What is Pediatric 体育康复?

The 体育康复 program, a key component of the 运动医学项目 at Johns Hopkins 儿童医院, helps athletes return to play after injury.

It addresses injuries that occur among athletes involved in any sport such as:

• 足球
• 排球
• 篮球
• 体操
• 棒球
• 垒球
• 足球
• 网球
• 游泳
• 高尔夫球
• 和更多的!

The sports rehab team at Johns Hopkins All Children's is made up of physical therapists and occupational therapists who are experts not only in sports rehabilitation, but specifically pediatric sports rehabilitation. The team collaborates with the referring physician to maximize results. We specialize in the treatment of acute and chronic sports injuries, and address underlying areas of concern to prevent future injuries.

项目概述

• A one-on-one sports injury assessment based on the athlete's physical and skeletal maturity, 技术水平, 以及绩效目标
• Individualized treatment to return the athlete back to his/her sport in a healthy, 竞争条件, prepared with the knowledge and skill to avoid re-injury
• Personalized therapeutic exercise program designed to increase physical performance through improving flexibility, 活动范围, 强度, 协调, 和耐力
• Treatment period is often of short duration
• Requires commitment on the part of the athlete and parent to consistently perform the home exercise program

Why is 体育康复 Important?

Beginning therapy early allows the athlete to benefit from manual soft tissue and joint mobilization to decrease the initial pain and inflammation resulting from an injury. Treating sports injuries purely with medication and rest does not target the 强度 and skills required to return to a sport and decrease the risk of re-injury. Johns Hopkins All Children's blends therapists' unique knowledge of orthopedics and pediatric growth and development with knowledge of sport-specific demands. This sports rehabilitation approach is used to provide comprehensive care of the athlete from initial injury to return to sport.
