Hey guys!
The semester is already almost over (Sharon said it would fly by). Final practicums are this Saturday!
This Open Lab was supposed to be used for final review, and I know some of you were working in the make-up clinic so you couldn't come to Open Lab, but I only had one student show up today (so far).
I wanted to post a couple of reminders for you guys that might save you a few points during finals. Remember that none of us are trying to trick you, and we've gone over the scenarios plenty of times, so you don't have to panic over it!
Finals Reminders:
~ Don't forget the simple things! Be on time, clip your nails, wash your hands thoroughly, and have your client put all of their belongings away!
~Keep communication open with your client. Ask constant questions, keep checking in, keep obtaining pain scales.
~ Always test both sides of the body when doing assessments, so you have a baseline to compare the bad side.
~ Make sure you can effectively explain, locate, and treat trigger points! Don't forgot the isometric contraction/passive stretch!
~ Make sure you know the proper procedure when it comes to hydrotherapy.
~ You should probably do ROM and a MMT.
You have the scenarios to practice with. Go through them! I'm available by appointment only for one-on-one tutoring in the Academic Support Center. If you want to meet with me just to discuss the practicum and review the scenarios/notes/tests, send me a text. I have limited availability but I will try to work something out with you if you need it.
Good luck!
~Jess
