When a patient who has a flail segment exhales, the segment of the ribs will push outward while the rest of the chest cavity pulls inward. This is referred to as the paradoxical motion.

Paradoxical motion is defined as the movement of ribs in a segment of a flail that is the opposite of the direction of movement of the rest of the chest cavity. An indication of respiratory distress characterized by injury to the breathing structures is known as paradoxical breathing. When breathing in, the abdomen or chest walls move in as opposed to out. With each breath, the abdominal wall and the chest wall frequently move in opposition to one another.

The flail chest, or a section of the free-floating chest wall caused by several rib fractures, is the most frequently observed cause of paradoxical breathing. A flail segment, which is defined as two or more consecutive ribs each shattered in two or more locations, develops after a minimum of four complete rib fractures.

The right answer is protect the athlete from further injury.

The types of injuries to avoid can be both physical and psychological.

For physical injuries, the athlete must be transported delicately to the hospital, and provide good care and rehabilitation.

Injury, whether disabling (complete cessation of practice) or disabling (limitation of practice) can  generate, in some athletes, psychological difficulties (feelings of vulnerability, fear of recidivism, fear of not returning to their best level) and lead to the adoption of maladaptive behaviors (disinvestment or overinvestment, avoidance of confrontation).

Accompanying an injured athlete throughout the recovery process helps maintain self-esteem, motivation, and confidence in being able to return to the best level. It also helps to stimulate your commitment to the re-learning process and to help you learn from this experience
