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.

📖Case study📚

This is an example of a return to contact graded exposure protocol I use in my other life in professional rugby.

Nathan had a grade 5 ACJ separation, which needed surgery to repair.

Targets for returning to contact:
-no swelling and pain, achieved after 3 weeks
-full ROM, achieved after 2 weeks
-80% strength right-left (6rm DB bench and DB row, external rotation at neutral and 90, and internal rotation), achieved after 6 weeks
-ASH test 80% of non injured arm (measure of maximal and rate of force development away from the body) achieved after 8 weeks.

The drills shown are only a few examples of what we did to get them game ready, but they demonstrate a key principle in all rehab programs- graded exposure.
