Injury Screening is essential for any professional sports team and elite athletes and typically takes place during pre-season or when returning form injury at a sports injury clinic. It helps medical teams and coaching staff identify injuries, assess fitness levels, predict return to play times and evaluate the performance potential of a player.
A comprehensive screening protocol should be tailored to the needs of individual athletes and their sport and should include an evaluation of strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, agility and cardiovascular endurance.
