Today in ATC 241 (Clinical Practicum II), members of the Missouri State University Men’s Lacrosse and Hockey teams came into class to discuss equipment and common injuries for their sports. Athletic training students got a chance to learn from these athletes as they explained how the equipment fits and what layers are included in dressing for each sport.
Additionally, the lacrosse and hockey athletes discussed common injuries in their respective sports and considerations for athletic trainers such as field/rink conditions when responding to an injury. Athletic training students learned the proper way to remove pads and equipment should they need to gain access for injury assessment and treatment.
Thank you to members of the MSU Men’s Lacrosse and Hockey teams for taking the time to come to class today!
