for seven days. They sat at the same treatment table and had the same equipment used everyday. The athlete did not have to worry about someone else treating him, and I didn’t have to worry about another athletic trainer taking the wrong measurements or giving a treatment in the wrong sequence. Limitations of the Study There were many limitations of this study, the main one being the small sample size. In any given athletic season there are many injuries that can occur, and generally sprains and strains are the major injuries that occur. This fall, however, that was not the case. Should I decide to do a study of this nature again, I would lengthen the study time to a full year so that I would have a better chance of getting some significant results. Another limitation would be that we did not withhold anyone from athletic activity while they were in the study. This could have been a reason why the swelling measurements were not affected as much as the pain measurements. The question that begs to be asked is why is swelling affected negatively and pain positively? Pain is a direct response to the amount of swelling that is in the area. If the swelling is increased, then why would pain not be increased as well? This is a question that needs further research to be answered. It was not in the scope of this study to find. Another limitation was that I did not take into account was the fact that not all of the athletes incurred the same severity of injury. This, I feel, played a part in the larger decrease in pain in the experimental group. This may have been due to the fact that a more severe injury was in the experimental group and therefore a higher pain number was noted on day one. 29PDF Image | Light Therapy on Pain and Swelling vs Collegiate Athletes
