Transcription

1 ATEP 345L Athletic Injury Evaluation I Lab Spring 2015 Time: TR 9:25-10:40am (section 1) Place: PCTR 150 Instructors: Zach Adams, MS, ATC, SCAT Office Hours: By Appointment with Instructor /Office Phone: adamszd@cofc.edu / Course Description: This laboratory course focuses on the assessment of athletic injuries occurring to the extremities of the human body. Mechanisms and characteristics of athletic injuries commonly occurring to the joints of the human extremities will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the components of the comprehensive orthopedic physical examination (including: history, inspection, palpation, functional testing, and special evaluation techniques). The laboratory is designed to develop the student s psychomotor skills of orthopedic examination and assessment. Course Objectives: The student will: 1. Demonstrate appropriate preventative taping, wrapping, splinting and bracing techniques. 2. Understand and demonstrate appropriate triage and emergency care procedures including the supplies required to provide this care in accordance with OSHA precautions. 3. Understand and demonstrate appropriate management of a suspected cervical spine injury with and without protective equipment. 4. Understand and demonstrate the ability to obtain patient status through the components of a secondary survey. 5. Demonstrate selection and application of various patient transportation skills to include ambulatory aid and short-distance transport techniques. Prerequisites: ATEP 245 Grading: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+ D, D-, F Required Texts: 1. Starkey C, Brown S, and Ryan J. Examination of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries (3 rd Edition) 2. Konin J, Wiksten D, and Isear J. Special for Orthopedic Examination (3 rd Edition) 3. Biel A. Trail Guide to the Body: A hands-on guide to locating muscles, bones, and more. (4 th Edition)

2 Supplies: All supplies will be provided by the Athletic Training Education Program OAKS: This course will be administered using OAKS. Please refer to the course site on OAKS to obtain course information and materials. ATTENDANCE: Class attendance is vital to success in this course. Therefore, it is your responsibility as the student to attend all class meetings. If extreme circumstances necessitate an absence, you will be held responsible for the class material covered during your absence. Class activities, assignments or evaluations missed due to unexcused absences will result in a grade of zero (0) for that assignment. You are allowed one (1) unexcused absences without penalty (with the exception of assignments as noted above). Any additional unexcused absences will result in a five (5) points deduction from your final point total. Three (3) tardies is equal to one unexcused absence. Being tardy is considered reporting to class after the fifteen-minute grace period. It is your responsibility to see the instructor to ensure the absence is changed to a Tardy. If you enter class late and miss any graded quiz or assignment you will not be allowed to complete the assignment. Absences will be considered for excusal for the following: serious illness, hospitalization, death of a family member or close friend, or attendance at an event representing the College of Charleston (i.e. athletic team travel, gospel choir, WAVE, etc.) Appropriate documentation must be provided for an absence to be considered for excusal. You are responsible for any class content/assignments you miss due to an absence. Any assignment/exam missed due to an excused absence must be made up within one week to receive full credit. It is your responsibility to schedule make-up work with the instructor. Evaluation Criteria: Requirement Skill Assessment (12@ 10 pts) Examinations (2@ 100pts) Final Examination TOTAL POINTS Points Assigned 120 pts 200 pts 100 pts 420 PTS DESCRIPTION OF COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Skill Check-Off Sheets 10 pts ea): On designed laboratory sessions throughout the semester you will be given a 10 point test to assess your level of completing the current laboratory skills. The content of each skill assessment is based on current class topics. Skill assessments will be given on the dates provided on the tentative course schedule.

3 Examinations (2 Exams & Final 100 pts ea): Three oral/practical examinations will be given on the dates on the tentative laboratory schedule. EXAM POLICY: Notification will be provided well in advance (via class announcement and OAKS posting) of any change of an exam date. Please note that if you miss a scheduled exam you will earn zero (0) points for that particular examination. No make-up examinations will be given, unless written documentation is obtained. It is the instructor s prerogative to give an alternate exam if deemed necessary. If you know you will be unable to attend an examination due to an excused absence (i.e. athletic participation, religious holiday, etc.) you must notify the instructor at least one week prior to the absence so alternative arrangements may be made. GRADING SCALE: A % A % B % B 80-84% B % C % C 70-74% C % D % D 64-65% D % F <62% Honor Code and Academic Integrity Lying, cheating, attempted cheating, and plagiarism are violations of our Honor Code that, when identified, are investigated. Each instance is examined to determine the degree of deception involved. Incidents where the professor believes the student s actions are clearly related more to ignorance, miscommunication, or uncertainty, can be addressed by consultation with the student. We will craft a written resolution designed to help prevent the student from repeating the error in the future. The resolution, submitted by form and signed by both the professor and the student, is forwarded to the Dean of Students and remains on file. Cases of suspected academic dishonesty will be reported directly to the Dean of Students. A student found responsible for academic dishonesty will receive a XF in the course, indicating failure of the course due to academic dishonesty. This grade will appear on the student s transcript for two years after which the student may petition for the X to be expunged. The student may also be placed on disciplinary probation, suspended (temporary removal) or expelled (permanent removal) from the College by the Honor Board. It is important for students to remember that unauthorized collaboration--working together without permission-- is a form of cheating. Unless a professor specifies that students can work

4 together on an assignment and/or test, no collaboration is permitted. Other forms of cheating include possessing or using an unauthorized study aid (such as a PDA), copying from another s exam, fabricating data, and giving unauthorized assistance. Remember, research conducted and/or papers written for other classes cannot be used in whole or in part for any assignment in this class without obtaining prior permission from the professor. Students can find a complete version of the Honor Code and all related processes in the Student Handbook at ATHLETIC TRAINING COMPETENCIES: The following competencies are taught and evaluated in this course.
