practicing or warming up for athletic activity in any way. If he was “warm” then I would start the research the next day before his athletic activity began. The athlete was then asked to ice the injured area for 15 minutes with an ice bag. Girth measurements were taken once the athlete had finished icing. The ankle measurement was a figure 8 measurement going around the following points: tibalis anterior tendon, navicular, base of the fifth metatarsal, medial malleolus, and the lateral malleolus. A permanent black marker was used to place marks at each of these locations and those to follow. The girth measurements for the calf were taken by first measuring the distance between the middle of the medial malleolus to the tibial tuberosity. Once that distance was found, I drew marks on the tibia at one-quarter, one-half, and three- quarters distance on the tibia. The girth measurements for the knee were taken by first getting a measurement from the distal pole of the patella to the proximal pole of the patella. A mark was made at the distal pole, middle of the patella and the proximal pole of the patella. The girth measurements for the thigh were taken by first measuring the athlete from the superior pole of the patella to the anterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis. Once this measurement was taken a mark was made at the one-quarter, one-half, and three-quarters lengths. The same measuring tape was used on every athlete every day for the measurements taken at all of these locations and each athlete was instructed to wash the area, but not scrub. Each mark was refreshed daily. All measurements were made in centimeters. The athlete was then asked to rate his pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) 0-10, 0 representing absolutely no pain and 10 representing the worst pain possible. 19
