Injury Prevention of the Meniscus
Paper 2/Part 2. Prevention (Maximum 2 pages):
I. Prevention: Within the literature there are ideas and or interventions that have shown to reduce the likelihood of sustaining your group’s specific injury. Your group should discuss in detail what is known about the prevention interventions, what the interventions are, and how they can reduce the likelihood of the injury. How long should the intervention take place? Make sure to include how long the intervention must be to see specific adaptations to the injury mechanisms for that specific injury. You should discuss any interventions that may not reduce the injury as well. It may be possible that your specific injury may have very limited information regarding any prevention techniques or interventions. If you think that is that case, email me to set up a time to meet to discuss what is in the literature about your group’s injury. This is something that must be done early. If a paper is turned in with nothing on prevention and the group did not have a meeting with the instructor, the group will receive a 0 for that section.
II. Optimal Prevention Strategy: At the end of your prevention section, your group should discuss what might be an optimal prevention training program or strategy that can be utilized to reduce the likelihood of an athlete sustaining your group injury. This should be based on the literature you utilized in this section.
III. Background Information: You must utilize peer reviewed research articles and
