Understanding Skeletal System Injuries: Types, Treatments, and Long-term Benefits

This lesson explores various injuries to the skeletal system, including fractures, dislocations, and joint injuries like tennis and golfer’s elbow. Learn about weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing activities and their long-term benefits for bone health. We will discuss the effects of exercise and diet on the skeletal system and the importance of proper treatment methods such as RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Test your knowledge with questions on injury types and preventive activities to enhance bone strength through exercise.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Injuries to the Skeletal System

  2. Is this weight bearing or non weight bearing? • What is a long term benefit that this type of activity provides to the skeletal system?

  3. Lesson Objectives • knowledge of the different sports injuries that can happen to the skeletal system • Knowledge of exercise and the effects it has on the skeletal system • Knowledge of diet and the effects it has on the skeletal system

  4. Fractures • Compound • Greenstick • Simple • Stress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QTCBrefXso

  5. Fractures • Compound: Broken bone that comes through the skin • Greenstick: Break only part way across the bone • Simple: Fracture in one line, no displacement • Stress: Overuse injuries usually in weight bearing areas such as lower leg (shin splints)

  6. Guess the Fracture

  7. Joint Injuries • Tennis & Golfers Elbow • Dislocations • Sprains • Torn Cartilage

  8. Tennis & Golfers Elbow This is an injury cause by overuse to the tendons at the elbow joint. • Dislocation This is when a bone is forced out of its normal position as a result of a hard impact causing the blood to be displaced. • Sprain This is a damaged ligament, commonly caused by a twisting of the ankle • Torn Cartilage Cartilage is a protective substance that covers the end of a bone. Tearing can be caused by twisting at a joint e.g. the knee

  9. Treatment - RICE • Rest • Ice • Compression • Elevation

  10. Test your knowledge • What type of injury is a dislocation? (1) • What is the cause of tennis elbow? (1) • Which physical activity would you choose if you wanted to improve your bone strength(1) cycling swimming running • Explain why you chose the activity. (3)
