SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITYUNDERGRADUATE
ATHLETIC TRAINING EDUCATION PROGRAM CLINICAL EDUCATION MODULES
The Undergraduate Athletic Training Education Program at San Jose State University requires a series of clinical experiences consisting of competencies and proficiencies. Competencies and proficiencies will be obtained through a number of experiences in the classroom, lab, and clinical/internship setting. This manual is divided into 4 sections related to internship courses: 197A, 197B, 197C and 197D. In order to complete the Athletic Training Education Program, each student will need to have each competency evaluated in all 4 sections of this manual. Approved Clinical Instructors (ACI) are the only individuals who can evaluate competence in each skill. Skill evaluation will include practice in labs, demonstration of competence and either an experience in the field or a scenario. Students are responsible to spend time outside classroom and internship experiences to ensure skill competence.
Students may advance through the manual at their own rate. Successful practice and then competence of each task must be demonstrated prior to skill performance in the clinical setting. Demonstration of skill performance should coincide with course completion. In order to progress through the internship process (197A to 197B, etc.) students must complete the required (labeled REQUIRED) skills in each section. Although it is preferred that students complete all proficiencies for each course, it is understood that some field/scenario proficiencies may be difficult to obtain. Thus, students have 4 semesters (197A, 197B, 197C and 197D) to complete these sections of the proficiencies.
Progress to program completion requires that all evaluations be completed by Approved Clinical Instructors (ACI) and recorded by the program director as an exit requirement.
DEFINITIONS:
Practice: Skill taught in class or lab and practiced either 1-on-1 with an ACI or peer, or in small peer groups.
Competence: Student demonstration of skill proficiency in an oral practical setting. This may occur in class, lab or internship classroom with an ACI.
Field/Scenario Competence: Demonstration of skill proficiency in a field setting or during internship classroom through a scenario oral practical with an ACI only.
Required: Proficiencies labeled required must be completed during the specified internship course (i.e. 197A, 197B, 197C and 197D) in order to receive a grade and progress to the next course.
NR: Proficiencies labeled NR required completion by the end of KIN 197D in order to receive signature for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. It is strongly recommended that students complete these during the specified internship course (i.e. 197A, 197B, 197C and 197D), but it is not required to receive a grade and progress to the next course.

Cervical TractionAll skills must be viewed, dated and initialed. Peers can evaluate Practice elements, while an ACI must evaluate Competence and Field/Scenario elements.
REQUIREDCompetency Practice Competence Field/Scenario
Set-up and Application 1. Establish that no contraindications are
present by questioning the patient. 2. Determine the patient’s weight. 3. The cervical musculature may be pretreated
with moist heat to decrease muscle spasm. 4. Instruct the patient to remove any earrings,
glasses, or other clothing that may interfere with the placement of the halter.
5. Lay the patient on the treatment table in the supine position.
6. Place a pillow or two under the patient’s knees.
7. Position the unit so that the line of pull is aligned with the midline of the body (i.e., so that the head is not laterally flexed).
8. Secure the halter to the cervical region according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Normally the pressure points are the occipital processes and, to a lesser degree, the chin.
9. Connect the halter to the spreader bar.
10. Align the unit so that the angle of pull places the cervical spine in approximately 25 degrees of flexion.
11. Remove any slack in the pulley cable.12. Reset all controls to zero and turn unit on.13. Adjust the RATIO to the appropriate on-off
sequence, normally a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio.14. Adjust the TENSION to approximately 10
percent of the person’s body weight. If this is the patient’s first exposure to intermittent cervical traction, or if the person is displaying apprehension about the treatment, the TENSION can be initiated at its lowest value.
78
REQUIREDCompetency Practice Competence Field/Scenario
15. Instruct the patient as to what to expect during the treatment and to inform you if any discomfort is experienced. Explain that the force of the pull is felt at the occiput and not at the chin.
16. Set the appropriate treatment DURATION, and initiate the treatment.
17. Allow the unit to cycle through its first
tension cycle. The TENSION maybe gradually increased during subsequent cycles. If pain is experienced at any time during the treatment, decrease the amount of force or discontinue the treatment.
