Week 3
It is starting to irritate me how much free time I have this semester. I am bored and I am tired already.
Monday we have a tens exam to ensure we are competent to use a tens machine for treatment.
I ran another 10k and smashed my PB by 8.5 minutes
Tuesday I did nothing, yet again.
Wednesday, THE END OF RED JANUARY! Boy it’s been a long month!!
Thursday we were back to lectures with a very hard lecture on the maitland concept for manual therapy.
I don’t understand it at all yet, but I’m sure with some revision that will change.
In the practicle we started to learn wrist mobilisations. This is super cool how you can treat the wrist in simple movements. If you want to treat pain, you have to use grade 1 and 2, but if you wanted to treat stiffness you use grades 3 and 4.
For the wrist you have physiological movements, flexion, extension, radial and ulna deviation which you treat after you have assessed the range of movement and the pain.
You also have accessory movements like distraction.
We also touched on the elbow physiological movements of flexion, extension, pronation and supination, but more detail will be given next week.
On Friday we started to look at stats for our research. We took part in a practicle where I performed the functional movement screening test where I had to do 7 movements to assess my ability to do them. We then had to perform the stats on this to test the intrareliability of us as raters and the test.
I look forward to my first park run outside of red January!
