Lindsay Burton
2. Introduction
During the summer between my
junior and senior year at Clemson
University, I was fortunate
enough to complete an internship
of 180 hours at Excel Rehab and
Sports.This internship provided
the opportunity to obtain many
hours of observation, a chance to
interact and learn from the
therapists and patients, and
confirmation that this is the field
that I wish to pursue.
3. Excel Facilities
Excel Rehab and Sports has 3 locations in the area. Each of the
facilities seem to draw a different population
Seneca
Patients mainly consisting of an older population
Easley
Majority of the patients are of the working class or high school students
Clemson
Patient base includes a large amount of college students/athletes and
university faculty
I had the opportunity to intern at the newest of the three facilities
located in Seneca
This outpatient clinic consists of physical, occupational, and hand
therapy
5. Mission Statement
“Patients and their families know
quality care when they experience it.
It’s a result of great people and skills,
and Excel has both…There is a
difference.”
6. Goals of Excel
Provide quality care to patients in order to reach both the
goals of the therapists and the patient
Educate patients so they are able to complete their home
exercise program in order to continue their progress
To be flexible and accommodating to help as many people as
possible
Keep up with their continued education to ensure the best
treatment for their patients
Create a professional and enjoyable environment
7. Roles and Duties
• Observing and absorbing as much knowledge as possible
• Interacting with patients
• Assisting with PT aide responsibilities
8. Observation and Interaction
Although there are legal issues prohibiting students from
taking patients through exercises, it was vital to still learn
everything I could from observing the work of the therapists
Asking about initial diagnosis of the patient
Following up with the plan of care to address the condition
Inquiring about the purpose of exercises
Interaction with patients
Talking with patients about their history, injuries, and goals
provided a perspective that can not be taught otherwise
Learning what cues patients respond to and different
mechanisms of explanation
9. Clinical Aide Duties
Bringing back patients and getting them started on warm-up
equipment
Includes: NuStep, SciFit, treadmill, elliptical, and stationary bike.
This machine, the NuStep,
provides a warm-up for patients
that focuses on extension.
The SciFit bike allows the patient to
complete their warm-up while
emphasizing leg flexion.
10. Clinical Aide Duties
• Wiping down equipment
and tables after use
• Retrieving and setting up
ice packs and heat packs
for patients
• Ice packs are mainly used after
the completion of the exercises in
order to reduce inflammation
• Heat is often used either before
or after visits in order to relax and
reduce tension in the injured area
11. Clinical Aide Duties
Setting up exercises according to the guidelines of the
therapists
Setting up: ankle weights, resistance bands and cords,
stretches, balancing exercises, leg press shuttle
13. Patient Initial Evaluations
Having the opportunity to sit in on initial
evaluations of new patients was a
rewarding experience
Receive patient medical history
Ability to follow the patient’s
progression from day 1
Developed a stronger connection with
patients due to knowing what individual
goals they are striving for
See the variety of notes and
measurements taken initially to
determine the treatment plan of action
Introduction to S.O.A.P notes
Goniometers are
used during initial
evaluations and
following visits in
order to measure
and track progress
of range of motion
14. Dry Needling
Dry needling is a new alternative method of treatment that
releases tension in muscles and promotes natural healing by
creating lesions in your muscles
I was fortunate to be a part of a clinic where two of the
physical therapists were certified in this upcoming treatment
While I was there, I observed needling in the neck, back, legs,
shoulders and face to treat a variety of issues
15. PT Graduate Student Perspective
During the last few weeks of my internship I was fortunate
enough to have the chance to work with a PT graduate
student from University ofTennessee at Chattanooga
Acted as a mentor from a different stage of the pathway
Advice on applying to PT schools, what to look for in schools,
and what to expect in the first year
Explained anatomical information and reasoning behind the
mechanics of exercises from a students perspective
16. Interesting Cases
The opportunity to interact with a plethora of
patients with a wide variety of conditions
Lumbarization – a congenital abnormality in
which the S1 vertebrae acts as a L6 vertebrae
rather than being fused to the rest of the sacrum
Type C Niemann-Pick disease-
Fatal genetic mutation that prevents the
metabolism of cholesterol and other lipids
Only 500 worldwide documented cases
Compartment syndrome
Swelling or bleeding within the compartment of
muscle, nerves and blood vessels
Compartment syndrome in shin
17. Projects:
Case Study Report
I chose to do my case study on a patient with osteoarthritis of her lumbar
spine, and severe nerve tension of her femoral and sciatic nerve
This patient appealed to me because her diagnosis was something out of
the ordinary from many of the patients I had seen
Hearing her goals of wanting to be able to keep up with her family when
they traveled made her transform from a collection of conditions to a
patient I was anxious to help
18. Projects:
Public Health Determinants Paper
This paper consists of three parts:
Social determinants that affect the care of patients
Healthy Places
Employment and decent work
Organizational Behavior and Governance
Impact of the scheduling of one patient every 30 minutes at Excel
Rehab & Sports
Pre-professional Concentration question
Importance of professionalism with interaction of both patients and
one’s surrounding health care team
19. Conclusion
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to intern at
Excel Rehab and Sports. Based on the relationships built and
the knowledge gained, I would say the internship was
nothing less than a success. I am very eager for the future,
when I have my own patients and am able to help them treat
their conditions and get them back to the activities that
make their lives complete. Hopefully one day, I will have the
opportunity to have interns of my own who I can create a
lasting effect on.
