Extra Blog: April

During mentorship I noticed more and more of the incorporation of technology into every activities. The head AT at Southlands Christian began by cataloging each athletes injury on her computer and what initial symptoms and diagnosis was given each time the athlete met with her. When I asked her the reason for this she said it was a way to refer back to prior notes on each athlete along with being able to carry that information with her anywhere she went via her phone. That technology benefited me as well because while she was teaching me the anatomical structures of the body, she made it easier to translate through 3D visuals that explained motions of certain muscle groups. This incorporation of technology has benefited sports medicine in many ways aside from just treating an injury.
