TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Another Look at the Sports Preparticipation Examination of the Adolescent Athlete JO - Journal of Aolescent Health Care A1 - Dyment, PG SP - 130S EP - 132S VL - 7 IS - 6 Suppl N2 - The sports preparticipation examination can be worthwhile if the musculoskeletal system is examined carefully, with particular regard for the residual disabilities from previous injuries; this can be accomplished in a two-minute orthopedic examination done in addition to the usual physical examination. As many as 10% of young people may have abnormalities such as patellofemoral syndrome, incompletely rehabilitated ankle sprains, or tight hamstring muscles, which may result in further injury unless a rehabilitation exercise program is instituted.
