The most common injuries in team sports and their early rehabilitation with the use of orthopedic sport supports

Team sports, such as handball, basketball, volleyball, football, all contain numerous changes of direction, jumps, landings in which acute traumatic injuries are frequent. The most common injuries are ankle distortion and dislocation, with the younger age groups and female athletes at risk. With the senior population, acute knee ligament injuries are common ; anterior cruciate ligament (lat. ligamentum cruciatum anterius - ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (lat. posterior cruciatum ligament - PCL), medial collateral ligament (lat. medial colletaral ligament - MCL). The cause of acute injuries may be trauma, resulting from the athlete's contact with a teammate during competition and training, contact with the base, contact with the ball, fence or on- field advertising. When sports field injuries occur, proper decision-making in a short period of time and providing physiotherapy intervention is essential. In the first phase, the protocol, containing protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation (PRICE), is respected. After a medical examination and specialist's treatment, a doctor gives the diagnosis and continues to an early sports physical therapy rehabilitation. In the second phase, the rehabilitation is adjusted to the degree of the strain, partial or complete rupture of the ligament system, and addresses the individual needs of the athlete. The new advances in the domain of sports medicine and rehabilitation accelerate the recovery of the athlete and his/her return to the sports field. During the gradual return of an athlete to the field, in addition to the physiotherapy treatments, physical therapies and exercise programs, bandages, active orthoses and braces are also given. The orthopedic supplies used for injuries in team sports are: sports ankle and elbow support, sports wrist strap, dynamic sport ankle support and sport support for the knee. They are used in the rehabilitation phase, recovery, training and sports activities, and can be used in the prevention of the occurrence of injuries. Their benefit is that they increase endurance and enable faster recovery, and do not interfere with the biomechanics of joint movement.
