Pathologies and Evaluations of the Orthopedic Injury – UNIT IV
Subject: Path and EvalUnit 1: Lower Spine
Course: Pathologies and Evaluations of the Orthopedic Injury I
Grade Levels: 11 and 12
Assessment: Written and Practical EvaluationTime Frame: 5 weeks
Designed by: Denise Carita Semester: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
Month: S O N D J F M
Scope
Anatomy- Students will be expected to learn the anatomical structures that make up each of these joints in the body. This includes: boney anatomy, soft tissue anatomy, functions of muscles, and nerves that innervate those muscles.
Injuries- Students will be expected to work in groups to select an injury within the unit topic. They will present their injury to the class by using some form of technology i.e. prezi or power point. They are expected to present the injury in a step-by-step fashion as if explaining their evaluation to a fellow colleague. Things included in the presentation:
-Mechanism of injury
- Videos are encouraged
-Incidence of injury
-Observation results
-Palpation results
-Manual muscle test results
-Special test results
-Results from imagining
-Recovery time
Special tests- Students will be learning the special tests that are used to assess each injury they studied. They will be given a brief description via a lecture with power point, and then a hands-on demonstration. Students will be encouraged to practice with a partner in class. When practicing outside of class, students will have it explained to them that they are only allow to practice testing assessments on other students enrolled in the course.
Sequence
Anatomy lectures will take place the first week of every new unit. The students will have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the second week of the unit to work in class with their group on their presentation. Tuesdays and Thursdays will be reserved for lecture on other injuries within the unit that are not being presented but will be evaluated through testing. The third week of classes will be set aside for student presentations. The forth week of classes during the unit will be reserved for instruction of the special tests, as well as how to perform them. The fifth week of classes will begin with student practicals, then a day for exam review, finishing with the unit exam on Friday.
Lecture days- All theory-based lessons will be taught Monday through Thursday. This ensures time in the schedule for days to implicate hands-on practice.
Lab days- All lab days will be on Friday. During these class periods students will have the theory put into practice right in front of them. They will learn:
-Anatomical landmarks
-Locations of muscles
-Things to observe during an evaluation
-Manual muscle testing
-Special testing used for assessment of injury
There will also be a quiz at the end of every week on Quizlet to assess the information retention of each student.
