GOALS

� Promote the health and safety of the

athlete in training and competition

� More Standardized Approach =

Provide a tool to facilitate care of the

athlete and set the stage for data

collection leading to future changes

based off of outcomes data.

� Effectiveness

� Identify diseases or processes that

will affect student athletes

� Sensitive and Accurate

� Practical and Affordable

FACTS ABOUT PPES

� Goal is not to exclude

participation

� 0.3% - 1.3% of athletes

are denied clearance to

participate

� 3.2% - 13.9% require

further evaluation

� 75% of medical and

orthopedic conditions are

detected by history alone

Just a Thought: If 100% of

SAs pass physical without

any further evaluation was

your physical detailed

enough?

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF PPE

� Screen for Life-Threatening Conditions

� Screen for Conditions that May Predispose to

Injury or Illness

� Of Athletes, 66% believed that the PPE was not

absolutely necessary to participate safely in

sports

� 90% believed that the PPE could prevent injury

Just a Thought: What do we do during the PPE that

could assist in preventing injury?

5/26/2013

ASK JEROME HARRISON

� Jerome Harrison’s failed physical turned up a brain tumor

� The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions agreed to a trade

on Tuesday that would've sent Harrison to Philadelphia. A day

later, however, the trade was voided when Harrison did not

pass a physical.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

� Determine Good Health

� Society for Adolescent Medicine: 5 -10% of adolescents have a chronic condition that requires ongoing care / monitoring

� Asthma, Anemia, ADD, ADHD, Apena,

� Serve as an Entry Pointing in Healthcare

� PPE is not intended to replace routine medical exams

� 1/3 of student athletes indicate that the PPE is their only contact with healthcare system

� Consequently follow-up becomes a critical component of PPE

� Provide an Opportunity for Discussion on Health and Lifestyle

� 70% of adolescents express more desire for additional information: risk behaviors, substance use, sexuality, weight, diet,

� Many times not possible in a station to station exam.

FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS

� American Academy of Pediatrics: Recommends

Annual Screening of Athletes from age 6 to 21

� PPE Consensus: Recommends PPE performed

every 2 years in “younger” student athletes and

every 2 to 3 years on “older athletes with

intermittent “Annual Updates”

� Annual Updates: Comprehensive History

Questionnaire and a problem-focused exam of

red flags

5/26/2013

COMPLICATIONS OF ANNUAL PPES

ON ALL STUDENT ATHLETES

� Man Power

� Timing of Getting All PPEs done and follow-ups prior to start of activity (Thus 6 Week Recommendation When Possible)

� Possible Solution: Provide PPEs on All Returning Student Athletes at End of Previous Year (i.e. Spring)

� Could also serve as an exit physical on those that don’t return.

� Potentially eliminates 2/3 of PPEs that would need to be done at start of school.

TIPS TO IMPROVE COORDINATED

MEDICAL TEAM APPROACH TO

PPE

� Preparation

� Early and Accurate Information

� Privacy

� Counseling / Discussion of Sensitive Issues

� Continuity of Care

� Referrals

� Protocol for Referral

� Financial Responsibility???

� Disqualification

� Typically Require Further Evaluation at Time of PPE

voluntary or involuntary reasons, it is the

responsibility and right of the student athlete to

report for exit physical

� Team physician has final authority over all medical

clearance processes

� In the event that additional test are warranted for

participation, financial responsibility falls upon the

student athlete and / or their health insurance

PURPOSES OF PREDICTIVE

programs.

� Improve performance while minimizing risk

INJURY PREVENTION

� High-force collisions make football injuries inevitable,

but some portion may be prevented

� Very little high-quality research evidence is available to

guide injury prevention

� Rapid fatigue of the core musculature may relate to

poor neuromuscular control of the core & LE joints

� Pre-season screening procedures can identify

individual players who have modifiable injury risk

EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO INJURY

KEEP IT SIMPLE

� Disability Survey

� Wall Sit

� Exposures

� Logistics

� Performed Multiple

Time Per Year

� PPE, Prior to “Off-

Season” and Prior to

End of School

� Note: This only identifies

athletes at high risk of

injury, once identified a

corrective exercise

program would need to be

developed and executed.

WHAT IF I WANTED TO

PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT?

� Do you keep track of injuries and exposures?

� Electronic Database

� Are you interested in reducing injuries to student athletes?

� Can you add a ODI questionnaire to your PPE?

� Can you add a single leg wall sit to your PPE?

� Note: We will perform the statistical analysis to determine risk.
