  1. Hamstring Strain Adrienne Brandon

  2. Causes • Muscle overload • Challenged with a sudden load • Stretched beyond it’s limit • Muscle gets stretched too far

  3. Common Athletes • Running sports • Football, basketball, soccer • Runners or sprinters • Dancers • Athletes who are still growing

  4. Signs and Symptoms

  5. Management • PRICE • Immobilization • Neutral position • Knee splint • Surgery • For tendon avulsion injuries • Physical Therapy • Average healing time: 6-10 weeks

  6. Physical Therapy • Flexibility • Stretches to improve range of motion • Strengthening • Gradually added

  7. Osgood-Schlatter Disorder Alayna Dieter

  8. Etiology • Osgood-Schlatter is an inflammation at the top of the tibia. • An overuse injury • Active teens often get Osgood-Schlatters, because the growth spurts experienced by teens make their bodies vulnerable to Osgood-Schlatters.

  10. Sings/ Symptoms • Signs • Swelling • Tenderness below the Kneecap • Tightness of muscles surrounding the knee • Limping after practice • Symptoms • Knee Pain • Pain is worse during exercise • Relief from pain with rest

  11. Management • Limiting activity that causes pain can help in mild cases. • Shock absorbent insoles can be used to reduce stress on the knee. • Heating before activity and icing after activity can minimize the swelling. • Stretching of the hamstring and quadricep muscles also help the athlete’s Osgood-Schlatters from worsening. • REST is the way to heal the problem. • Symptoms may last 2-3 years, but symptoms usually disappear with the completion of the adolescent growth spurt.

  12. Returning to Play • Rest from activity will let the knee heal. • In severe cases a total break for a month or two may be necessary. • Then the athlete may ease back into activity once pain is gone, with physical therapy to learn exercises that can help strengthen the leg to prevent future injuries.

  14. Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome Alex Wagner

  15. Etiology • Overuse • Tight tissues • Bad running form • Orthotic issues • Weak hip muscles • Runners and bikers

  16. Signs & Symptoms • Symptoms • Pain from hip down to knee • Pins and needles sensation or stinging • Heel pain • Pain walking up or down stairs • Snapping/popping sound around knee • Signs • Inflammation of knee

  17. Management • Minor injury to IT band: 1-3 weeks • Major injury: several months • Return to play based on you • Rest and ice frequently & change up running patterns once you return • P.R.I.C.E • Physical therapy • Stretching • Foam rollers • Proper footwear

  18. Quad strain Brittany anderson period 7

  19. Etiology • A QUADRICEPS STRAIN IS A TEAR IN ONE OF THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLES IN THE ANTERIOR (FRONT) OF THE THIGH • OFTEN OCCURS TO ATHLETES DURING ACTIVITY • CAN BE FROM RUNNING, JUMPING, OR KICKING • RANGES FROM MILD DISCOMFORT TO FULL-BLOWN TEAR OF MOST THE MUSCLE

  20. Quad strain

  21. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS • SUDDEN SHARP PAIN AT FRONT OF THE THIGH • SWELLING/BRUISING • PAIN WHEN FLEXING OR STRETCHING THE THIGH • MUSCLE SPASMS • CRACKLING SENSATION WHEN YOU PUSH ON IT WITH YOUR FINGER

  22. Signs & Symptoms Cont. • CLASSIFIED AS • GRADE 1 THIGH STRAIN - NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO STOP ACTIVITY BUT YOUR THIGH MAY FEEL TIGHT AND FEEL MILD DISCOMFORT WHEN WALKING/RUNNING. UNLIKELY TO HAVE SWELLING. • GRADE 2 THIGH STRAIN- ATHLETE MAY FEEL SUDDEN SHARP PAIN WHEN WALKING/RUNNING, JUMPING, KICKING, ETC. AND MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE ACTIVITY. THERE WILL BE SWELLING/BRUISING AND PAIN COULD MAKE WALKING DIFFICULT. TRYING TO EXTEND THE KNEE WILL BE PAINFUL. • GRADE 3 THIGH STRAIN- SEVERE SUDDEN PAIN IN FRONT OF THE THIGH. UNABLE TO WALK WITHOUT CRUTCHES. BAD SWELLING & SIGNIFICANT BRUISING.

  23. management • INITIAL TREATMENT: ICE/ COLD THERAPY TO PREVENT SWELLING • GRADE 1 TREATMENT- R.I.C.E., COLD THERAPY 15 MINUTES EVERY HOUR, REST FOR 3 DAYS, MASSAGES • GRADE 2 TREATMENT- R.I.C., & WEAR A COMPRESSION BANDAGE DURING E. ALTERNATE HOT AND COLD DURING YOUR 15 MINUTES EVERY HOUR SESSIONS (~2 MINS. OF HOT), SPORTS MASSAGE • GRADE 3 TREATMENT- STOP ACTIVITY. SLEEP WITH YOUR LEG ELEVATED. APPLY COLD COMPRESSION. SEE A DOCTOR. • ~ 6-12 WEEKS RECOVERY TIME OF GRADE 3 STRAIN

  24. Patellar Subluxation and Dislocation By: Cassie Anderson

  25. Subluxation of the Patella • Temporary sliding of the kneecap out of the groove in which it rests • Caused by direct blow to area but usually it is caused by a too shallow groove or poor alignment of the bones • It can also be caused by improper gait when running • Usually seen in contact sports • Football, soccer, basketball

  26. Signs and Symptoms of Subluxation

  27. Management of Subluxation • PRICE • Strengthen hip abductors and hip flexors • Wearing supportive shoes • Knee Brace • Recovery time: varies with severity of subluxation • Sometimes, these treatments aren’t successful. Surgery may be needed to put the kneecap back in place

  28. Dislocation of the Patella • This is when the kneecap leaves the groove in which it rests completely • Most dislocations happen laterally and to young people • The foot is usually planted and a rapid, twisting motion occurs • Direct blows to the knee can also cause dislocations • Preexisting laxity in the ligaments around the kneecap can also lead to dislocation • Usually seen in contact sports • Football, soccer etc.

  34. MCL Sprain (BEST PRESINTATION EVER) By: Jeremy Mitchell

  35. How? • You can hurt your MCL during activities that involve bending, twisting, or a quick change of direction. For example, the MCL can be injured in football or soccer when the outside of the knee is hit. This type of injury can also occur during skiing and in other sports with lots of stop-and-go movements, jumping, or weaving.

  36. Signs/Symptons • ~Sprained MCL Symptoms: • ~The severity of any symptoms will increase with the extent of the injury. Grade I sprains will produce milder symptoms than a Grade III sprain. • ~Pain at the inside of the knee • ~Swelling • ~Instability of the knee joint • ~Perhaps a popping sound heard at the moment of injury

  37. MCL Mangement • ~During the acute phase of the injury it is important to reduce any swelling and alleviate pain. This is achieved by: • ~APPLYING ICE(CRUSHED ICE:ina bag and covered with a towel, to the affected area. The ice pack should be kept in place for 15 minutes at a time, several times a day. • ~RESTING THE KNEE JOINT:Refrainfrom any activity that places stress on the joint, and perhaps use crutches to avoid placing weight on the leg. • ~Bracing. A knee brace may be recommended to prevent any further sideways motion of the joint in order to allow healing to begin. • ~Elevating the knee above the level of the heart, whenever possible. • Taking pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve) or aspirin.

  38. ACL Sprain • By: Josh Walter

  39. Causes • Getting hit hard in the side of the leg • Quickly stop moving and changing direction while running, jumping, or turning • Overextending the knee joint • Common in football, soccer, and basketball players • Also common in skiers

  40. Signs and Symptoms • Extreme swelling hours after it happens • Loss of full range of motion of knee • Pain while walking

  41. Grade of Sprain • Grade 1- minor trauma, some ligament fibers are stretched, but none are torn • Grade 2- partial tear, some ligament fibers are torn • Grade 3- complete tear, tears all of the ligament’s fibers. • Can take up to 9 months to recover

  42. Treatment • Rest • Ice • Compression • Elevation • Grade 1 and 2 sprains can be treated without surgery • Grade 3 sprains need surgery to repair the ACL

  43. Unhappy Triad By: Mackenzie Knopf

  44. What is it? • Tear in the • MCL • ACL • Medial Meniscus

  45. Causes • foot is planted and bearing weight and knee is forced in the other direction • ACL -> Meniscus -> MCL

  46. Common Athletes • Most Athletes • Contact/extreme sports • Football • Soccer • Basketball

  47. Signs • Sever swelling of the knee • Bruising on or around the knee

  48. Symptoms • A popping sound at the time of injury • Mild to severe pain • Knee feels unstable or that it may give out • Stiffness in the knee • The knee feels like it is catching or locking • Unable to move the knee

  49. Treatment • Surgery • Medial Meniscus • ACL • Rehabilitation *Recovery plans vary from person to person*
