Health Medical Homework Help

An athlete comes to you with an injury.  Your job is to design a rehabilitation and conditioning program for the next week that will put the athlete on the path to recovery.  Put the knowledge gained from this semester into action in a real-world situation.

• A detailed explanation of the mechanism of injury (5pts)
• General recovery timeline with weekly/phasic goals for full return to sport (5pts)
• Complete 3 therapy sessions within the course of a week after the diagnosis (20pts/day = 60pts total)
  • Each therapy day must list specific physical therapy exercises/activities
  • No session is the same – show variety in each of the 3 days
  • 5 different rehabilitation exercises per day 
• Each exercise must include the number of reps/number of sets or a time component (ex: 3×10 or 3x 30sec/each)
• Each exercise must include the intensity level and recovery period (ex: 3×10 @ 5lbs, 45sec rest)
• Exercises should not put the patient at further risk of injury
• Exercises are applicable to the injury
• 5 different stretches, with at least one of each type (Static, Dynamic and PNF)

• Warm-up is applicable to the injury and attempts to warm up the body 
• Complete 2 workouts of a general strength & conditioning plan to keep the athlete in shape until they fully return (15pts/day = 30pts total)
• Each exercise must include the number of reps/number of sets or a time component (ex: 3×10 or 3x 30sec/each)
• Each exercise must include the intensity level and recovery period (ex: 3×15 @ 25lbs, 45sec rest)
