Today was a very interesting day. I couldn’t take too  many photos since I am not allowed to take photos with patients in it.

First, I took a short tour around Raleigh Orthopedics, which is connected to Athletic Lab. I wish I could have learned more about their partnership with Athletic Lab. I spent all day  watching Mr. Meszler work with patients to recover from a variety of injuries. One patient has been recovering from ACL surgery that he had 6 months ago. Today the patient got tested to see how much he progressed over the past few months. I could tell right away which knee he was trying to strengthen because of the huge disparity in ability during each exercise. It was interesting to see all of the different jumps and exercises Mr. Meszler had the patient do in order to access his progress.

Today wasn’t the most exciting day because I wasn’t able to help out with the patients. I just had to sit back and watch all day. I am hoping I can do more interactive activities as I increase my knowledge throughout the next few days.

The only thing I did beside watching the patients was cleaning a table off after each patient left.
