Principles of Rehabilitation • The SAID Principle • specific adaptation to imposed demands • specific adaptations requires that specific demands be imposed • Setting Therapeutic Goals • long - range goals should encompass several short-range goals
Principles of Rehabilitation • Continual Evaluation • SAID principle requires both an accurate initial evaluation and daily re-evaluation to determine the athlete=s response. • Functional Progression • Should progress from the easiest of activities to full sports participation (PRE Progressive resistive exercise)
Principles of Rehabilitation • Early Exercise • early exercise speeds healing • lack of exercise may result in permanent disability • caution must be observed • Rate of Reconditioning • redevelopment is much quicker than development • much of the strength lost after injury is the result of pain-induced inhibition
Principles of Rehabilitation • Pain Free • all exercises should be pain free • should have no residual pain • Biofeedback • measure athlete=s performance in some way and then tell the athlete what his scores were. • Athlete’s Health Comes First • As long as the athlete=s health is the uppermost concern, rehab. should proceed as quickly as possible.
