In this class, I’ll talk about the clinical reasoning involved in PT, which includes a part related to complex system approach; followed by risk profile determination and grade of recommendation regarding prevention and rehabilitation.

Learning Points

• Analyze interactions between factors to identify your athlete's PROFILE (for PT risk)
• Apply the assessment’s results on your prevention program (targeting PT)!
• Implement interventions to increase the capability of the athlete (and tendon) to deal with load.
• Future steps: Explore different levels/areas (including load)
• Consider the evidence and your clinical reasoning on decision-making regarding PT
• Consider the kinetic chain and optimize the capacity of the tendon and the MSK system
• Update and analyze critically the information that you might receive!
