1. The idea of increasing participation

2. With this, inevitable increase in sports injuries specifically knee injuries

3. No way of preventing injuries

4. Therefore understanding the long term impact of knee injuries on is important

5. literature on muscle activity

6. increase? decrease ?

Meeting with Andy - Questions, problems, solutions

# data[].attributes.body
First draft of intro was too much like an essay, almost story telling.
Reminder to prioritise direction on what this study will be on
E.g. current literature, whats missing, what there is
Much more happy with where its going

# data[].attributes.body
Feeling like I am running out of things to say
Yet feel confident

Is the direction good ?
Previous findings presented well ?
Enough said ?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Study design

2. Participants

3. Instruments

4. Injury questionnaire

5. HUMAC set-up

6. EMG set-up

7. Testing

8. Data Processing and Statistical Analyses

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am unaware of the specifics for the HUMAC used for the leg extension

2. Not sure of the specifics for the EMG equipment used

3. Unsure if I should include a study design

4. Unsure of placements for EMG collection on the vastus medialis and lateralis

1. Andy helped me find the exact company the HUMAC is from and what model the HUMAC is which helped me add more detail to my HUMAC set-up section.

2. Andy helped me solve the issue of specifics with the EMG equipment with giving me usual papers and pointers. This helped me describe areas properly such as interlelectrode distance which was 20mm

3. After going over my methods section Andy said to keep it exxacrtly how it was with the study design just that we needed this detail we talked about.

4. Andy also helped me with finding the website to use and reference for my electrode placement on the vastus medialis and lateralis  - SENIAM.org.

# data[].attributes.body
Data Collection overall went very well.

Andy helped me through the first 2

Afterwards I was able to perform the tests, using all equipment correctly, with a few questions here and there when I needed help.

Dont forget to ask them to bring shorts !!!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Injury characteristics

2. Vastus Medialis Data

3. Vastus Lateralis Data

4. Past pain + impairment

5. Current pain + impairment

6. Figures

7. Tables

# data[].attributes.body
1. Is it best to use Pearsons correlation co-efficient for the past pain + impairment data.

2. Is it best to involve the normality test results in the results section as previous studies dont seem to.

3. Are graphs all ok ? Do I need a marker on the graph that is significant

4. In correlate table, should I keep it how it looks or ?

1. Andy helped me understand that pearsons correlation co-efficient was the best methods of analysing the relationships between decrease in muscle activity and the other factors.

2. We came to the conclusion that including the normality test results has no harm, and should be done.

3. All the graphs were ok, some questioning about graph titles were concerned by Andy, however MMU recommend no titles. A significance marker was added to the Vastus Medialis graph

4. We removed all the N rows in the table as they all were the same value = 8

# data[].attributes.body
1. Summary of findings

2. Interpretation

3. Comparing to literature

4. Implications

5. Evaluation eg limitations

6. Conclusion

7. Recommendations

1. How to lay it all out

2. Word count - may be under ?

2023 - September - MSC Pre-Reg Physio at MMU !

# data[].attributes.body
My main goal is to join Altius Healthcare.

I have been able to do 2 years of work experience now with them, and found them after getting treatment there myself. The owner Doug, and his colleague Sam Hatton now know me very well. We have discussed the fact of me doing Msc Pre-reg physio and they are interested in me joining them if I complete the course and achieve a high grade.

# data[].attributes.body
However, I know I must prepare with other options, as Altius could very easily hire someone before I finish my masters. I would happily go into the NHS straight away, joining a physiotherapy department somewhere in the northwest.

Honestly I need to look more into the NHS as nothing is ever guaranteed, specifically into how to apply and things I can be doing in the meantime to make myself a more desirable employee.
