How are sports injuries classifed and managed?

Ways to classiy sports injuries

Direct and Indirect

Direct

• Caused by forces generated from outside the body

• Fractures dis!ocations s"rains bruises

• E#am"!e $ Shou!der dis!ocation caused by a tac%!e in rugby

Indirect

• Caused by intrinsic forces &force 'ithin the body(

• Resu!t of inade)uate 'arm u" ba!!istic mo*ements e#cessi*emo*ements fau!t in e#ecution

• Resu!t in s"rains &!igaments( strains &musc!es and tendons(damage to body structure &tearing musc!es(

• E#am"!e $ s"rinter tearing a hamstring during a race

Soft and Hard tissue

Soft tissue• In+ury to tissue other than bones and teeth can be caused by

e#terna! or interna! forces

• ,cute $ occur sudden!y &s"rains strains dis!ocationsub!u#ation torn carti!age contusions and abrasions(

• Chronic - "ro!onged

• E#am"!es $ s"raining an%!e during soccer due to "oor surfacebruising due to direct force of hoc%ey stic%

Hard tissue

• Cause damage to bones and teeth• .ruising of the bone or "eriostitis &b!eeding bet'een outer
