injury assessment
Checking the wound
Injury assessment is the systematic evaluation of physical harm to determine its nature, severity, and treatment needs.
In sports medicine and emergency care, it typically involves examining the injury site, testing range of motion, and checking for signs of serious damage: The trainer performed a quick injury assessment before deciding whether to call for a stretcher.
The term also applies to insurance and legal contexts where documented evaluation determines compensation.
