摘要:
In briefA physician who treats many brief masters athletes in his practice suggests an approach to managing active seniors' injuries that avoids ageism: Don't treat them any differently than younger patients. Overuse injuries are the most common sports injuries among older patients. The emphasis of rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies is on improving strength and flexibility. Preparticipation exam strategies that evaluate age-related declines and chronic medical conditions help physicians keep patients safe during activity. Arthritis obstacles can be overcome with medication, stretching, strength training, and physician encouragement.
