Injury Risk Screening Assessment Tools

• Running Assessment ​
• Swimming Assessment

Important Note

The injury screening tools were created by systematically searching for all prospective cohort studies on the respective sport. The tools should only be used by qualified healthcare professionals. Furthermore, they should never be used in place of a typical orthopaedic assessment.

The screening tools themselves have NOT been validated. In order to validate these screening tools, studies must be conducted to determine the following:

1. A relationship between the screening tool and injury risk
2. The test properties must be validated in relevant populations
3. An intervention program given to targeted athletes should be more beneficial than the same intervention given to all athletes.
