ABSTRACT

Sports injury is quite common with negative impact on patients' sport performance and functional capacity. Rehabilitation for patients with sports injury mainly aims at recovering their functional capacity to preinjury level, assisting them to return to sports safely, and preventing re‐injury. However, the rehabilitation outcomes of sports injury remain suboptimal. The author outlines the constraints to the improvement of rehabilitation outcomes and emphasizes on the acute phase and post-acute phase rehabilitation management as well as other important issues in the practice of rehabilitation management so as to better standardize the rehabilitation practice, optimize the rehabilitation process, and eventually improve the clinical and functional outcome of sports injury.
