The Importance Of E-Stem In Training

365 Words2 Pages

I spend my observation hours in the training room this week. While in the training room, I learned a lot more about the e stem machine. I learned that e-stem is mainly used to reduce pain as opposed to actually healing the injured body part. The e-stem can also be used to help people recover from surgery. It is crazy thinking about all the resources we have now to help people return from injuries. We have come such a long way in helping people with technology over the years. I learned that ultrasound can help warm muscles up in spots that are hard to warm up. Since I will be taking kinesiology next semester and I am really looking forward to it. I asked Nicole what some of the content will be like in the class. Hearing about what the class will be about I realize that I will need to put a lot of time and effort into that class. …show more content…

It is really interesting that concussions can have such a profound effect on daily life even though the injury occurred a long time ago. I definitely can see how athletes would want to return to play after sustaining a concussion especially guys. The more athletes are educated about concussions, hopefully they will realize that sometimes in sports the best option is to sit out. So many athletes these days make rash decisions about injuries without thinking about the long term consequences. Guys athletes always feel like if they don’t return from an injury as soon as possible that they are weak, or letting their team down. Having said that athletes need to be informed, I know that this is no easy task. I feel that if athletes are more educated on concussions they could avoid making decisions they may later

    Thomas still is not able to control his mood swings after all of these years. I agree with Thomas when he says “One thing that I realized is that discussing the effects of concussions and the reality of the situation doesn 't make me less of a man, less tough, less loyal to the National Football League, a less love for the game," he said. "All it means is that I 'm not an ignorant fool, and that I don 't ignore factual evidence that this is happening to not only football players, but [other athletes]”. It is very important to understand this is not a local issue in just football. People are getting injured every day in the brain and will eventually not be able to use their brains like they used to.

    However, it is also important to note that a concussion can also take place outside of sports, meaning it can happen to anybody. For instance, there have been incidents where a person tripped while running, fell, and the impact of their head’s contact with the ground caused a concussion. Or, in a car accident many front-seat passengers, or even the driver, have slammed their heads against the dashboard/steering wheel, also possibly resulting in a concussion. Concussions when treated can be healed in a timely manner. Unfortunately, throughout history, there has been a tendency for people to overlook a concussion as a serious injury, therefore, making it more problematic than it already is.

    When you suffer a concussion, your brain is in danger. When you suffer multiple concussions you are in even more danger of permanent damage. After a hard blow to the head, your brain bounces off the walls of your skull damaging your brain. Football should continue to be a physical sport but give the athletes a couple of plays off after receiving a hard hit. With that being said, I also believe players should retire after a certain amount of

    When student athletes participate in contact sports, they run the risk of getting a concussion. A concussion, according to The American Academy of Neurology, is defined as "A trauma induced alteration in mental statues that may or may not result in loss of consciousness". Short term effects could cause a change in mood, along with headaches and nausea; whereas long term effects of a concussion can range from drastic behavioral changes and mood disturbances to cognitive difficulties. These symptoms are very prevalent in student athletes that may get a concussion and can only get worse when one has been re-concussed. I believe that student athletes should be required to sit out for a longer period of time following the events of a concussion.
