It is well established in the scientific literature that even mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBIs) affect balance; for this reason, tasks involving balance and coordination are commonly used to determine neurological function in sports-related concussion. 

The scale defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics, such as the size of the breasts, genitals, testicular volume and development of pubic hair. The complex series of biologic transitions are known as puberty, and these changes may impact psychosocial factors

 Accurate ECG interpretation in athletes requires adequate training and an attention to detail to distinguish physiological ECG findings from abnormal ECG findings that might indicate the presence of cardiac pathology. The international consensus standards presented on ECG interpretation and the evaluation of ECG abnormalities serve as an important foundation for improving the quality of cardiovascular care of athletes.

Preseason SCAT5 baseline testing can be useful for interpreting post-injury test scores. 

Strength testing can provide crucial insight into a person's functional abilities and assist in rehabilitation if injured. 

Blood Pressure, HR, Pulse OX are all taken bilaterally along with the temperature. The blood pressure is taken with Omron equipment in a seated position to stay consistent with AMA guidelines. 

This testing is done using a digital hearing test that examines baseline hearing unilaterally, bilaterally, as well as sound to noise ratio. Includes Otoscopic exam with pictures.  

Not only is the vision screened for appropriate referral but the pupil sizes are digitally measured and assist with baseline concussion comparison. 

Postural Assessment is a guide to determining muscular or fascial imbalance and whether that imbalance contributes to a patient's pain or dysfunction.

This is performed in order to examine the 'external auditory canal' – the tunnel that leads from the outer ear (pinna) to the eardrum.  Inspection of the eardrum can also provide a lot of information about what's happening within the middle ear – the space within the skull where the hearing and balance mechanisms are situated. 

The retina is the only portion of the central nervous system visible from the exterior. Likewise the fundus is the only location where vasculature can be visualized.  The fundoscopic exam can discover pathological processes otherwise invisible. The data can also be used to stage both diabetes and hypertension.  

Assessment of sport-specific movement demands thorough musculoskeletal screening and functional performance testing. This is essential for rehabilitation professionals. 

Physical activity leads to adaptive changes in lung function.  There is a need for specific consideration of different respiratory ‘pattern’ development in different types of sport.
