Term
Types of Assessments
Definition
1. Pre-parcipitation
2. On-the-field assessment
3. Off-field evaluation
4. Injury Progress Evaluation
Term
Pre-pacipitation
Definition
Done prior to the start of the season
Term
On-the-field Assessment
Definition
Looking at LOC and managing lief and non-life-threatening injuries.
Term
Off-field Evaluation
Definition
Performed on the sideline or Clinic/ATR
Term
Injury Progress Evaluation
Definition
Performed before each rehabilitation session
Term
Knowledge Requirements
Definition
Anatomy
Abdomino-pelvic Quadrants
MusculoSkeletal Anatomy
Standard Terminology
Biomechanics
Pathomechanics
Understanding the Sport
Different Diagnosis
Term
Components
Definition
HOPS
Term
H
Definition
History:
Obtain subjective information relative to how the injury occurred and the extent of the injury

-Ask ?'s: who what where when how
-Pain Characteristics: sharp, dull, achy
-Joint Response: loose, tight, gives out, locks
-Chronic VS Acute (Time Frame)
Term
O
Definition
Observation: DDS

Deformity
Discoloration
Swelling
Term
P
Definition
Palpation:
Systematic: bony & soft tissue
Term
S
Definition
Special Tests:
Inert VS Contractile tissue integrity

- used to detect pathologies
-injuries to contractile tissue: pain w/ active motion in one direction, and passive in opposite directions
-injuries to inert tissue will elict pain on active and passive motions in the SAME direction
Term
Assessment Process
Definition
-AROM
-PROM
-Assessing for limitation in movement and presence of pain
-Goniometric Measurements measure Joint ROM
-RROM: aka MMT
-MMT
-Neurological examination
-Reflex Testing
-Testing Joint Stability
-Testing Accessory Motions
-Testing Functional Performances
-Postural Examination
-Anthropometric Measurements
-Volumetric Measurements
Term
AROM
Definition
Active ROM:
Assesses the quality of movement through different ranges and planes at varying speeds and strengths.

normal- pain free throughout full range
Term
PROM
Definition
Passive ROM

-Classify feel of end range "feels"
-Removes tissue from the equation
Term
Assessing for limitations in movement and presence of pain
Definition
Standards:
1. pain before end of the range (acute inflammation)
2. pain at the end of the range (subacute injury)
3. no pain at the end of the range (chronic injury)
Term
RROM aka MMT
Definition
Resisted ROM aka Manual Muscle Testing
1. Evaluate the status of contractile tissue
2. Isometric contraction at mid-range
3. Different grading systems used to identify severity

Normal (SPL) strong/painless
Strain (SPF) strong/painful
Rapture (WPF) weak/painful
Neuro (WPL) weak/painless
Term
MMT
Definition
Manual Muscle Testing
1. Used to determine extent of injury to contractile tissue
2. Muscle action resisted throughout full ROM
Term
Neurological Examination
Definition
5 Major Areas:

1. Cerebral Functioning - assesses general affect
2. Cranial Nerve Function - assesses head/facial nerves
3. Cerebella Function - Coordinated Movement
4. Sensory Testing - Assesses nerve roots
5. Motor Testing - assesses motor neurons
Term
Reflex Testing
Definition
Reflex Referes to involuntary response to a stimulus

3 types of Reflex Testing
1. Deep Tendon
2. Superficial
3. Pathological
Term
Testing Joint Stability
Definition
A number of special tests are used to test stability for each specific joint
Term
Testing Accessory Motions
Definition
The manner in which one articular surface moves relative to another
Term
Testing Functional Performance
Definition
- Used to determine athletes readiness to participate or continue parcipitation

- Used for progress evaluation during rehab
Term
Postural Examination
Definition
Used to look at asymmetries by comparing the body relative to a grid
Term
Anthropometric Measurements
Definition
Includes skin-fold measurements, height and weight, and measurements of limb girth
Term
Volumetric Measurements
Definition
Used to determine the changes in limb volume caused by swelling which can be attributed to hemorrhaging, edma, or inflammation
Term
Documenting Injury Evaluation Information
Definition
- Complete and accurate documentation is critical : they must be concise, clear, and accurate
- SOAP note format
Term
SOAP
Definition
Subjective
Objective
Assessment
Plan
Term
S
Definition
Subjective;

Term
O
Definition
Objective:
Findings based on ATC's evaluation
Term
A
Definition
Assessment:
ATC's professional opinion regarding impression of injury
Term
P
Definition
Plan:
Includes first aid treatment, referral info, goals(short and long term), and plan of treatment
Term
Diagnostic Test
Definition
X-ray
MRI
