The alumni banquet often celebrates after a big game or major victories against rival opponents. Student athletes have to participate or make guest appearances to help make money for their schools athletic programs. There is a lot of money being exchange between the alumni and the school, and athletes can easily make themselves eligible by accepting boosters’ funds; so, if athletes are mandated to attend banquets then they should be able receive funds for participating at these banquets.

College student athletes should not be paid if they are injured. There are over 12,500 injuries per year. Many students would have to be paid, because of the high rate of injuries. If the athletes get paid for the days they cannot play, then the NCAA’s money would be spent rather quickly. There are twenty-five percent of injuries that are severe, which means the students may have to take ten days off, at least, to heal (Thomas). When students do not report their injuries, forty percent of them get diagnosed with Osteoarthritis, which is a type of arthritis found in flexible tissue at the end of worn down bones, that does not have a cure (Preidt). Dorothy Hamill, an Olympic gold medal figure skater in 1976, who is now fifty-nine-year-old, was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. She still skates five times a week. Unfortunately, Hamill is now required to do long warm-ups, because of the aches (Bucciarelli). In order for the

Rehabilitation centers are designed to help “restore some or all of a patient’s physical, sensory and mental capabilities that were lost due to injury, illness or disease” (Farlex, 2012). Many doctors will prescribe rehabilitation services after a patient has suffered through an amputation, neurological issues, a variety of orthopedic injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke or other traumatic brain injuries.

After an incoming student signs a letter of intent to attend a university, a good majority of NCAA schools have no contractual obligation to treat injuries or strains that result from playing for that college. Upon joining a Division 1 team, every participant must have insurance and undergo a medical examination before playing. However, when it comes to protecting the players, who generate billions of dollars every year, from having to pay unexpected medical bills or ensuring they receive proper healthcare, there are no official NCAA rules in place. There is also rules to prohibit a coach from

As a practicing physical therapist in the state of Georgia, and over 35 years of clinical experience in this healthcare field, I am writing to you today to gain the support of your insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBSGA) in the recent achievement of direct access for physical therapists in Georgia. Currently, patients in the state of Georgia now have direct access to physical therapists without the requirement of a physician referral; however under the current health care system physical therapists are still prevented from providing necessary medical treatment to patients, on the account of that services rendered under direct access are not reimbursed by BCBSGA. This extra step places a burden to the consumer by increasing

My background behind Nordic skiing is fairly simple. At the age of four, I was put on my first pair of nordic skis. My family does not have any relations to cross country skiing, besides touring around. At age six, I was signed up for my first race. I vaguely remember my first races as a child. I spent my childhood racing for a club team (Polar Bear Ski Club) and enjoyed racing in the Bill Koch (Olympian, 1976) League. I adored the sport and kept with it throughout my childhood

In addition to this, it can also apply to people going through either rehabilitation and other healing purposes.

As a student athlete who has suffered several sports-related injuries, including concussions, I plan to pursue a major and a career that allows me to help other athletes recover physically and mentally from sports-related injuries. I plan to major in Athletic Training with possible minor in Psychology. From my conversations with a faculty adviser in the School of Public Health, I know that the Athletic Training program at IU is extremely competitive. In case I do not get accepted into the program, my back-up major is Exercise Science. After earning that degree, I hope go on to earn my Master’s in Athletic Training.

In regards to health care legislation, Ms. Rademeyer feels that the large restrictions and limitations on reimbursement has adversely affected the accessibility of comprehensive rehabilitation programs, thus putting more responsibility on the patients as well as the physical therapists (Rademeyer, 2015). She also feels that, even though the requirement for fees to be guided by outcome is a good opportunity for accountability in physical therapy services, there is a big need for balance between the limitations and the outcomes to avoid a negative impact on chances for full recovery of some patients (Rademeyer,

Is the request for 12 Physical Therapy Visits for the Left Knee between 6/13/2016 and 8/12/2016 medically necessary?

Health History: A 25-year-old male injured his left knee in a recent skiing accident. The patient stated that he lost his balance because the inner edge of his right ski got caught while skiing. This resulted in the right leg being externally rotated followed by and audible “pop” as he lost footing. By evening, the right knee joint had become swollen, causing intense pain. The primary care physician referred the case to an orthopedist.

The adverse topic of women in sports stems from society's disregard to viewing women as persons. Women were, and in other parts of the world continue to be viewed as property of men and have no significant role in society. Being allowed into the Olympics was a step in the right direction for women across the world, but it was meager attempt equality. Women were still restricted by what events they were allowed to compete in, how they were trained and coached and even limited as to what they could wear. A woman’s femininity played a large role in the way they were perceived by society; weak. Women were seen as incommensurate to men and it was something that has taken us centuries to reverse. Today, women are given the rights we should have
