COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to take an in‑depth look at injuries to athletes. Included will be mechanism, review of anatomical considerations, and comprehensive review of management techniques. The student will be exposed to as many injuries/conditions as possible concerning athletes’ orthopaedic injuries and their management.
OBJECTIVES
1. Demonstration of bracing and padding techniques
a. Cognitive
1. identifies the implication for brace use and the reasoning for selecting a specific brace
2. describes the anatomical considerations for brace selection ( e.g., joint, injury, sport, goals, cost, construction)
3. identifies conditions where protective padding is used
4. describes the materials used in brace construction and the procedure used in constructing a protective pad.
b. Affective
1. recognizes the role of the Athletic Trainer in the selection, construction and implementation of braces and protective padding in managing injuries
2. Spinal cord immobilization techniques, including back boarding, and helmet/shoulder pad removal.
a. Cognitive
1. identifies the conditions that require special consideration with immobilization of a person with a spinal cord injury, including those individuals who wear helmet and shoulder pads
(e.g., football, lacrosse and hockey)
2. describe the evaluative procedures necessary to assess and use of immobilization techniques and equipment
3. identifies and explains the immobilization equipment
b. Affective
1. appreciates the ramifications of injuries to the spine for the victim, the parents and all that have a relationship with the victim
2. recognizes the role of the Athletic Trainer in the dynamics of a victim with a spine injury
c. Psychomotor
1. utilizes assessment skills to make a determination if immobilization and equipment removal are required
2. demonstrates through verbal commands how to properly co-ordinate the preparation and positioning of equipment and personnel
3. demonstrates the removal of protective helmet and shoulder pads
4. demonstrates immobilization techniques for the spine
3. In-depth review of diagnostic modalities used in evaluation of athletic injuries.
a. Cognitive
1. identifies the various diagnostic modalities used in evaluation of injuries(e.g., x-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computer Tomography, Nuclear Scan, Fluoroscopy, Arthroscopy)
2. identifies the various tests used in evaluation of bodily fluids (e.g., hematology, urology)
4. Review of injuries to the upper body included: head and central nervous system, spine, face, shoulder girdle, upper arm, forearm, wrist, hand and fingers. Surgical vs. non-surgical treatment will be discussed.
a. Cognitive
1. identifies pertinent anatomical considerations for each body area discussed
2. identifies and explains surgical techniques for management of specific injuries( e.g., (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand)
6. Injuries to the lower body included: hip, upper thigh, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot. Surgical vs. non- surgical treatment will be discussed.
a. Cognitive
1. identifies pertinent anatomical considerations for each body area discussed
2. identifies and explains surgical techniques for management of specific injuries( e.g., hip, knee, ankle, foot)
7. Case study development.
8. Complete 2 review of literature on an assigned topic and to construct a 15-minute lecture concerning each topic.
