| The athletic trainer plays a unique and important role in
the health care system of the 90's preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating sports injuries. In this role, the athletic trainer can help the physically active avoid unnecessary medical treatment and disruption of normal daily activities. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied health care profession. Specifically, the athletic trainer specializes in five practice areas or domains: Prevention of athletic injuries Recognition, evaluation and immediate care of athletic injuries Rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries Health care administration Education and counseling As part of a complete health care team, the athletic trainer works under the direction of a licensed physician and in cooperation with other health care workers, athletic administrators, coaches and parents. The athletic trainer gets to know each person individually and can therefore treat the injury appropriately. |
