Combined Sections Meeting, 2017 – San Antonio “We Stink at Loading: Exercise, Progression, Loading, and Nutrition” Lane Bailey Ryan Jackson Phil Page Dan Lorenz Rob Panariello Tissue Repair: Rehabilitation Guideline Lane Bailey, PhD, PT DISCLOSURES US-DOD: “METRC – REPAIR Study” - W81XWH-15-2-0067 US-DOD: “STaR Trial” OUTLINE 1. Briefly Review the Biology of Soft-Tissue Injury & Healing Muscle Tendon Ligament 1. Applied Rehab Principles Acute & Sub-Acute Injury Management Post-Operative Exercise Progression TISSUE INJURY Prognosis based on several factors Many Classification Systems Exist MLG-R: Valle Sports Med 2016 mechanism of injury (M) location of injury (L) grading of severity (G) number of muscle re-injuries (R) More collective severity = Delayed/Poor Prognosis MUSCLE INJURY Muscle Force Thru ECM Mechanical Connection 1. Epimysium 2. Perimysium 3. Endomysium ECM Injury Linked to Prognosis Central Tendon Injury = Poorer Outcomes TENDON INJURY Features of Injured Tendon Disorganized collagen fiber arrangement Increased non-collagenous ground substance Increased number and rounded morphology of the tenocytes Fatty deposits and ectopic ossification LIGAMENT INJURY Location Matters i.e. Intra-articular vs Extra-articular i.e. Intra-synovial vs Extra-synovial Healing Requires a Provisional Scaffold (Blood Clot) Synovial fluid washes away Clot Murray JOR 2013 LIGAMENT INJURY Location Matters Need for healing phases and blood supply is key Murray JBJS 2000 & JOR 2007; Frank JOR 1983 ACL & MCL Fibroblast Comparing in-vitro cell culture Similar cell proliferation LIGAMENT INJURY Murray JBJS 2000 & JOR 2007; Frank JOR 1983 ACL & MCL Fibroblast Comparing in-vitro cell culture Similar cell proliferation HEALING TIMELINES Inflammation Proliferation Maturation HEALING CAPACITY Dependent Upon Injury Location & Blood Supply Neovascularity – Not always good! Signs of poor or compromised healing Intra-articular vs extra-articular Intra-synovial vs extra-synovial HEALING CAPACITY Blood Supply!!! Use knowledge of tissue blood supply density Neovascularity – Not always good! Signs of poor or compromised healing HEALING CAPACITY SOFT-TISSUE HEALING Muscle, Ligament & Tendon are mechanosensitive tissues Mechanical Forces Converted To Biochemical Signals Biochemical signals elicit cellular responses by the local cells Similar mechanical and biological signals are involved in homeostasis, inflammation and repair Understanding mechanobiology in tissue development, homeostasis and repair is critical to designing therapies for soft-tissue injury TENDON & LIGAMENT Tendons are relatively hypocellular and hypovascular, with little or no intrinsic regenerative capacity Tendons consist primarily of collagen fibers (65-80%) oriented in the direction of tensile load. Proteoglycans and glycoproteins combine to form a ground substance, accounting for 1-2% of the dry mass of the tendon. The ground substance surrounds the collagen fibers and plays an important role in cellular interactions and collagen fibrillogenesis HEALING TENDONS Change in phenotype and ECM gene expression of endogenous cells and subsequent protein synthesis are few factors associated with anabolic structural and compositional changes in tendon repair sites Changes cell phenotype LOAD DEPENDANT Avoid excessive or unloading ACUTE MANAGEMENT 1. Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation 2. Create an Ideal Healing Environment Unloading of injured structures Facilitate vascular mobility (dependent vs elevated position) 1. Avoid further damage 2. Begin with muscle activation in safe environment 3. GET PHASE 1 RIGHT!!! PHASE 1 CHANGES IN LOAD TOLERANCE As tissue matures, it can tolerate greater load Avoid Significant Increases in Tissue Load EARLY MANAGEMENT Allow the tissue to recover Understand that the load capacity is compromised Mueller JOSPT 2002 Facilitate transition to the proliferative phase Relative rest Low load activity Quad sets, scap retraction etc…table exercises are ok! Have criteria to progression, no means don’t go! EARLY POST-OP MANAGEMENT Allow the tissue to recover Understand that the load capacity is compromised Mueller & Malluf Facilitate transition to the proliferative phase Relative rest Low load activity Quad sets, scap retraction etc…table exercises are ok! Have criteria to progression, no means don’t go! LOAD TOLERANCE Use Lab & Basic science to determine tissue stress Use physics & clinical judgement when no evidence available Consider All Tissues Involved What’s good for one tissue may not be for another i.e. Graft vs Harvest Site GRADED PROGRESSION POST-OP STRENGTHENING BFR POST-OP STRENGTHENING Blood Flow Restriction Training POST-OP STRENGTHENING Blood Flow Restriction Training POST-OP STRENGTHENING Blood Flow Restriction Training POST-OP STRENGTHENING Blood Flow Restriction Training SUMMARY 1. Understand healing principles of soft-tissues 2. Discuss guide rehab progression 3. Utili Thank You Nutritional and Supplementation Support for Injuries Ryan Jackson, MEd, RD, CSCS, SCCC • Goals of nutrition support of injuries o Reduce muscle atrophy o Increase collagen synthesis/tissue regeneration o Manage inflammation o Maintain optimal body compositionPromote optimal insulin sensitivity and glycemic control* • Strategies to reduce muscle atrophy o Frequent high protein feedings amounts throughout day, especially in and around training/rehab 4-6 times per day every 2-4 hours 25-50 grams per feeding • Leucine light switch for muscle protein synthesis(mTor) o Creatine loading near the end of inflammation phase/onset of injury 20 g creatine/day for 7 days followed by 5-10 grams per day thereafter throughout rehabilitation Increase collagen synthesis/tissue regeneration o Gelatin/Vitamin C supplementation at the onset of injury 5-15 grams gelatin+200-300 mg vitamin C 30-60 minutes before activity Cells in tendons become less responsive after 10 minutes. Turned back on after 6 hours. If possible 2-3 rehab/training/movement sessions per day can maximize o Vitamin A, E, Zinc, and Copper supplementation might play a role in assisting with collagen synthesis and healing Managing inflammation o Remember inflammation is required for injury repair o Optimal omega 3 to omega 6 balance (1:1-3 ratio) Fish Oil @3-9g per day at onset of injury Consume high amounts of avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oils, and grass fed animal fat products o Optimal micronutrient intake Consume a wide variety of vegetables and fruits high in vitamin A, C, E, and D Maintain optimal body composition o Promote insulin sensitivity Optimal protein feedings as listed above Reduce overall calorie and specifically carbohydrate intake during initial phases of injury and immobilization Slowly reintroduce calories in form of carbohydrate as rehabilitation activity and intensity increases Keep carbohydrate feedings limited to in and around training o Maintain glycemic control • • • The less lean an athlete is the more likely they might be at risk for poor glycemic control Poor glycemic control shown to decrease response/adaptation in tendons to training • I.e. association between diabetics and tendinopathy Reconditioning/rehab=optimal time for retraining the body to better be fuel adapted? • Energy system training • Utilize fat as a fuel source • Train low/recover low strategies References Abate M, Schiavone C, Salini V, Andia I.
