Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to create an exercise package containing research proven evidence based exercises for Extensor Hallucis Longus and Extensor Digitorum Longus muscles for strengthening purposes. The exercise package consists of eccentric exercises that have been proven to be beneficial in treating tendon problems. The exercise package will be provided to be implemented by the players and coaches of the co-operating bandy team.
The thesis was done in collaboration with Pori Narukerä Jääpalloseura (Pori´s bandy team Narukerä) that competes in the Finnish national league. The exercise package was done by using recent studies that have shown the importance of different factors in rehabilitation of tendons. The thesis provides an evidence based background to support the use of eccentric exercises in treating and preventing different tendinopathies.
The theoretical part of the thesis contains an introduction to bandy including some of the rules used, the lower limb anatomy below the knee level, functions of Extensor Hallucis Longus and Extensor Digitorum Longus, tendon pathologies, tissue healing process, treatment guidelines for tendinopathy, the importance of therapeutic exercises in rehabilitation of Extensor Hallucis Longus and Extensor Digitorum Longus tendinopathy and the motor learning process. The theoretical base of this thesis has been gathered by searches from open access databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Part of the theoretical information has been obtained from literature and various books.
The end product of this thesis will be an individually implemented eccentric exercise package directed to the players and coaches of the Narukerä bandy team. The aim of the package is to help the players to overcome the problems caused by the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus tendinopathy during the season. The exercise package has written instructions with coherent pictures in order to provide enough information for the players and coaches, to execute the given exercises correctly even when done independently without supervision. The exercise package has been planned so that the learning process is guided by the Mosston Spectrum of Teaching Styles that support independent learning (Mosston & Ashworth, 2012 Spectrum of Teaching Styles).
