Mechanisms of Injuries

•No matter how much time is spent on injury prevention sooner or later an injury occurs
•Either acute or chronic in nature
•Acute injuries▫Result of trauma
•Chronic▫Caused by repetitive,
overuse activities

INJURY MECHANISM
▫Mechanics of injuries Forces applied to the body
different angles, over different periods of time.
Different tissue types
respond differently to applied forces.
▫NOT an all or none
Phenomenon. injuries range in severity or grades.

The Body Responds to Laws of Physics
• Movement through Space▫Accomplished by inefficient levers
The long levers must overcome considerable resistance. inertia muscle viscosity
▫More than 1/2 of the body's weight is in the upper body – ▫supported by rather thin bones. ▫center of gravity is relatively high in the human -
▫ requires energy to maintain posture.
▫Body can compensate• body may be lowered by widening stance to
decrease gravity.

FORCE AND ITS EFFECT
▫ Force Pushing or a pulling acting on a body. Numerous forces act on our bodies.
Gravity Terrain Weather Other bodies Equipment
▫ Balls▫ Bats▫ Clubs, etc
Bodies adjust when internal forces are produced by muscles. body absorbs forces body responds and adjusts
Two potential effects acceleration, or change in velocity deformation, or change in shape

Protective Devices
•Musculature serves as a shock Muscle - affect movement of an organ or body
part. Cartilage pads - absorb shock.
•Ligaments - Maintains continuity of joints - bone to bone
•Muscle tone - Strength - again - the more flexible the muscle the less chance of disruption
Tendon - Muscle to bone

Five Primary Tissue Stressors
• Tension=▫ Force that Pulls or Stretches Tissue
• Stretching=▫ Beyond Yield Point▫ Rupturing of soft tissue
• Compression=▫ Crushes Tissue
• Shearing▫ Force that moves across the parallel organization of tissue
Abrasions, Blisters ACL / PCL Tears
Tibia shears
• Bending=▫ Known as three point bending

FRACTURES
• Interruptions in the continuity of a bone. • Classified as:
▫Simple break in a bone
▫Compound extended through the outer skin layers,
▫Fractures are one of the most serious hazards▫Causing factors:
Direct blow Torsion action Muscle / tendon stress causing avulsion fractures.

OUCH !!!!!!!! Uhh- Yeah It’s Broken“ I don’t think that I’ll be going out tonight”

Healing of a Fracture
▫Generally require immobilization for some period Approx. 6 weeks for bones of arms and legs 3 weeks for bones of hands and feet
▫Fracture healing requires osteoblast activity to lay down bone and form callus
▫Following cast removal, normal stresses and strains will aid in healing and remodeling process Osteoclasts will be called on to assist in re-
shaping of bone in response to normal stress

Stress Fractures
No specific cause but with a number of possible causes Overload due to muscle contraction, altered stress distribution due to
muscle fatigue, changes in surface, rhythmic repetitive stress vibrations
· Switching to a harder running surface. · Rapid increase of speed or distance. · Returning to intense activity after a layoff. · Inadequate rest and excessive stress. · A change in footwear without proper adjustment period. · Improper shoe selection to accommodate foot type.
Begins with a dull ache and progressively becomes worse over time Initially pain during activity and then progresses to pain following activity
Early detection is difficult, bone scan is useful, x-ray is effective after several weeks Due to osteoblastic activity
If suspected – stop activity for 14 days Generally does not require casting

Predisposing Factors
•Congenital (heredity) or Acquired •Kinesiological (way body moves through
space).•Pre-season physical examinations are very
important.▫Detect abnormalities▫Injuries not treated or Mistreated
•Nature of the Beast

Types of Injuries and How they occur•Contusions, Bruises, Hematoma•By impact - •Characterized by:• local tenderness•Swelling•Discoloration •Disabling
▫I.E. vastus medialis will limit walking ability "dead leg"

STRAINS• Involves Muscles or adjacent tendon.
▫ referred to as a "PULL“
• abnormal muscular contraction• imbalance between agonist and
antagonist muscles - Hams vs Quads• Fatigue
• Characterized by degrees of disruption of the muscle/tendon fibers
• A strain can range • Graded as 1st, 2nd, 3rd or• Mild, Moderate, Severe• Similar to contusion bleeding is
present and there may be some discoloration
• If severe - defect can be seen - Achilles "Roll Up"

SPRAINS• Over-extension of a joint. • Most common• Disabling injuries.• Forced beyond its normal anatomical
limits.• Microscopic and gross pathologies occur. • Injury to:
▫ Ligaments▫ articular capsule▫ synovial membrane
• Effusion (spreading) of blood and synovial fluid into the joint cavity
▫ inflammation (joint swelling)▫ point tenderness
• Laxity of joint

Dislocations
• Disruption between the two articular surfaces.(Fingers and shoulders mostly)
• Divided into two classes
• Subluxations- partial dislocation wherein an imcompletet separation between 2 articulating bones occurs.
• Luxations- complete dislocations; total disunion of the bones.
• Characterized by▫ Loss of limb function; ▫ Obvious Deformity ▫ Swelling and point tenderness are
immediately present
