Description

1. Definition of basic terms – mechanisms of injuries, risk factors, symptoms
2. Mechanisms of ankle and foot injuries
a. Mechanisms of acute ankle and foot injuries (ankle sprains, Achilles tendon rupture)
b. Mechanisms of chronic ankle and foot injuries (stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy)
3. Mechanisms of knee and thigh injuries
a. Mechanisms of acute knee and thigh injuries (cruciate ligaments injuries, other ligament injuries, meniscal injuries, hamstring muscle strain injuries)
b. Mechanisms of chronic knee and thigh injuries (patellofemoral pain syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, Jumper’s knee)
4. Mechanisms of hip and pelvis injuries
a. Mechanisms of acute hip and pelvis injuries (adductor muscle strains, fractures in the hip and pelvis area)
b. Mechanisms of chronic hip and pelvis injuries (hip impingement syndrome, groin pain, sacroiliac joint pain)
5. Mechanisms of back and neck injuries
a. Mechanisms of acute back and neck injuries (vertebral fractures, acute spondylolisthesis, acute nerve impingement)
b. Mechanisms of chronic back and neck injuries (lower back pain, spinal stenosis, degenerative injuries of the spine
6. Mechanisms of shoulder injuries
a. Mechanisms of shoulder injuries (rotator cuff injuries, SLAP lesions, shoulder dislocation)
b. Mechanisms of chronic shoulder injuries (subacromial impingement, shoulder instability)
7. Mechanisms of elbow and wrist injuries
a. Mechanisms of acute elbow and wrist injuries (fractures in the elbow and the wrist, injuries to ligaments and muscles of the elbow and the wrist)
b. Mechanisms of chronic elbow and wrist injuries (epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome)
8. Structural and functional factors related to injury mechanisms
a. Structural abnormalities as a risk factor (joint shapes, body proportions, limb lengths)
b. Functional irregularities and imbalances as a risk factor or injury mechanism (motor abilities, movement kinematics and kinetics, neuromuscular control)
9. The role of exercise strain in injury formation
a. Acute-to-chronic workload ratio
b. Repetitive movements
c. The interplay between movement volume and intensity
