POSTOPERATIVE KINESIOLOGY REHABILITATION FOLLOWING FOOTBALL PLAYERS ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY

Jedna od najčešćih ozljeda u nogometu današnjice je puknuće prednje ukrižene sveze koja zahtjeva višemjesečni proces oporavka. Mehanizam nastajanja ozljede je kontaktni ili učestaliji ne kontaktni. Proces rehabilitacije traje najmanje šest mjeseci te zbog toga profesionalni sportaš gubi veliki dio sezone. Nogometaš će proći predoperativnu fazu, samu operaciju rekonstrukcije prednje ukrižene sveze te slijedi postoperativna kineziološka rehabilitacija. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati strukturu koljena, moguće rizične faktore i mehanizme nastanka ozljede, kao i prikazati elemente kineziološke rehabilitacije od trenutka ozljeđivanja do povratka na teren.One of the most common injuries in football today is a rupture of anterior cruciate ligament which demands a process of more than a month rehabilitation. Mechanism of getting injured is contactable or more often noncontactable. A process of rehabilitation takes up to six months or more and that is why a professional player loses a big part of season. A football player will go thru preoperational stage, operation itself (reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament) continuing to post operational kinesiology rehab. The aim of this paperwork is to present a structure of a knee, possible risk factors and mechanism of getting hurt, as to show elements of kinesiology rehab from the moment injury occurred to getting a player back on the pitch
