Common protocols after a player's injury typically include immediate assessment, first aid, and follow-up evaluation. Initial assessments focus on identifying the nature and severity of the injury. Medical professionals may apply first aid to mitigate further damage and address pain. Following the immediate response, a comprehensive evaluation often involves advanced imaging or testing to confirm diagnosis and treatment plans. Rehabilitation protocols are then designed, emphasizing recovery timelines, strength training, and gradual return to play, preserving the athlete's health and future performance capabilities.
