Concussion research
to also be covered
Northeastern Junior
College will be offering a special class for those who are engaged in athletic
training or sports medicine activities with teams of all kinds. An Athletic
Taping Techniques and Concussion Research class will be held on Tuesday, June 11
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This class is approved by the Colorado High School
Athletic Association (CHSAA).
Those who take this
class will learn new ways to or improve their current athletic taping skills.
The class will cover the most common athletic taping mistakes and provide
correct alternatives. Class content will also include a review of the most
up-to-date research on concussions. Answers will be provided regarding how to
identify and treat concussions; when it is appropriate to refer the athlete to
medical personal and when it is safe for an athlete to return to play.
Participants are
asked to bring two rolls of athletic pre-wrap and 10 roles of athletic tape.
Multiple taping exercises will be done in class in a very hands-on training
atmosphere. The instructor for this class is Kari Mueller. The cost of the half
credit class is $73.39. Those who want to participate in this daylong class
should register to attend by Thursday, June 6th by calling
521-6900.
