AH 324 Evaluation of Athletic Injuries II

Lower Extremity Injury Evaluation ProjectSpring 2005Updated 12/31/04

Each student will have 4 presentations to develop in order to complete this project, as detailed on the injury list. In most cases, there are multiple related topics in each assignment. While only one presentation and Word document are required for each assignment, the assignment should thoroughly address EACH of the topics included in the assignment. In some cases the topics in each assignment are strongly related and overlap to a degree, while in some others they are grouped without much overlap. For each presentation, the student will develop a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation for class presentation & Word document handout which will follow the format as detailed below:

Each PowerPoint presentation must have:

 title slide with the name of the topics included, student’s name, date submitted or due date, course name, and course number

 thorough discussion of each injury topic in a logical order

 graphics and/or video of condition (in addition to the ones included in PowerPoints or UWA web site provided by professor)

 graphics and/or video of examination tests (in addition to the ones included in PowerPoints or UWA web site provided by professor)

 additional graphics and/or audio as appropriate (in addition to the ones included in PowerPoints or UWA web site provided by professor)

 references as covered in Word document

 been submitted electronically by deadline as specified 1/28, 2/18, 3/11, 4/8

Each Word document handout must have

 title page with the name of the topics included, student’s names, date submitted or due date, course name, and course number

 include and follow outline format for injury details as provided

 at least 5 current references in addition to the textbooks required for the class with at least one from each of the following

  • textbook references in bibliographical format with specific page numbers
  • journal/periodical references in bibliographical format
  • web references with specific hyperlinked urls

 five multiple choice questions with 4 to 5 answer choices each with correct answer key

  • pertain to predisposing factors, etiology, presentation, signs, symptoms, history, observation, palpation, specific tests & interpretation, classification (do not include questions related to referral, treatment, management, rehabilitation, protection, return to competition)

 been submitted electronically by deadline as specified 1/28, 2/18, 3/11, 4/8

 After all projects are finalized, I will load everything on a CD and give the comprehensive CD to each class member. Some projects or portions of projects may be published to the web for curriculum and/or other use.
