Program set
In an effort to reduce the number
of sports related injuries, Lake-
Lehman School District and Nesbitt
Memorial Hospital have once again
combined to offer a comprehensive
sports screening program to Lake-
Lehman athletes.
Under the direction of Jeffrey
Pace, director of sports medicine,
screenings will be conducted
throughout the year for members of
the school’s 15 sports teams begin-
ning with the football team.
The program, which was initiated
at Lake-Lehman in 1980, is designed
as a preventive health measure for
all students participating in boys’
basketball, football, baseball, vol-
leyball, track, cross country, wres-
tling and tennis and girls’ softball,
basketball, volleyball, field hockey,
track, cross country and tennis.
All screening procedures are per-
formed at Nesbitt’s Back Mountain
Outpatient Satellite Center, Route
118, Lehman-Dallas, and include
posture evaluation, neurological and
sensation examinations, a range of
motion and flexibility examination,
lower extremity symmetry and
strength testing and cardiovascular
endurance with the Harvard Step
Test.
In addition, an evaluation unit
known as Cybex provides a com-
puter readout which presents one’s
strengths and weaknesses for the
various muscle groups tested and
determines the need for further
medical evaluation.
