Protection

The injured area should be protected from additional injury by applying appropriate splints, braces, pads, or other immobilization devices. If the injury involves the lower extremity, it is recommended that the athlete go nonweight bearing on crutches at least until the acute inflammatory response has subsided.

5.10. Translate the following into English.

ОГРАНИЧЕННАЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ (ОТДЫХ)

(RESTRICTED ACTIVUTY / REST)

Отдых после каждого типа травмы является чрезвычайно (extremely) важным компонентом любой программы лечения (treatment program). Как только(once) анатомические структуры травмируются (is injured), немедленно (immediately) начинается процесс восстановления (healing). Если травмированной структуре (injured structure) не обеспечить состояние покоя, а подвергать дальнейшим внешним стрессам и деформациям (is subjected to external stress and strains), то процесс излечения никогда в действительности (never really) не получит ни одного шанса, чтобы начаться. Следовательно (consequently), травма не проходит (the injury does not get well), а время, необходимое (required for) на реабилитацию, значительно (markedly) взрастает. Количество дней, необходимых (necessary) для отдыха (resting), зависит от серьёзности травмы (varies with the severity of the injury), даже в случае самых незначительных (minor)повреждений травму не следует беспокоить приблизительно (approximately) от 48 до 72 часов до начала активной реабилитационной программы.

Следует подчеркнуть(It must be emphasized), что отдых не подразумевает (mean) то, что спортсмен ничем не занимается (does nothing). Термин «отдых» относится (applies) только к травмированной части тела.

VI. Oral topic III

MANAGING THE HEALING PROCESS THROUGH REHABILITATION   In sports medicine, the rehabilitation philosophy relative to inflammation and healing after injury is to assist the natural processes of the body while doing no harm. The course of rehabilitation chosen by the sports therapist must focus on their knowledge of the healing process and its therapeutic modifiers to guide, direct, and stimulate the structural function and integrity of the injured part. The primary goal should be to have a positive influence on the inflammation and repair process to expedite recovery of function in terms of range of motion, muscular strength and endurance, neuromuscular control, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The sports therapist must try and minimize the early effects of excessive inflammatory processes including pain modulation, edema control, and reduction of associated muscle spasm, which can produce loss of joint motion and contracture. Finally, the sports therapist should concentrate on preventing the recurrence of injury by influencing the structural ability of the injured tissue to resist future overloads by incorporating various training techniques.
