Application of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of injuries sustained in boxing and savate boxing

Abstract

U ovom završnom radu opisana je povijest boksa i savate boksa, utvrđena su pravila tih sportova, navedene su razlike između amaterske i profesionalne razine natjecanja te su navedene neke od najčešćih ozljeda u oba sporta i načini liječenja istih. Podrobnije je opisano pet različitih ozljeda s kojima se praktikanti ova dva sporta susreću tijekom vlastite karijere, zatim je spomenuta anatomija, mehanizam nastanka ozljeda, načini liječenja neovisno jesu li konzervativni ili operativni te sama uloga fizioterapeuta u rehabilitaciji i saniranju mogućih ozljeda. Borcima je od velike važnosti što raniji povratak u ring bez posljedica od prethodno pretrpljene ozljede, stoga je fizioterapeutima primarni cilj svesti moguće rizike na minimum, a sportaša potpuno rehabilitirati bez kasnijeg negativnog utjecaja na njegove performanse. Obzirom na kontaktnu i agresivnu prirodu ovih sportova, liječenju je potrebno pristupiti oprezno i stručno s neupitnim znanjem kako terapeut ne bi prouzročio dodatnu štetu uz već postojeće narušeno stanje. Neadekvatan pristup pacijentu, od same procjene i uzimanja anamneze pa sve do provedbe tretmana i rehabilitacije, može rezultirati ponovnim ozljeđivanjem sportaša s još razornijim posljedicama po zdravlje. Obrađene ozljede mogu se također javiti u većini ostalih sportova, no ipak su specifične za boks i savate boks, stoga je potrebno poznavati ulogu i primjenu fizioterapije u samoj rehabilitaciji istih.This final paper describes the history of boxing and savate boxing, establishes the rules of these sports, lists the differences between amateur and professional levels of competition, and lists some of the most common injuries in both sports and their treatment methods. Five different injuries that practitioners of these two sports encounter during their careers are described in more detail, then the anatomy, the mechanism of injury occurrence, treatment methods, regardless of whether they are conservative or surgical and the role of physiotherapists in the rehabilitation and repair of possible injuries are mentioned. It is of great importance for fighters to return to the ring as soon as possible without consequences from a previously suffered injury, therefore the primary goal of physiotherapists is to minimize possible risks and fully rehabilitate the athlete without later negative impact on his performance. Given the contact and aggressive nature of these sports, treatment must be approached cautiously and professionally with unquestionable knowledge so that the therapist does not cause additional damage to the already existing impaired condition. An inadequate approach to the patient, from the assessment and history taking to the implementation of treatment and rehabilitation, can result in re-injury of the athlete with even more devastating health consequences. The injuries treated can also occur in most other sports, but are specific to boxing and savate boxing, therefore it is necessary to know the role and application of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of these sports
