Sports Injuries and Types Exam Questions
and Answers
What is an impacted fracture? - Answer-A bone impacts or is driven into another bone.
What is a luxation dislocation? - Answer-A temporary separation with articulating ends
and it remains that way for an extended period. Results in extreme damage to
connective tissue, very common in fingers.
What is a subluxation dislocation? - Answer-Incomplete seperation b/w articulating
ends, and is less severe damage than luxation.
Why do injuries occur? - Answer-Injuries occur as a result of the bodies inability to
adapt to an increased load of training aka rapid changes.
What is a compressive force? - Answer-A loading that produces a squeezing or
crushing effect on a structure - bruises.
What is a tensile force? - Answer-Tension, a force that is opposite to compressive force
(longitudinal, muscle stretch).
- a pulling force that tends to stretch the structure.
What is a bending force? - Answer-Results in tension on one side and compression on
the other.
What is shear force? - Answer-A force that acts perpendicular to the tissues involved
(structures slide or displace)(ligament tears, blisters).
What is rotational source? - Answer-Combination of tension and shears (spinal
fractures, acl tears).
What is collagen? - Answer-A protein string in resisting tension but stretches slightly
under tensile loading as fibres straighten. Proxies strength and flexibility to tissues.
What is elastin? - Answer-Protein that provides added elasticity to some connective
tissue structures.
What is the epidermis? - Answer-outermost layer of skin, acts as a barrier, contains
pigments (nail, hair, glands).
What is the dermis? - Answer-middle layer of skin, blood vessels, nerve endings, glands
- sweat & sebaceous.
, What is the subcutis? - Answer-Subcutaneous fat, primary area for fat storage,
produces internal temp regulation, mobility of skin over internal body core.
What is a blister? - Answer-Repeated application of a shear in multiple directions,
excessive friction on skin, results in a pocket of fluid accumulating below epidermis, hot

What is the definition of a sports injury? - Answer-1) occurs as a result of participation in
an organized practice or game.
2) requires medical attention by a therapist or physician.
3) results in restriction of athlete's participation or performance for one or more days.
What does MOI stand for? - Answer-mechanism of injury
What is MOI? - Answer-What happened, how the athlete was injured, and the main
cause. It provides clues as to acute or chronic injury.
Why is MOI important? - Answer-Details how injury occurred, determined when
occurred, guided evaluation, determines levels of severity, leads to a differential
diagnosis, and guided treatment plans.
What is critical force? - Answer-The limit that tissues are said to have to be able to
withstand a force.
What does critical force depend on? - Answer-Tissue type, age, temperature, skeletal
maturity, sex, and body weight.
What is an acute injury? - Answer-- a single force (macro-trauma).
- definite moment of onset (usually rapid) followed by relatively predictable pattern of
events.
- usually a single traumatic event.
What is a chronic injury? - Answer-- result of repeated load or stress (micro-trauma).
- develops and worsens over a period of time w/ slow onset.
- pain and inflammation worsen w/ time.
- often occurs in activities w continuous movements.
- often called overuse injuries.
What is a catastrophic injuries? - Answer-Involve damage to the brain and or spinal cord
and are potentially life threatening or permanent.
What does soft tissue include? - Answer-Muscle, fascia, tendons, joint capsules,
ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves.
What are soft tissue injuries? - Answer-Contusions, sprains, strains.
