Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?
Over the break I had surgery, but during that time I learned a lot about my injury.  I learned different exercises to help me gain some mobility in my knee and in the second week of my recovery I was able to go to therapy to see where I am with my knee.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing that I learned came from my therapist.  She said that because of my quads that I was in a good place for my recovery process, but that I should still take it slow with my leg because it is still prone to injury.  The important part of recovery is building muscles around the hip, hamstring and quads.  Building muscle around the quads is important because it is the main muscle, however the hip and hamstrings are both support muscles so building those muscles will help to take some of the burden on the area around the knee.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

If I was going to do a 10 question interview I would ask my current therapist, because she has a vast amount of experience with injuries related to the knee.  She currently has several patients that have an ACL tear so I know that she knows a lot about how to treat ACL tears.
