Although an Athletic Trainer may perform many other tests for the Knee, the focus of our activity will be on the following:  Anterior and Posterior Tests and the Valgus/Varus Test.  

The evaluation scheme is divided into four broad categories:  history, observation, palpation and special tests.  (HOPS)

History:  Present Injury, Mechanism of Injury, Injury Location, Pain Characteristics, Joint Responses, Determining chronic vs. acute, history of injury 

Observation:  Is there deformity?  Limp?  Are movements slow, jerky, asynchronous? Is the patient unable to move the body part?  Are there unnatural protrusions or lumps?  Postural malalignment?

Palpation:  Done by a licensed athletic trainer.  Bony palpation, soft tissue palpation, movement assessments, goniometric measurements (done today in class), manual muscle testing, Neurological tests:  sensory, reflex, projected vs. referred pain, motor testing

Joint Stability Testing:  Accessory, Functional Performance, (done in class today) Postural Examination, Anthropometric and Volumetric measurements.

Special Questions (Regionspecific historical examination)

• Any back or leg pain? (Is pain in a dermatomal region – pain in the knee can be referred from the back)
• Is there hip or ankle pain? (Knee pain can be referred from the hip or biomechanically affected by the ankle)
• Did the patient hear a pop/click at time of injury?
• Does the knee give way? (instability/rupture of ligaments)
• Does the knee lock? (meniscus, true locking associated with bucket handle tears)
• Did the knee swell? How quickly? Where is the swelling? (Intra articular/ extra articular; immediate swelling usually indicates trauma within the knee such as ligament damage)
• Was there bruising? (Immediate bruising indicates significant trauma
• Cough/sneeze cause pain?
• Age The following conditions are not exclusive to these age groups but a higher prevalence is noted in these populations (elderly OA?, young osgoods schlatters, middle aged- meniscal).
• Type of shoes ( wear patterns/age of shoes/proper design)

1.  After reviewing the video (provided above), working with a partner, perform the four special tests demonstrated:  Anterior/Posterior Tests, and the Valgus/Varus Tests.

2.  Discuss your findings with your partner and work collectively to complete your assignment below. 

3.  Type your answers and submit individually.  Describe the technique for each test performed,  when the test is used, the ligament the special test is designed to evaluate and discuss the evidence of the result (positive or negative).  Please submit your answers to these questions for each of the four (4) tests performed.  

On a spreadsheet should have 20 “height” values listed below, along with my height of 64 inches as the “x” value. And then remember, you’re going to find the mean and the sample standard deviation. Give us a background. People that you chose maybe come up with an Excel spreadsheet. Where do you have? You don’t have to give names like personal information, but you could do gender, age, location. And then of course, let us know their heights. How did you choose your participants? Was it a systematic sampling method, was a convenience? Was it cluster stratified? And let me clarify one thing. I know that I said in my lecture, the convenience is not always the best, but it’s still, It’s still used very octets. So don’t feel that you’re going to get points taken off just because he used a convenient sample. Okay. But I want you to know what a convenience sample is and make sure that you’re choosing the right sampling method that describes what you did to gather data. Okay, so you’re going to answer these questions. Then you’re going to use the empirical rule. So you’re very comfortable with this now, since we just did it, you’re going to put in the mean and the sample standard deviation. And tell me what these values tell you about the heights of the people in your study posted a screenshot of your work, then you’re going to use the normal distribution, okay, which we’ve used. And you’re going to post a screenshot comparing your height. So you want to make sure to know how tall you are. And so you’re going to put how tall you are in for x (64 inches), the mean, and a standard deviation based off the 20 values. And then tell me what this means, and that’s it.

**These spreadsheets are examples of what should be used for the height data (inches per person)…60, 60, 62, 64, 65, 65, 65, 66, 67, 67, 68, 68, 69, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 74, 75

**answer questions about the spreadsheet explanation in a word document with APA references

*use of probability & normal distribution

*use excel spreadsheets & interpret results

DISCUSSION 1

Throughout the course, you have examined how historical events impact current events. Historians are often motivated to partly study the past because that knowledge can help us frame, compare, and understand modern problems. However, what responsibilities does an ordinary citizen have to know a particular history (such as different historical perspectives, different historical times, and different geographical regions) or to have the skills to study history effectively?

Discuss what responsibilities, if any, citizens should have related to being historically informed. For example, what historical inquiry skills might be important for a citizen to have to address current global challenges?

Think about a challenge, opportunity, event, or issue that affects your community. How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?

DISCUSSION 2

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• What are some benefits of maintaining compliance?
• How can you make employees and managers care about compliance?
• Identify a compliance training in your organization and a strategy you can use to engage employees in the training.

DISCUSSION 3

Imagine you work for a manufacturing company. The executives are concerned that the latest safety report shows a 20% increase in accidents. Theyve asked you to take immediate action and do additional safety training for all employees. The director of HR expressed concern and wants to conduct a needs analysis first.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

• Do you agree with the executives or the HR director? Justify your perspective and provide at least 1 specific example to support your view.

There are two general modes of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Some organisms can reproduce using just one method, while others have the option to reproduce either sexually or asexually. Given the choice, which one should an organism perform? Most organisms reproduce sexually. Are there advantages to this? Are there disadvantages to this?

For this assignment, you will prepare a slide presentation detailing the major advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction. Imagine that this is a presentation for a middle school class, and the terminology you use must be easily understood.

For this slide presentation, you should include

Advantages of sexual reproduction.
A specific example (including the organism) where sexual reproduction has been beneficial.
Disadvantages of sexual reproduction.
A specific example (including the organism) where sexual reproduction has been detrimental.
A list of the references used.
You will produce a series of slides that address the pros and cons of sexual reproduction. You should prepare these slides as though you would use them as a visual companion to an oral presentation. Be sure to proofread your slides and ensure that they are visually appealing (clear, easy to read, appropriate colors, etc.).

To create your presentation, you use either MS Powerpoint or Google Slides. You should include a minimum of 10 slides (not counting an introduction and reference slide). Your submission will be a presentation file that you have created.

Keep in mind that these slides are meant as a prop for an oral presentation. This means, they do not need to include all the words that the presenter would be speakin
