Other Considerations Considerations for Return to Activity
Sideline Suggestions R.I.C.E.

 Return to Activity

  • NO point tenderness (point tenderness is where an individual can "pinpoint" where something hurts)
  • Full Passive Range of Motion (someone else can move an extremity through its normal motion)
  • Full Active Range of Motion (the individual can move an extremity through its normal motion)
  • Full Resistive Range of Motion (the individual can move an extremity through its normal motion against some resistance)
  • NO obvious coloration or discoloration (redness, bruising, etc.)
  • NO obvious deformity (Swelling, "Gooseggs", etc.)
  • If a minor, get parents permission if there is a question. Let the parents make the decision whenever possible.
