There are two parts in this assignment.
Part 1: New Wave Therapy
New Wave Therapy is an office of physical therapists which tracks its patients using a spreadsheet. The office wants to upgrade to using a relational database. You have been tasked with this conversion, and need to convert this flat field design into a relational database design.
New Wave Therapy has given you its current spreadsheet design, which contains the following fields (columns).
Â
The office has also given you the following business rules, which are incomplete and are not all necessarily structural.
Â
Â
1. To get started, create a complete list of business rules that you will use as a basis for your logical diagram. Your list of business rules should specify all entities, relationships, optionality constraints, and plurality constraints, and must make provision for the data and business rules given to you by the New Wave Therapy office. There are many solutions that will correctly make provision for the given data and business rules.

2. Now create a logical entity-relationship diagram (ERD) that illustrates the relational database design described by the business rules in #1. Â All entities should be normalized to BCNF. Recall that logical ERDs contain SQL-based constraints on the attributes, including primary and foreign key constraints.
Â
Part 2: Disorders
The following incomplete list of business rules describe the relationships between some of the different types of disorders to the human body.
1.     Thoracic disorders can be hernias, spine injuries, or neither.
2.     Musculoskeletal disorders and gastrointestinal disorders are all disorders, but not all disorders are musculoskeletal or gastrointestinal.
3.     Knee disorders are patellar dislocations, knee dislocations, Plica syndrome, or none of these.
4.     Structural gastrointestinal disorders can be diverticulosis, colitis, or neither.
5.     Gastrointestinal disorders must be either functional gastrointestinal disorders or structural gastrointestinal disorders.
6.     Thoracic disorders and knee disorders are musculoskeletal disorders.
7.     Constipation and irratible bowel syndrome are functional gastrointestinal disorders.
All relationships described in these rules are specialization-generalization relationships. These rules also reflect the entities and relationships that exist in the real-world.
1. Create a complete list of business rules that are consistent with the incomplete list given above. Try to order the rules logically, either starting at the bottom of the hierarchy working upward, or from the top of the hierarchy working downward. This list should make provision for all entities and relationships given in the above list, and there are many solutions that do so.
2. Develop an extended entity-relationship diagram (EERD) that illustrates the relational database design described by the business rules in #1. The diagram should include the primary key of each table in order to demonstrate correct implementation of specialization-generalization. While EERDs may well contain other attributes, in this assignment you need not include them because they are not described in the business rules. You should use legal database identifiers such as Thoracic_disorder or Colitis in your EERD.

Your submission will be evaluated according to the following grading rubric.
