Rehabilitation Process Monitoring
“Tensiomyography is used for follow-up the functional recovery
- f muscle
and to help decide return to play”
XXIV International Conference on Sports Rehabilitation and Traumatology Clinical Practice Guidelines for Muscle Injury, FC Barcelona – Aspetar 11th-12th April, 2015 - London
FC Bacelona & ASPETAR Example :
“Management of a muscle injury”
Clinical history Physical exam US MRI Treatment Immediate X X Could be made anytime Rest Ice Compression Elevation Analgesia 12 hours X X 24 hours X X 48 hours X X Functional tests 1st week
Monitorize
players feelings X x To evaluate how the progression of loads are assumed Rehabilitatio n progressive protocol Weekly X X Return to play X X For follow-up the functional recovery and sometimes to help to decide return to play:
- Muscle: Tensiomyography, electromyography and strength tests.
- Player: GPS, HR and self administered scales during and after the rehabilitation sessions on field.
