  • Title: Rehabilitation of the injured athlete.
    Author: Thompson TL, Hershman EB, Nicholas JA.
    Journal: Pediatrician; 1990; 17(4):262-6. PubMed ID: 2259679.
    Abstract:
    An increase in the rate of injuries has accompanied the boom in sports participation among children and adolescents. Accurate diagnosis, prompt treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation are keys to the safe return of the young athlete to sports. Reacquisition of flexibility, strength, and endurance forms the basis of reconditioning. A graded reacclimatization to the demands of the sport allows the athlete to attain the preinjury level of skill. Psychological ramifications of injury such as fear, anger, and depression are to be expected and must be dealt with appropriately.
