| Title:AS2CaseStudy |
| You are part of the sport and exercise medicine team at Wimbledon. You are conducting an assessment on an injured player’s ankle to assess whether they can continue in the tournament. To present the case study to the head of medicine you are advised to provide a background to the injury (epidemiology and aetiology), the way in which you collected the data (procedures), and your findings (results and discussion). Regardless of whether your athlete has a between-limb asymmetry, you should discuss rehabilitation methods to improve proprioception. |
| Assignment guidance: |
| You will need to evidence understanding of the testing methods by including a background to the test and how it translates to injury risk. You should report the data of your athlete and visually display the data against the “uninjured limb” i.e. compare the limb of interest to the contralateral limb; you should then discuss if they are at risk of an ankle injury. Regardless of the outcome of your individual athlete, you should discuss exercises that could be used to improve proprioception. Background – Discuss the etiology of the injury and how the functionality of the injured site can be assessed Procedures – Discuss the testing procedures used to measure proprioception, treat this as a methods section. Include an image of the procedures. Findings – Report the results of the joint position test and discuss whether the athlete is at risk of injury. Compare your data to the contralateral limb and include figures where possible. Regardless of your findings i.e. even if your athlete is not at risk of injury, discuss exercises and the efficacy of these exercises to improve proprioception using the literature To address Learning Outcome d) you are required to provide details of exercise interventions that can improve proprioception and thus, rehabilitate an injured athlete and/or prevent future injury. To address Learning Outcome e) you will demonstrate learning from consolidation sessions when discussing the background of injuries in the background section, providing a basic needs analysis of the athlete (and sport), and presenting figures in your findings section. You will also report the methods used in the lab practical session. To address Learning Outcome f) by meeting the deadline of the assignment and producing an assignment that meets the requirements of the assignment brief. You will also draw upon sources by including citations in the report. You should evidence a critical mindset in your work highlighting potential strengths or limitations within the research. Consider the level of athletes used within your cited literature, age, sex, or assessment methods, etc. Academic formatting Level of critical skill displayed within the work. Appropriateness and breadth of resources utilized in forming your report Format and presentation of work – Arial 11 font; 1.5 line spaced, left justified text, page no Correct use of the HarvardReferencingSystem (in text and reference list) Reference list.
