Clinician Clearance Gate
Clinician clearance gates are required milestones—exams or tests—before advancing rehab stages instead of self-clearing when pain briefly eases.
A clinician clearance gate is an explicit milestone—exam, imaging, or functional test—before advancing rehab stage or returning to contact sport. Self-clearance because pain eased one morning causes most re-injuries.
Gates differ for fractures, ligament repairs, and concussions. Bring Ohga logs of pain, load, and adherence to appointments.
Common questions
-
Is feeling good enough to skip a clearance visit?
No for high-risk injuries—function tests catch deficits you cannot feel; one pain-free day is not structural readiness.
