Screening and Assessments are big business ventures for coaches and therapists. How do you know if the information is helping? How does the evaluation flow right into actionable measures? The most important lesson I learned was about what units of measurements to acquire. Arbitrary numbers are good starting points but it’s best to use the numbers that you collected without interpretation. Integers are summaries, and it’s best to use degrees, time, and forces when possible. I don’t know what is the best screen, as I like the what Dr. Grant has done with assembling conventional tests that are valid and making them more digestible and less interpretive. The Real-Time Assessment and Neuromuscular Training Feedback Techniques to Prevent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Female Athletes article represents a great leap forward to truly understanding assessment.
