Abstract

This clinical case study details the management of an international footballer who sustained a high-grade biceps femoris T junction tendon injury. Following surgical repair of the tendon, the player completed a phased return to training rehabilitation programme that was designed to progressively expose load and function from a strengthening, physical conditioning and technical performance aspect. This case report outlines the phases and subsequent aims in conjunction with shared decision-making processes that assisted to ensure a successful rehabilitation. This case report considers the alignment of “normal” training load and volume as a comparative marker as well as additional comparative physical profiling metrics to further inform suitability to return to training. This case report further outlines the importance of individualised rehabilitation as well as longitudinal monitoring upon returning to training to reduce further risk of (re)injury and return to performance.

国际足球运动员股二头肌t型结手术修复与康复的临床病例报告。

本临床病例研究详细介绍了一名国际足球运动员的管理，他持续了高度的股二头肌T连接肌腱损伤。在手术修复肌腱后，球员完成了分阶段的恢复训练计划，该计划旨在从加强，身体调节和技术表现方面逐步暴露负荷和功能。本病例报告概述了各个阶段和随后的目标，并结合有助于确保成功康复的共同决策过程。本病例报告将“正常”训练负荷和训练量的一致性作为比较指标，以及额外的比较身体分析指标，以进一步告知是否适合重返训练。本病例报告进一步概述了个性化康复的重要性，以及在恢复训练后进行纵向监测，以减少进一步（再）受伤的风险并恢复表现。

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
