  • Title: Rehabilitation of the injured athlete.
    Author: Irrgang JJ, Delitto A, Hagen B, Huber F, Pezzullo D.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1995 Jul; 26(3):561-77. PubMed ID: 7609966.
    Abstract:
    The authors have presented basic guidelines and considerations for rehabilitation of the injured athlete. The use of various physical agents and therapeutic exercise in the rehabilitation of the injured athlete has been discussed. Clinical pathways for improving range of motion and muscle function and eliminating functional limitations and disability have also been presented. It should be remembered that rehabilitation of the injured athlete at any point in time may focus on any one or combination of these areas. The ultimate goal for rehabilitation of injured athletes is to return them to their prior level of sports activity. Athletes should be discharged from rehabilitation when they have achieved this goal or when no further improvement in their level of function can be expected. Individuals unable to return to their prior level of activity should be provided with alternate activities that they can continue to participate in to maintain an active lifestyle.
