ADDITIONAL SPECIAL TEST The special tests performed at this phase should be used to further differentiate between pathological and normal tissue suspect to be pathological based on the findings

several types of special tests . Joint stability tests integrity of the inert joint tissues, specifically the joint capsule and ligaments (ex:ant drawer test) Joint compression test inert joint tissues that line the joint surface, such as the articular cartilage and meniscus (McMurray’s) anthropometric assessments (general body structure/ body composition assessment)

Neurological testing unexplained loss of strength, paresthesia, or numbness, or has sustained an injury to the vertebral region sensory (dermatomes) motor (myotomes), reflex (deep tendon, superficial, and pathological reflexes)

spinal nerve roots and peripheral nerves Other cranial nerve assessment, neuropsychological assessment (cognitive ability cerebellar function (coordinated movements: finger to nose)

Dermatome testing. innervated by a specific nerve root bilateral comparison sharp and dull discrimination, hot and cold discrimination, and two-point discrimination to assess peripheral nerve injury

Dermatome testing.

Myotome testing.

Reflex testing. deep tendon reflexes, superficial reflexes, pathological reflexes

deep tendon reflexes

Superficial reflexes Upper abdominal Lower abdominal cremasteric, plantar, gluteal. Anal reflexes

Pathological reflexes Upper motor neuron Lower motor neuron

Neurological test finding nerve root compression, nerve root stretch, motor neuron lesion

Functional SCREENING tests Part of the preparticipation physical examination Trainer observe movement

Overhead and single leg squat tests

Landing error scoring system

Tuck jump test

Functional movement screen bridge the gap between preparticipation exams and performance testing /fundamental movement Deep squat Hurdle step In-line lunge Shoulder mobility test Active straight-leg raise Trunk stability pushup Rotary stability test

Setting Rehabilitation Goals Rehabilitation goals should be included as part of the treatment plan in the SOAP note The rehabilitation goals should be based upon the information gathered during the evaluation and should address signs and symptoms recorded in the SOAP note

Short-Term Goals Decrease swelling by 30 percent within 4 days Increase active range of motion by 50 percent within 1 week Progress to full weight bearing during walking gait within 1 week Reduce acute pain by 50 percent within 4 days Increase eversion ankle strength by 50 percent in 4 days Increase plantar flexion ankle strength by 50 percent in 4 days

Long-Term Goals Return to limited practice using protective tape support within 2 weeks Return to full practice using protective tape support within 2.5 weeks Return to full competition using protective taping within 3 weeks

Progress Evaluations The progress evaluation should be based on the athletic trainer's knowledge of exactly what is occurring in the healing process at any given time To ensure that the progress evaluation will be complete. it is still necessary to go through certain aspects of history, observation, palpation, and special testing

History How is the pain today, compared to yesterday? Is the patient able to move better and with less pain? Does the patient feel that the treatment done yesterday helped or made him sorer?

Observation How is the swelling today? More or less than yesterday? Is the patient able to move better today? Is the patient still guarding and protecting the injury? How is the patient's attitude—upbeat and optimistic, or depressed and negative?

Palpation Does the swelling have a different consistency today, and has the swelling pattern changed? Is the injured structure still as tender to touch? Is there any deformity present today that was not as obvious yesterday?

Special Tests Does ligamentous stress testing cause as much pain, or has assessment of the grade of instability changed? How does a manual muscle test compare with yesterday? Has either active or passive range of motion changed? Does accessory movement appear to be limited? Can the patient perform a specific functional test better today than yesterday?

Progress Notes SOAP format in the form of an expanded treatment note, or may be done as a weekly summary types of treatment short-term goals the course of treatment over the next several days
