History, Impression, Pressure, Strength tests
Health, Inspection, Palpation, Stability tests
History, Inspection, Pulse, Sensation tests
When inspecting an injured joint, where else should you check for comparison?
Only the same side limb
Only the distal segment
Above, below, and the opposite side
Only the painful area
What do AROM, PROM, and RROM stand for in range-of-motion testing?
Acute, post, recovery motion
Ankle, plantar, rotary motion
Active, passive, resistive motion
Abduct, pronate, rotate motion
How is resistive range of motion typically measured during assessment?

In the PEACE & LOVE approach, what does the letter P stand for immediately after an injury?
Protection of injured tissues
Pulse monitoring schedule
Proprioception enhancement drills
Pressure to immobilize fully
Within PEACE, what is the purpose of Elevation for an acute ankle sprain?
Increase warmth for faster healing
Reduce swelling by raising the foot
Maintain joint range of motion
Improve muscle activation patterns
According to PEACE, why should anti‑inflammatories be avoided early after injury?
They may impair natural healing processes
They always cause severe allergic reactions
They increase bone density temporarily
They reduce pain too slowly for athletes
In the LOVE phase, what does Load emphasize during recovery from an ankle sprain?
Continuous bracing without movement
Complete rest until pain is gone
Immediate high‑intensity training
Gradual return to normal activities
Which component of LOVE encourages maintaining a positive mindset during rehab?
Oscillation for lymph drainage
Optimism to support recovery
Orthotics for foot alignment
Oxygenation through deep breathing
