Assessment Insight? Why didn't we pull this player off the pitch.
Numbness sounds bad, it's an alarming sensation for any athlete. But during this assessment against Worcester, the clinical picture showed something different.
✅️ Full motor control
✅️ no alarming mechanism
✅️ Stable joints
✅️ Normal blood flow
✅️ No sensation
If the function is there and the safety risk is low, we play on. This is a perfect example of how the body's alarm system can be 'loud' without there being structural damage.
