learn more about how atu ENHANCES student learning

A question recently landed in our inbox from a faculty member, sparked by a student inquiry within the Orthopaedics app. The student, curious and eager to learn, posed the question: Are associated impairments and movement faults the same thing? Let's delve deeper and untangle the cause-and-effect relationship between associated impairments and movement faults. In the realm of orthopaedics, pinpointing the root cause of a patient's limitations is crucial for effective treatment. Our Orthopaedics app tackles this by differentiating these two key concepts.

Associated Impairment:

• Definition: An associated impairment is a measurable limitation in a physiological system, such as weakness, stiffness, or balance deficits. 

• Think of it as: A consequence of the injury/pathology or a preexisting impairment or set of impairments that may be contributing to the cause or maintenance of non-optimal movements, leading to tissue stress and production of symptoms. It's the "what" - the measurable dysfunction.

• Example: A patient with a knee ligament injury might demonstrate quadriceps weakness (associated impairment) on a strength test, or a patient with uncoordinated or weak scapular muscles contributing to the onset of shoulder impingement during shoulder abduction during a tennis serve.

Movement Fault:

• Definition: A movement fault is an observable deviation from optimal movement patterns during functional activities. 

• Think of it as:  A faulty "how" - the way the body compensates for the impairment or moves as a result of impairments. This could be due to pain avoidance, limitations in mobility or improper movement coordination.

• Example: A patient with a weak gluteus medius might exhibit adduction of the femur and excessive valgus collapse (inward knee buckling) during squats. These movement faults may result in significant tissue stress over time, resulting in patient complaints of pain and loss of function.

Squat with femoral internal rotation and corrections

The Chicken 🐔 or the Egg 🥚?

The question of which comes first - the impairment or the fault - is often complex. Here's a breakdown:

• Injury often leads to impairment: The initial injury (e.g., ligament tear) directly causes the impairment (e.g., quad weakness).

• Impairment can lead to faulty movement: To compensate for the weakness, the patient might adopt a faulty squat pattern (movement fault).

Importance of the Distinction:

Understanding the difference is critical for treatment planning:

• Addressing impairments: Techniques like strengthening exercises can target the quad weakness (impairment).

• Correcting faulty movement: Movement re-education can address the faulty femoral adduction squat pattern (movement fault).

By effectively differentiating between associated impairments and movement faults, your students can develop a more holistic approach to patient care.

Bonus Tip: The Orthopaedics app can be a valuable tool for students to practice identifying these concepts in real-world scenarios.

In athletic training education, Miller's Pyramid of Clinical Competence (1990) offers valuable insights for nurturing students' clinical reasoning skills. This pyramid outlines four sequential levels of competence: knows, knows how, shows how, and does. These levels progress from theoretical knowledge to practical application and ultimately to autonomous clinical practice.

Here's a look at Miller's Pyramid and how it can be applied in athletic training education:

• Knows (Knowledge): This is the foundation of the pyramid, encompassing the factual knowledge base for understanding mechanisms of injury, diagnostic procedures, and treatment modalities commonly encountered in athletic training practice. For example, knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.

• Knows How (Competence): Here, students develop the ability to apply their knowledge to solve problems. This involves using clinical scenarios, case studies, simulations, and problem-based learning exercises.

• Shows How (Performance):  Next, students demonstrate their competence in simulated settings. Learning experiences like practicing techniques in a lab or role-playing patient interactions are appropriate at this stage.

• Does (Action): The pinnacle involves applying knowledge and skills in real-world situations during supervised clinical experiences. Clinical experiences provide students with opportunities to assess, diagnose, and treat injuries under the guidance of preceptors. Students become proficient and autonomous practitioners capable of making sound clinical judgments independently.

Pyramid graphic from Ramani, S., & Leinster, S. (2008). AMEE Guide no. 34: teaching in the clinical environment. Medical Teacher, 30(4), 347–364.

How to use Miller's Pyramid of Clinical Competence with ATu to foster clinical reasoning:

• Build the “Knows” level through video-based lectures/handouts and assess factual recall through MicroLearning.

• Elevate students to “Knows How” with Case Studies and other problem-solving activities.

• Allow students to “Show” their knowledge through clinical simulations found in MiniSIMS using standardized patients.

• Provide the crucial “Does” experience through MacroSIMS to augment students’ supervised clinical experiences.

By integrating Miller's Pyramid into athletic training education, educators can create structured learning experiences that gradually build students' clinical reasoning skills from foundational knowledge (“Knows”) to advanced clinical practice (“Does”). This structured approach fosters a deep understanding of clinical concepts and prepares students to excel as competent and confident athletic trainers.
