  • Title: Rehabilitation of skiing injuries.
    Author: Steadman JR.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 1982 Jul; 1(2):289-94. PubMed ID: 7187310.
    Abstract:
    It is important to include psychological and physiologic rehabilitation in addition to rehabilitation of the injured area. Motion that does not stress repairs of either ligament or bone is not contraindicated. Exercises that aggravate patellofemoral problems should be modified to avoid areas in the range of motion that cause crepitance or pain. The use of modalities such as electrical stimulation is an important adjunct. Exercisers that allow speed work-out and isolate the muscle group are helpful but not mandatory. Manual resistance can parallel each type of machine exercise. Ligaments that have been repaired should be allowed to mature prior to allowing subluxing stresses. Before resumption of skiing, reactive exercises should be done.
