A Research Study On My Patient

In this assignment I am going to deliberate the care of a patient that I have looked after when working in placement on a hospital ward .I will use the Chapelhow framework to discuss two of the perspectives in relation to the patients care needs. In the Chapelhow framework there are six perspectives that are used to help reflect and discuss patient care. These six perspectives are assessment, communication, documentation, risk management, professional decision making and managing uncertainty(Chapelhow, 2005).The two perspectives I am going to use in this assignment are assessment and communication.

This week I had 2 patients of my own and I rarely needed any help. I am starting to feel comfortable with caring for my own patients and performing my assessments.

Since my knee had not recovered within a few days, I was referred to a sports medicine doctor by the school’s trainer. By the end of my first appointment, he concluded that my knee was not sprained, but my lateral meniscus had been torn. While this was an uncomplicated, simple repair, he stated that I would still be unable to play sports for a few weeks. Disappointed, my mother and I scheduled my next appointment; the next visit held multiple x-rays, tests, and examinations of my injury. About two weeks later, the doctor discovered that there were more issues than just a torn meniscus; in addition, my anterior cruciate ligament, the main knee tendon, had ruptured into several pieces. Fighting back tears, I thought my life and athletic career

Throughout my junior and senior years of high school I was a part of the Student Athletic Training Team in the Sports Medicine Department of Wakefield High School. To help better understand the injuries that the team encountered in the field, I enrolled in the Sports Medicine classes that were offered by the school. The classes were taught by the head athletic trainer for the school who believed in hands-on learning, especially for his student trainers. During the duration of the course and my time as a member of the team, I saw numerous different types of injuries; but there were three that occurred most often: an ankle sprain, a muscle strain, and a rotator cuff tear.

When I was young, I had dreams of being an athlete in college. Despite soccer being my first passion, I learned that kicking a football was my calling.

As I began to prepare for my senior season in June of 2015, my leg became excruciatingly sore. This soreness was diagnosed as an inflamed and partially torn rectus femoris in my upper right thigh. My injury led to a month of physical therapy, no kicking for three months, and much effort to maintain my strength and form. The work I put into my recovery paid off; my kicking game

Typically surgery includes taking an autograft from the patella tendon or the hamstrings and re-passing so as to make the ligament the joining through a tibial and a femoral passage, and connecting it with a pin. The achievement rate of the union is around 90%. Restoration back to ordinary and games will for the most part take six to nine months, however could proceed for more. Come back to typical level of game reaches from 30-90% following 12 months, yet the revamping of ordinary capacity is high. At first, a physiotherapist can make a determination of ACL damage and, if necessary, allude the patient for demonstrative imaging.

After undergoing surgery to reconstruct the lateral collateral ankle ligaments, the patient’s lower leg, ankle, and foot will be immobilized in a cast for six weeks. The patient will be touchdown weight bearing around 2-5 days post-surgery (Sherry, 2014). Upon removal of the cast, he or she is ready to begin the therapy program. The program is centered on enhancing the mobility of the talocrural and subtalar joints by strengthening the flexor and extensor muscles of the lower leg and foot (Moore, 2016). Treatment will progress in difficulty through three therapeutic exercises. Each therapeutic exercise will consist of three phases: the preparatory phase, the force phase, and the recovery phase. This slow gradual

The purpose of this article is to introduce the joint-by-joint approach when treating any types of injury. The idea of the article is based on the Functional Movement screen to treat joint by joint and learn how the movements of the joints relate to training. The human body is made of muscle, tissue, and bones and the joints join it. The article provides understanding of how the athletic trainer or physical therapist should treat the injury.
