Principles of Rehabilitation for Muscle and Tendon Injuries
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Injury to muscle and tendon structures can substantially affect individual joint mobility and stability. Furthermore, muscle and tendon injuries can alter movement of the entire body and ultimately limit functional participation in life activities. The goal of this chapter is to aid the clinician in identifying and treating muscle and tendon injuries. Specifically, the objectives of this chapter are to (1) identify basic science components and healing parameters of the muscle-tendon unit, (2) differentially diagnose muscle and tendon pathologies, and (3) discuss evaluation considerations and rehabilitation principles for muscle and tendon injuries.

متن کامل‘Serious thigh muscle strains’: beware the intramuscular tendon which plays an important role in difficult hamstring and quadriceps muscle strains
Why do some hamstring and quadriceps strains take much longer to repair than others? Which injuries are more prone to recurrence? Intramuscular tendon injuries have received little attention as an element in 'muscle strain'. In thigh muscles, such as rectus femoris and biceps femoris, the attached tendon extends for a significant distance within the muscle belly. While the pathology of most mus...
متن کامل[Patellar tendinopathy ('jumper's knee'); a common and difficult-to-treat sports injury].
Patellar tendinopathy is a common and difficult-to-treat overuse injury of the patellar tendon with a very negative impact on the careers of many athletes. It appears to involve a failed healing process in the tendon--not inflammation--and has consequences for the treatment strategy. Rehabilitation programs are based on the principles of load reduction and an eccentric exercise program to impro...
