Project

__ Senior Seminar Initial Proposal __ By Chasity Crenshaw


 * My driving Question is “What are the connections between sports and Scoliosis?”
 * The story behind this project is that I my self have Scoliosis. This summer I started to play tennis and I began to realize that playing sports helped with the back pain that came with the Scoliosis. I want to do this project to see if sports can be consider as a from of rehab.
 * What I want to do is: I want to do like a tennis event and cook out. With the money raised from that I wanted to give it to a foundation that researches Scoliosis.
 * Possible areas of Research are to research about Scoliosis and the different treatments, to research about the different sports, to research about the different muscles that are affected by the sports. Ect..
 * The best Source that I have found is “Scoliosis and Spinal Deformities: A guide for Patients. www.youngwomens health.org/scoliosis-article.html. This web site has given me what Scoliosis is, how is treated, what are cause4s of Scoliosis, ect.
 * I anticipate that this project will be time consuming and I will have to do a lot of research, networking, and use my time wisely to accomplish what I need to make my project a success.
 * My mentor will listen to me and help me with a way to put all the research that I found together and be there to support me. My topic expert can help me by giving me helpful information that may cut down the amount of research I have to do. And can also help me with the networking because they will know how to talk to.
 * The problems that I foresee happening could be that I may find that sports are not a form of Rehab,
