Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries
1. The cause of the injury was most likely form from a constant over use while hyper extending the great toe. Most likely I would assume that the individual had a case of turf toe. In terms of how I would manage it, I would use ice therapy, NSAIDs, rest and I'd make sure to immobilize the joint form excessive motion. A metatarsal pad under the first metatarsal might be implemented too in order to relieve stress. If I saw that it was a severe injury, I would most likely restrict his playing until the symptoms disappear.2. One of the first questions that I would ask the individual would be "did you hear or feel a pop when you injured your foot?" Next, I would check for a visible defect in the tendon, inability to stand on tiptoes or even balance on the affected leg, swelling and bruising around the malleoli, excessive passive dorsiflexion, and a positive Thompson's test. If there was no real positive testing to these things, I would move on to check for a large amount of inflammation, and see if there was any loss of ROM. For bursitis, the severity would naturally be concurrent with the amount of swelling that was occurring. For an Achilles tendon injury, the severity of the injury can be shown
If after a 10-15 min ice bath to reduce the swelling and numb the area, and the pain becomes greater then the lifter can stand, the injury should be drained. Genu verous, excessive pronation of feet, leg length discrepancy, prominent greater trochanter or femur, increasing mileage too quickly, poor warm-up, and running on the same side of a crowned road would be the predisposing factors to the injury. You want to make sure that the site is cleaned and bandaged properly to keep the risk of infection down. Treatment would include that of NSAIDs, RICE, and restricted practicing with the team until the condition seems to get better. For patellar tendonitis the individual should rest for 2-3 weeks, heat therapy, Estim. Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) would be the suspected condition, and it is usually spread in the locker room during casual handling of contaminated socks, or can be picked up by another player on the floor or shower stall. For Osgood-Schlatter disease, treatment are restricted unless pain is disabling, icing of the knee and quadriceps and hamstring stretching are recommend. Neer Shoulder impingement test, Anterior impingement test, Drop arm test, and the empty can test5.
