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.
作者们提出了受伤运动员康复的基本指导方针和注意事项。文中讨论了各种物理治疗手段和治疗性锻炼在受伤运动员康复中的应用。还介绍了改善关节活动范围和肌肉功能、消除功能限制和残疾的临床路径。应当记住，在任何时候，受伤运动员的康复可能侧重于这些领域中的任何一个或多个领域的组合。受伤运动员康复的最终目标是使他们恢复到受伤前的运动水平。当运动员达到这一目标或预计其功能水平不会再有进一步改善时，应让他们结束康复治疗。无法恢复到受伤前活动水平的个体，应提供其他活动，使他们能够继续参与，以保持积极的生活方式。
