Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is SALTAPS used for?

    Model answer

    SALTAPS is an on-field routine for assessing a sporting injury. SALTAPS stands for see, ask, look, touch, active, passive and strength.

  2. 2

    What happens in the 'see' and 'ask' stages of SALTAPS?

    Model answer

    The assessor watches how the injury happened, then asks the performer where it hurts and what they felt. The answers indicate the likely injury.

  3. 3

    What does the assessor do in the 'look' and 'touch' stages of SALTAPS?

    Model answer

    The assessor looks for swelling, bruising or deformity. The assessor then gently touches the area to find tenderness, heat or a painful point.

  4. 4

    What is the difference between the 'active' and 'passive' stages of SALTAPS?

    Model answer

    The active stage has the performer move the injured part unaided. The passive stage has the assessor move the injured part gently through its range.

  5. 5

    What happens in the 'strength' stage of SALTAPS?

    Model answer

    The performer tries to move against resistance or bear weight on the injured part. The performer returns to play only if the movement is pain-free.

  6. 6

    What should happen if a performer fails any stage of SALTAPS?

    Model answer

    The assessment stops and the performer is removed from play. The performer should then receive appropriate treatment.
