| Question |
Answer |
| On-Field Primary Survey |
Establish LOC, Check ABC's, Assume Spinal Injury if you did not witness MOI, Check for and control Severe Bleeding |
| On-Field Secondary Survey |
History-MOI, Location, Severity, Shock Assessment, Musculoskeletal Screen |
| Musculoskeletal Screen |
Bilateral Comparison for Deformities, Neurological Assessment if Spinal Injury Suspected. Palpate for Fractures and Dislocations. Test for Neurovascular Compromise. Assess ROM. |
| Subjetive Assessment |
Used to form Hypothesis about nature and extent of injury. History(meds, allergies, familial)Observation |
| Objective Assessment |
Special Test to establish severity and nature of injury. Comparable sign: Reproduction of the athlete's symptoms. Bilateral Comparison |
| History |
Current and previous Injuries. Onset, type, and location of Pain. Unusual Sounds or Sensations |
| Observation |
Clues from facial expressions. General posture. Guarding. Visual inspection(swelling, deformity, bilateral comparison) |
| Palpation |
Reveals info regarding: tension, thickness, texture of soft tissue. Deformity, swelling, temp, moiosture, pulse, muscle fasciculations, crepitus and pt. tenderness. General contours of bony and soft tissue. Use a systematic approach. |
| Basic Assessment |
History, observation, palpation, ROM, strength, special tests, neurovascular test, functional tests. |
| SINS |
Severity-Indicates need for referral. Irritablility-Relates to the stage and extent of injury, injured structures, and pain tolerance. Nature-Type of injury and type of structures involved. Stage-Acute(7-10 days), subacute(4-6 wks), chronic(6-8 wks) |
| SOAP |
Subjective-Chief complaint, MOI, reported S&S. Objective-Reproducable measurements and observations. Assessment-Impression of the Injury. Plan-Immediate treatment and referral plans |
