Unit 15 Assignment 2. An Investigation of Aetiology Associated Prevention StrategiesStages of injury prevention
Stage 1: Grade 2 ankle sprains cause more ligament damage and require 4-6 weeks before they
allow for a full return to sport (Central Vermont Medical Center, 2016).
Stage 2: Kinematics, kinetics and forces (including Newton's laws).
Stage 3: Coordination training on an ankle disk, taping, ankle brace.
Stage 4: How is the injury? Is it better? Is the injury occurring often? Has strength and stability of
the ankle improved? Under the ideal circumstances of a randomised controlled trial (RCT), the
effectiveness of preventative treatments is evaluated using statistics (Lindblom, 2019).
Stage 5: Is the intervention effective to the context of kickboxing? Is the intervention being
implemented properly by the kickboxer and coach? Do research findings match what the
kickboxer is experiencing?
Stage 6: Essentially, once the intervention is being implemented properly, the effectiveness of
the preventative treatment needs to be re-evaluated but this time in the real-world context for
the injured kickboxer.
1st model: Steps 1 and 2 do not always need to be in the same order because establishing the
mechanism of the injury can help determine the extent and severity of the injury. Steps 3 and 4 do not
always need to be in the same order because you would want to use effective preventative measures
straight away rather than experiment with different interventions.
IV: Compared to male athletes, female athletes have a 25% higher risk of experiencing ankle sprains.
Poor coaching includes lack of knowledge, time, and awareness to implement prevention strategies.
Gait Analysis factors:
Duration: Including total time, the foot is in contact with the floor, the stride length and stride
rate. Longer stride length + faster stride rate = faster travel.
Motion and Position: This is how the body moves and is tracked by the centre of mass. Cameras
are used to track how the centre of mass travels when a person is walking and running. Main
aim = as little upward and downward movement as possible. Any vertical movement =wasted
energy.
How change in speed affects change in gait. Fast movement = bigger effect on gait.
Footwear: Footwear can impact gait. Footwear controls how feet land on the ground. This
affects the body reaction to the how the foot is placed on the ground.
Pronation picture: The athlete is at risk of injury because of the pronation on the right ankle. The
imbalance of rearfoot valgus means compression forces on the lower extremity long bones is not equal
on both sides which can create muscle imbalances and strength deficits, leading to an ankle sprain.
