Clinical Examination and Diagnosis
Clinical examination and diagnosis in athletic training and rehabilitation involve assessing an athlete's physical condition to identify any injuries or health issues. This process includes taking a detailed history of the athlete's symptoms, performing physical tests to evaluate strength, flexibility, and range of motion, and often using diagnostic tools like imaging scans. Based on these findings, a qualified professional formulates a diagnosis and creates a tailored rehabilitation plan, aiming to restore the athlete's function and prevent future injuries, ensuring they can safely return to their sport.
