Assessing Shoulder Injuries in American Football

Assessment Techniques

Palpation Under Shoulder Pads: Slide hands inside shoulder padding to feel shoulder joint for bony landmarks, dislocations, or fractures.

Stabilization: Have a team member stabilize the joint while others prepare to remove equipment, minimizing player discomfort.

Torso Assessment

Under Chest Plate: Slide hands under the chest plate of shoulder pads to palpate the chest or sternum for assessment purposes.
