Zachary Prater, MS, LAT, ATC

Zachary is an industrial Athletic Trainer for Pivot Onsite Innovations, contracted at Frito-Lay in Frankfort, IN. I have been an AT for almost 2 years, with experience primarily in non-traditional settings. I graduated from Franklin College, during which I was fortunate enough to be an Intern for Rehabworks @ Kennedy Space Center. I enjoy studying and educating on Injury Prevention because I believe it can have the greatest impact on our day-to day life, even if never recognized by ourselves or others. It is a thankless field of study, but crucial to living safe and healthy lives. I enjoy camping, training my German Shepard pup-Apollo, and reading old medical texts. I am a self acknowledged nerd and love learning.

  • Workplace Injury Prevention and Follow Up Care: Giving ATs More Room To Move
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Developing an injury prevention program can lead to increased ergonomic awareness within workers. The current literature isn’t definitive on the effectiveness of pre-shift stretching alone to reduce work-related injuries, but developing a holistic prevention program can address the needs of both the worksite and clients to improve client outcomes and improve patient satisfaction. This session will give ATs working in all settings that utilize workers’ compensation the tools to develop a standardized program to prevent work-related injuries, and then use that program to provide subsequent follow-up care within the operational standards of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
