  2. A.T. Still and Ice Hockey? Although Andrew Taylor Still never saw ice hockey as we know it today, he would be able to identify with some of the injuries sustained in ice hockey as they are comparable to injuries Still or other young men may have endured working on farms or hunting in the 1800’s throughout Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kansas. The long days of swinging sickles or scythes, used to harvest hay and grain or to clear underbrush and branches, plowing by hand, and digging with shovels to turn over the land for planting crops, all can lead to injuries that are remarkably similar to those in ice hockey.

  3. The hard work and constant bent over swinging or digging motion used in farm field work resemble the same body positioning, rotation and energy release as in ice hockey players. The foundation of Still’s studies and philosophy are embedded in anatomy. His mastery in structural relationships of muscles, bones, and organs would allow Still to see how injuries in farming can be similar to those seen in ice hockey as well as how to treat ice hockey injuries using manipulative therapies.

  4. Ice Hockey Risk for Injury • Hockey players and goalies can be at risk for injury simply due to the games environment, as the game is played on ice and is enclosed by a boarded perimeter. • Body checking is an instrumental part of game strategy and game play. High speed collisions unavoidably occur between bodies, bodies and boards, bodies and goal posts, and bodies and pucks at high speeds. • Many of these injuries can be acute, however, some can be severe and dangerous. • The hockey season is long and strenuous on the body. • Some tournament weekends teams can play up to five games with multiple games in a day. • It is also likely to have early morning games and games late into the evening. • The body weakens over time and under such demanding circumstances making it more susceptible to injury. • Many advances in equipment technology have been made and help to prevent injury. • However, unfortunately, due to the nature of the sport there are still injuries.

  5. Common Ice Hockey Injuries • Neck and Spine • Shoulders • Knee, Hip, Thigh, and Groin • Forearm, Wrist, and Hand pain • Lower Back

  6. Types of Ice Hockey Injuries • Fractures, hands and wrist • Sprains or Strains, • medial collateral • capsular ligaments of the knee • Contusions, upper and lower body • Separations, AC joint separation • Skate bite, friction injury from leather of boot • Concussions, mild to severe • Lacerations, head, scalp and face • Gamekeeper’s thumb • Tearing of the ulnar collateral ligament

  7. Neck, Head and Spine Injuries Neck, head and spine injuries although not as common do occur and can be harmful. The impact at high speeds with bodies and boards around the ice surface are attributed to these injuries.

  8. Neck, Head and Spine Injuries • Cervical Vertebrae -C3 responsible for diaphragm (Breathing) • Brachial Plexus injury -C5 to T1 Muscles associated are: • Sternohyoid muscle Bones • Sternocleidomastoid muscle • Trapezius • Splenius Capitis • Splenius Cervicis • Scalenus Medius • Scalenus Posterior • Levator Scapulae • Multifidi (deep) • Middle Semispinalis Capitis (Superficial) • Rectus Capitus minor and major • Oblliquus Capitis Inferior

  9. Rotation

  10. Sidebending

  11. Flexion and Extension

  12. Cradling and Traction • The physician will place the fingers close to the cervical spine and bring anterior pressure bilaterally with slight traction through the arms of the physician.

  13. Counter-Lateral Traction • Place one hand on the frontal bone, the other hand on the lateral aspect of the cervical spine along the articular facets. While applying pressure on the frontal bone away from you, the other hand stretches the muscles of the neck toward you.

  14. Occipital-Atlantal Cervical High Velocity Low Amplitude • The patient is supine. Place your hand on the ramus of the mandible with fingers extending downward toward the chin. Apply a sudden increase in the rotation of the neck by pressing downward toward the table on the ramus of the mandible.

  15. 3rd to 7th Cervical High Velocity Low Amplitude • The patient is supine. Rotate and sidebend the neck. The index finger of your hand is posterolateral to the articular process.The patient’s head may be flexed or extended depending on the cervical curve and then the corrective thrust is made with the index finger in an arc conforming to the plane of the facets.

  16. Shoulder Injury Shoulders are one of the most common injuries in ice hockey. The most common injury is an injury to the Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation. Shoulder contusions and dislocations are also common.

  17. BonesAssociatedwith the Shoulder Bones Associated: • Scapula • Clavicle • Humerus

  18. Muscles Associated with the Shoulder • Muscles associated are: • Rhomboid Major and Rhomboid Minor • Posterior deltoid, Middle deltoid, Anterior deltoid • Coracobrachialis muscle • Supraspinatus muscle • Pectoralis • Upper Trapezius • Biceps Brachii muscle and Brachialis muscle • Triceps

  19. Ligament Associated: • Rotator Cuff • Axillary Nerve- can’t abduct -off of Brachial Plexus

  20. The seven-step Spencer shoulder technique: • Step 1—extension with elbow flexed; • step 2—flexion with elbowextended; • step 3—compression circumduction; • step 4—circumductionwith traction with elbow extended; • step 5a—abductionwith internal rotation with elbow flexed; • Step 5b- adduction and external rotation • step 6—adduction and internal rotation with upper extremity behind the back; • step 7—stretching tissues and pumping fluids with the arm extended

  21. Forearm, Wrist, and Hand Pain Injury Forearms, wrists, and hands are all at risk for breaks, contusions, and sprains. Body checks, sticks, and collisions with bodies and boards are all causes for many of these injuries.

  22. Forearm, Wrist, and Hand Pain Injury Bones and Connective Tissue: • Ulna • Radius • Scaphoid- Fractured most • Flexor Retinaculum • Carpal Bones

  23. Forearm, Wrist, and Hand Pain Injury Muscles associated are: • Extensor Carpi radialis longus • Extensor Carpi Ulnaris • Supinator • Palmaris Longus muscle

  24. Lower Back Pain Injuries Lower back pain is a common injury as the body is bent over and in constant motion, initiating or receiving body checks, rotating to generate power for a shot or pass, hit against boards or goal posts, or changing direction quickly. The lower back is susceptible to contusions and strains.

  25. Lower Back Muscles Bones: • Lumbar region • 5 Vertebrae Multifidus Iliopsoas Hamstrings Abdominals Erecorstinae

  26. Myofascial Stretching • Patient is prone. Place thumb onto paraspinal muscles adjacent to the vertebral spinous process. In a bowing like motion stretch the muscles away from you and release. Perform slowly.

  27. Lumbar rotation technique • Patient is supine. Have the patient lace fingers behind head. Standing to the side of the patient grab the patient’s contra lateral upper arm and pull toward you and caudally.

  28. Lumbar Mobilization • The patient is in the lateral recumbent position. The side that the dysfunctional vertebra is rotated towards is up (eg, for a left rotated lumbar, the patient is lying on their RIGHT side). The patients upper most leg is dropped over the side of the table. The patients upper elbow is flexed. The lower elbow is also flexed and the arm is tucked under the head. Stand to the side of the patient with his/her face to you. Your one arm should be placed onto the upper elbow and the other arm placed on the upper hip. A twisting motion is performed by moving the patients elbow backward and the patient’s upper hip forwards, carrying the dysfunctional vertebra into correct position

  29. Knee, Hip, Thigh, and Groin Injury • Knee, hip, thigh and Groin muscles are all known to be common injuries that can be sustained while participating in ice hockey. • Knees frequently suffer from knee to knee contact and impact with boards at high speeds resulting in sprains or tears to the medial collateral and capsular ligaments. • Hips thighs and groin are most susceptible to sprains, strains, and contusions.

  30. Knee, Hip, Thigh, and Groin Injury Bones Associated: •Femur •Tibia • Fibula Muscles associated are: • Adductor Magnus (Adductor Brevis and Adductor Longus) • Gracilis • Rectus Femoris • Vastus Medialis • Popliteus Muscle • Tibialis Anterior • Gastrocnemius Muscle

  31. Varus strain

  32. Valgus strain

  33. Flexion of knee
