COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to

(under Certified Athletic Trainer supervision):

1. Apply specific and appropriate taping, wrapping, or prophylactic

devices to prevent injury or re-injury, adhering to principles of

biomechanics and injury mechanism.

2. Fabricate and fit custom protective braces utilizing appropriate

materials to protect specific parts of the body from injury during

athletic activity.

3. Determine the pathology and extent of injury through interview and/or

observation of the athlete.

4. Assess an injury using bilateral comparison, if appropriate.

5. Perform specific injury assessment tests drawing on knowledge of

anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.

6. Administer first aid using standard, approved techniques, and activate

the emergency plan, if appropriate to provide necessary medical care.

7. Select and employ emergency transportation equipment (e.g.spine boards,

stretchers, and splints) following approved techniques.

8. Design rehabilitation or reconditioning programs for the injured

athlete using standard procedures for therapeutic exercise and modalities

to restore functional status.

9. Select appropriate rehabilitation equipment, manual techniques, and

therapeutic modalities as determined by analysis of a particular injury

and accepted standards of care.

10. Maintain injury care records of an injured athlete that comply with

standard athletic training practices.

11. Comply with safety and sanitation standards as related to facilities

and equipment.

12. Demonstrate the appropriate use of universal precautions to prevent

the transmission of infectious diseases.

13. Apply established plans that include emergency and referral systems

specific to various athletic settings.

14. Demonstrate interpersonal communication skills during interactions

with others (e.g., parents, coaches, colleagues, athletes).

15. Adhere to ethical and legal parameters that define the role of both

the student trainer and Certified Athletic Trainers.

*************************************************************************

The nature of the training room experience is such that the skills

practiced depend on which sports are in season and the specific

injuries encountered, therefore,the skills mastered change from

semester to semester.  The following are examples of how the outcomes

will vary for the repeating student. All of the competencies covered above

will be improved and mastered with subsequent repeats of the course.

Upon completion of the course the repeating student will be able to:

1.  Explain and demonstrate variations of prophylactic taping, wrapping

and brace construction (i.e. acute, chronic, activity-specific, position-

specific).

2.  Apply prophylactic methods to a variety of body parts.

3.  Perform advanced testing methods for assessment of injuries.

4.  Utilize a variety of modalities and techniques for management of

   sports injuries.

Assignments:

Under the supervision of a Certified Athletic Trainer the student will act

as a student trainer in the training room and at sporting events assisting

in all aspects of student athlete assessment and injury care including but

not limited to:

1.  Assessment of sports injury through observation and interview

2.  Inspection of injured areas using bilateral comparison

3.  Performance of specific tests on an injured area

4.  Administration of first aid

   course of dealing with injured athletes throughout the semester.

   (class performances)

2.  One to four practical tests of ability to assess a joint-related

   injury and recommend treatment protocol (problem solving)

3.  One skill test on prophylactic taping (performance exam)

4.  One skill test on constructing a brace (performance exam)

5.  Maintaining records on injured athletes

Students repeating the course will perform more advanced assessment tests;

demonstrate more advanced prophylactic taping methods and/or taping for

different body parts; and construct a brace using different methods

and/or construct a brace for a different body part. Practical tests will
