The information collected from this survey will determine
multiple things. It will help us to better understand what types of injuries
are common among what age groups and what levels of physical activity those age
groups are involved in. This will help physical therapists to better understand

This will also help them to better advise patients on what type of physical
activity they should be doing during the week. Sometimes too much of the wrong
type of physical activity can be harmful to one’s healing muscles or bones that
are recovering from injuries. Physical therapists should know their patients’
health and injury history in order to better assess their physical therapy
needs.
