Collegiate Athletes’ Perceptions of Adhesive Ankle Taping: A Qualitative Analysis by Erika Hunt and Sandra Short is a qualitative study to explore the athletes’ perceptions of adhesive ankle taping. Adhesive tape is a very popular treatment modality for athletic injuries because it can be used for retention of wound bandages, compression, stabilization, prevention of additional injuries, and protection of both acute injuries and recent injuries. Taping had been important of athletic training; the widespread belief in the effectiveness of ankle taping and the extremely high incidence of lateral ankle sprains among athletes’ results in the frequent use of adhesive taping on ankles in athletics today (Wilkerson, 2002, p. 280). Adhesive taping has been shown to decrease ankle sprain incidence by providing mechanical support and enhanced proprioception for foot-ankle complex (Cordova, Ingersoll, Palmieri, 2002, p. 281). The benefits of taping include ankle range of motion, strength, and neuromuscular control. I choose this article, because my sophomore year in high school, I broke my right ankle playing in an indoor soccer game. After I got the cast off, I was required to wear either an ankle brace, or have my ankle taped before any athletic performance (practice, game, …show more content…

One of the questions being what did your athletic trainer tell you about ankle taping? One athlete left it blank, six said they got told “something” from their athletic trainer, and the other four said they got told “nothing.” Another question was how would you feel if you were not allowed to tape your ankle(s)? Some of the participants said “I would not play as hard”, while others said “I would forget about it.” I am personally surprised people said they would forget about it, because when I stopped wearing a brace/tapping my ankle, I felt so weird, and it took me a while to get use to not having that

In adults, the elbow is the second most dislocated joint in the body, succeeding shoulder dislocations. Most elbow dislocations occur in the posterior direction, which causes a disengagement of the “coronoid process of the ulna from the trochlea of the humerus” (Chicharoen, Kwon, Windle, & Lovato, 2014). Typically, the mechanism of injury is falling on an outstretched hand (FOOSH) with the elbow in an extended position upon impact. For example, an athlete participating in the first practices for two-a-day fall football was running a defensive back contact drill, and upon collision of the ground, the athlete extended his arm to catch himself. This case study, as like many previous athletes, presented with a shortened forearm that was held in

My childhood was defined by a fascination with the way things worked, which naturally led me to pursue a career in medicine. I have found that this industry is one of limitless possibilities, and an overwhelming amount of choices for where to focus my studies. Through formal and informal study I versed myself in specialties like dermatology, orthopedics, and pain management, but podiatry was like no other in that it incorporates all of these specialties to treat a particular region. I see a medical universality encompassed within podiatry, as this focus on the foot and ankle is far more impactful than one might expect. Podiatry is directly related to mobility, which defines the very notion of functional independence.

Some of the most common injuries seen in youth football include traumatic knee injuries such as ACL/PCL tears and damage to the cartilage of the knee, shoulder injuries such as damage to the cartilage surrounding the socket of the shoulder, concussions, back pain from overuse, and heat stroke, and complications related to dehydration. Many youth football players also must deal with broken bones and torn ligaments. With the amount of injuries these young athletes are at risk of getting, it’s amazing that parents even let their children play football at all. Although uncommon, there have been football injuries resulting in paralysis and other injuries that affect the quality of life for the individual in question. With the amount of injuries young football players are exposed to, it would be reasonable to consider banning the sport in people under the age of 18

Working with a wide variety of injuries gives you the knowledge to be confident in your abilities as an ATC. What many people do not know is that athletic trainers use preventative care workouts just as much as rehabilitation workouts. We prevent athletes from developing an injury with many of the same rehabilitation workouts that we have. The author of suburbanortho.com writes, “Although rehabilitation is most commonly cited as the main focus of sports medicine, preventative care is a huge aspect of the field, as well. The idea is to improve and maintain one’s health, in order to help avoid future injuries.”
