Document Summary
No its not bc we know some of the contributing factors leading to them. One of the most important roles is to minimize activity related injury: improve benefit : risk ratio. Can be characterized by being: primary, secondary, tertiary. We use the term prevention synonymously with primary prevention: how do we prevent the injurious situation from happening all together, snow tires on a car in the winter, a warning of danger = 1o prevention. Can focus on 1 of 3 dimensions: athlete, surroundings, equipment (technique, neuromuscular function, conditioning) (floor/surface friction, rules) (shoe friction, protective properties) Tertiary prevention (works after the injury has occurred) focus on reducing the consequences of injury injury has occurred give ice, hit onstar for car crash. May include things like emergency medical coverage, first aid equipment and rehabilitation. Tissue properties tissue properties are described according to engineering terminology. A load can be singular force or a group of external or internal forces acting on a body.
