  • Title: Rehabilitation exercises for common sports injuries.
    Author: Fields KB, Rasco T, Kramer JS, Cates R.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1992 Mar; 45(3):1233-43. PubMed ID: 1543107.
    Abstract:
    Residual weakness after joint injury is a risk factor for recurrent injury. A rehabilitation program helps patients recover strength and helps prevent further injuries. Orthopedic injuries account for 10 percent of visits to family physicians, yet many primary care physicians do not routinely prescribe rehabilitation exercises for injured patients. Illustrations of exercises for the hip, knee, ankle and shoulder are included as a reference for family physicians to use when prescribing rehabilitation exercises.
