  4. Objective: Identify the individual short-term and long-term goals of a rehabilitation program. Goals of a Rehabilitation Program • Components of short term goals of a rehabilitation program • First aid and management to minimize swelling • Reduce pain • Restore full range of motion • Restore muscular strength and endurance • Reestablish neuromuscular control • Improving balance • Maintain cardiorespiratory fitness • Functional progression

  5. First Aid and Controlling Swelling • RICE Method • Rest • Ice • Compression • Elevation

  6. Controlling Pain • RICE method • Therapeutic modalities

  7. Restoring Range of Motion • Stretching exercise • Active • Passive

  8. Restoring Muscular Strength, Endurance and Power • Isometric exercise • Progressive resistive exercise • Isokinetic exercise • Plyometric exercise

  9. Reestablishing Neuromuscular Control • What is neuromuscular control?

  10. Regaining Balance • Balance=postural stability

  11. Maintaining Caridorespiratory Fitness • Activities • Cycling • Pool activities

  12. Objective: Describe the criteria and the decision-making process for determining when the injured athlete may return to full activity. Functional Testing • Functional progressions incorporate sport-specific skills. • Types of activities • Figure eights • Shuttle runs • Cariocas • Vertical jumps • Hopping

  13. Objective: Discuss how a coach might use therapeutic modalities in a rehabilitation program. Using Therapeutic Modalities • Cryotherapy • Thermotherapy • Ultrasound • Electrotherapy • Massage • Traction • Intermittent compression
