You will launch your shoulder rehabilitation project by defining the real-world challenge, identifying the athlete end users your plan should support, and generating focused inquiry questions that guide later research, testing, and design decisions.

You will investigate shoulder anatomy, collect and analyze your own movement and habit data, study biomechanical exercise options, and use expert and peer feedback to build an evidence-based explanation of the problem and a defensible rehab direction.

You will turn your research and baseline evidence into a draft shoulder rehab solution, test your ideas against exemplars and peer feedback, and document how your 7-week plan begins to take shape.

You will implement one focused test of your shoulder rehab prototype, collect evidence from that trial, and document what the results show about safety, effectiveness, and next-step revisions.

You will present the story of your shoulder rehabilitation project by showing your evidence, explaining how your plan changed through testing and feedback, and naming your next steps as a student physical therapist.
