Blog 8:Research and Working EQ

1.My working EQ is "What is the most effective way to treat an ACL tear.

2. EQ: What is the most effective way to treat an ACL tear?

-follow physical therapists who have patients that are currently recovering from an ACL tear.
-Research the process that patients go through before going through ACL reconstruction and post surgery rehabilitation.

3.  For now the most important source has been all the research I have done about ACL reconstruction, rehab, and preparation.  However I will start working soon with a physical therapist and learn first hand the process that one must go through to treat such an injury.

4.  I am currently volunteering in the physical therapy department of Kaiser Permanente.  I have multiple people that I follow, but I am going to be able to work one on one with a physical therapy about ACL tears.  It directly correlates with my working EQ because I will experience the process of the treatment first hand.

Blog 7 Independent Component 1 (approval)

Independent Component

1.  For my 30 hours of independent component 1 I plan to learn about the pre-surgery rehabilitation of an acl tear.
2. Since I have a torn ACL I get to experience first hand the routine of those who prepare their bodies before going into surgery.  Also the hospital where I volunteer is also the place where I am currently going to get healed.
3.  I will be doing my own personal research, and I will ask my physical therapist more info about it.
