The things that was through my head was when can I play or return or is this the end of my basketball career. The personal trainer came back and told me I’m going to be in recovery for

full participation. Because ankle sprains are the most common basketball injury, this chapter will discuss the treatment plan considerations. The initial objective with an ankle sprain is to control swelling that includes protection, rest, ice, compression, and evaluation (P.R.I.C.E) treatment. The P.R.I.C.E treatment plan involves 1) protecting the ankle with braces, wraps, or crutches, 2) resting the ankle by not doing activities that cause pain, 3) icing the ankle for 20 minutes and off for 60

near the ends of the long bones in their arms and legs. Because these are the last portion of the bones that harden (ossify), they are particularly vulnerable to injury. For instance, the same type of accident that might cause an adult to have an ankle sprain can be a growth plate fracture in a child. How long does this last? Girls' growth plates usually harden or ossify wen they're around ages 13 to 15 years old, while boys' growth plates harden later, at

Athletic training was founded in the early 1950’s. At first there were only a few members centered mostly in colleges and universities. Today, athletic training has grown to 22,700 certified and student members’ worldwide. For a student to become certified they must first get a four-year college education with a bachelor’s degree. After that they have to volunteer at a clinic or hospital and gain hands on experience, some students work for their perspective universities. Then they must also pass

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries among the pediatric population between the ages of 10 and 19, especially with an increased participation in recreational and competitive sports.1,2 Of that pediatric population, females are reported to be more susceptible to ankle injuries than their male counterparts.1 The reoccurrence rate is of even greater concern being as high as 70% within the active, adolescent female population.3 Some potential risk factors that may be contributing to an increased

standard ankle braces. In addition, many poorer families struggle to afford such expensive devices. My goal for this invention is to develop a feasible and medically accepted system in which a 3D scan of the patient’s foot will be manipulated on the computer to create a custom, 3D-printed brace. This innovative new process, combining the new technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing, will result in an orthotic that can be produced quickly and inexpensively.

Introduction In America it is called soccer, but in the rest of the world it is called football. This sport consists of a ball being kicked with feet with the intent of getting the ball into the goal. The faster the ball moves, the less time the goalie has to prevent a goal from being scored.
