knee pains


today for class we had to take a test over what he have learned on ankles, lower legs and knees. over the last couple days i spent a lot of time studying for this test because there are a ton of injuries that we had to know the mechanism of the injury (how the athlete got injured) and the signs and symptoms of the specific injury. even though i studied for around 5-6 hours for this exam/quiz, i still struggled while taking it. this really made me mad because of all the time i spent studying i will still probably get a low grade. i just hope over the next couple of tests i can get a better grade in it because i have to maintain a B- in this class to be able to be accepted into the program.

after the test we learned another taping method. we learned how to tape a dislocated patella. which pretty much means your knee cap is out of place, which can be very painful. the good thing though is that the taping for it really isn't th hard to do.
