the involved tissues
![Page 7: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Magnitude of Force

When the load is removed the material will return to its original size and shape
___________forcesExceeds the materials elastic limits- the structure is unable to elastically rebound to its original shape
Some amount of deformation results
![Page 8: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Direction
The __________________is applied has important implications for injury potential
Many tissues are stronger in resisting force from some directions than from others
Lateral ankle sprains are much more common than medial ankle sprains, because ligament support of the ankle is much stronger on the medial side
![Page 10: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Categories of Force
Force acting along the long axis of a structure is an axial Load.
4 categories of forceCompression
Tension
Shear
Torque
![Page 11: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Compressive Force
__________that produces a squeezing or crushing effect is a compressive force

Often result in_______________________
![Page 12: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tensile Force
Axial loading in the direction opposite of that of compression in called tension
________________that stretches the object to which it is applied
Muscle contraction produces a tensile force on the attached bone, enabling movement
When the ankle is inverted, the tensile force results in an ankle sprain
![Page 13: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Shear Force

Torque
A _____________force is termed torque or torsion
Excessive torque's can produce injuryUsually generated by forces external to the body rather than by the muscles

Stress
When a given force is distributed over a larger area, the resulting stress is less than if the force where distributed over a smaller area
If a force is concentrated over a small area, the mechanical stress is relatively high
Football and hockey pads- distribute any force sustained across the entire pad, thereby reducing the stress acting on the player

Nerve Injuries
Most commonly injured by ________________ forces
When a nerve is loaded with tension, the nerve fibers tend to rupture prior to the rupturing of the surrounding tissue
The nerve roots on the spinal cord are not protected by connective tissue and are particularly susceptible to tensile injury, especially stretching of the brachial and cervical plexus
![Page 48: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Pain
Universal Symptom common to most injuries

Physical
Chemical
Social
Psychological
![Page 52: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Neurological Basis of Pain
_______________, slow transmission nerves carry pain impulses________________nerves carry other sensations: touch, temperature, proprioceptionLocated in superficial skin layersCan be stimulated by mechanical stresses such as trauma, swelling, and muscle spasmOther pain receptors are chemo-sensitivePain threshold can become progressively lower
![Page 53: Injury and the Healing Process Unit 6. Introduction to Injury When an injury takes place some responses are ________________, but others are_____________.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e0e5503460f94af896c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Gate Control Theory
__________is organized in such a way that pain or other sensations may be experiencedAn area or “gate” within the spinal cord organizes input stimulus and transmits stimulus to the brainTherefore, stimulation from the larger, faster nerves can selectively “close the gate” to the smaller, slower pain fibersConcept explains why cold can numb the pain as well as why acupuncture, acupressure and skin irritants provide some relief against pain
