HISTORY-TAKING: ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT!!
As in all areas of medicine, a comprehensive history is the vital first step to correct diagnosis of an injury.
Many sport-related injuries are complex in nature and the treating practitioner will need the skills to obtain as much information as possible.
Description of current symptoms- pain (site, nature, severity, irritability, referral, associated symptoms), stiffness, mechanical symptoms (locking, giving way, weakness, crepitus or clicking), neurological symptoms.
Aggravating and relieving factors.
Level of sport played. Personal “goals” of the subject.
Description of onset of symptoms – acute or insidious.
What was the exact mechanism of injury? (as much detail as possible)
Was the onset trauma-related?
![Page 4: Clinical Examination Paul Thawley BSC (Hons) MSc (Sports Medicine) Pg Dip (Rehabilitation) Clinical teaching fellow UCL](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e035503460f94aedc4e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Was the injured subject able to continue exercising or play on?
If lower limb, could the subject weight bear? – if not, for how long?
Were there any associated symptoms? e.g. numbness, “pins and needles”
Did the injured area swell? – If yes, was the swelling immediate or delayed and, if so, for how long?
What was the playing surface?
What equipment or footwear was being used?
Past history of injury details.
Exclude “red flags”
Check for relevant family history
Training regimen - document any alterations in type, surfaces used, intensity or volume.
Details of any treatment received and from whom?

All Joint examinations require clinical reasoning and a methodical approach(Higgs and Jones 2000, Edwards et al 2004).
Hypo-deductive reasoning model

![Page 11: Clinical Examination Paul Thawley BSC (Hons) MSc (Sports Medicine) Pg Dip (Rehabilitation) Clinical teaching fellow UCL](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e035503460f94aedc4e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Functional movements:Anterior / posterior kinetic chain control, pelvic stability, is tested in functional testing at the end of your examination. Use common sense
![Page 12: Clinical Examination Paul Thawley BSC (Hons) MSc (Sports Medicine) Pg Dip (Rehabilitation) Clinical teaching fellow UCL](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e035503460f94aedc4e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sports Specificity:Test aggravating factors movements specific to the athletes sport. Use Common sense
![Page 13: Clinical Examination Paul Thawley BSC (Hons) MSc (Sports Medicine) Pg Dip (Rehabilitation) Clinical teaching fellow UCL](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e035503460f94aedc4e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Range of motion
Active range of motion: flexion/extension/internal rotation/external rotation.
Passive range of motion:flexion/extension/internal rotation/external rotation + overpressure can be added to all of these ranges to elicit clinical signs.
Terminal flexion / extension control (?WB)Closed packed to 10 degrees flexion + - rotation (?WB)
