History








Present history
What is the problem?

If so, what?
History

Present history

With one finger, point to the exact
location of the injury:
Proximal, Distal, Superior, Inferior,
Medial, Lateral, Anterior, Posterior, RUQ,
RLQ, LUQ, LLQ, Midline
History

Present history
Pain Type:
Nerve
– Sharp, bright, burning

Muscle
– Dull, aching, referred to another area

Bone
– Localized and piercing

Vascular
– Poorly localized, aching, referred from
another area
History

Present history
Pain Location:
Deep
– more difficult to match the pain with the site
of trauma, may cause treatment to be
performed at the wrong site

Superficial
– better elicited pain corresponding with the
site of pain stimulation
History

Present history
Does the pain change at different times?
Chronic inflammation
– indicated by pain that usually subsides
during activity

Edema
– pain that increases in a joint throughout the
day
History

Present history
Does the athlete feel a sensation other
than pain?
Pressure on nerve roots can produce
pain or a sensation of “pins and needles”
(paresthesia)
History




Present history
If the injury is related to a joint:
Is there stability?
Does it feel if it will give way?
Does it lock and unlock?
Positive responses may indicate the joint
has a loose body catching or inhibiting
the normal musculature support in the
area
History

Present history

Acute
– immediate

Chronic
– over an extended period of time

Instructions to the athlete
Athlete & evaluator must sign the
document

The unconscious athlete must always be
considered to have a life-threatening
injury, which requires an immediate
primary survey.
THE PRIMARY SURVEY





The athletic trainer should immediately note the body
position and determine the level of consciousness and
unresponsiveness.
Airway, breathing, and circulation should be
established immediately.
Injury to the neck and spine should always be
considered as a possibility in the unconscious athlete.
If the athlete is wearing a helmet, it should never be
removed until neck and spine have been clearly ruled
out. However, the face mask must be cut away and
removed to allow for CPR.
If the athlete is supine and not breathing, airway,
breathing, and circulation should be established
immediately.
THE PRIMARY SURVEY





If the athlete is supine and breathing, nothing should
be done until consciousness returns.
If the athlete is prone and not breathing, he or she
should be log-rolled carefully to the supine position
and ABCs should be established immediately.
If the athlete is prone and breathing, nothing should
be done until consciousness returns, then the athlete
should be carefully log rolled onto a spine board
because CPR could be necessary at any time.
Life support for the unconscious athlete should be
monitored and maintained until emergency medical
personnel arrive.
Once the athlete is stabilized, the athletic trainer
should begin a secondary survey.

Make sure that 9-1-1 or the workplace emergency
number has been called
Continue to monitor the victim’s airway, breathing, and
circulation (ABCs)
Control any external bleeding
Keep the victim from getting chilled or overheated
Help the victim rest comfortably. If the victim is not
having trouble breathing or if it is not expected that
the victim has a head, neck, or back injury or broken
bones in the hips or legs, elevate the legs about 12
inches

medical personnel arrive and take over
