Western 2011-12
Western now uses an electronic Health History Evaluation (e-PPE) questionnaire prior to your actual pre- participation physical to assess health and injury history prior to participation in sport. This document is to help orient you to the questionnaire.
Overview
Identifying risk factors that predispose an athlete to injuries or illnesses is the fundamental purpose of the
e-PPE. Medical experts are convinced that a detailed, comprehensive and validated PPE can assist in over all management of the athlete discovering previously undetected potential medical problems that pose a risk to the competitive athlete.
How does the e-PPE work?
The e-PPE is an internet based, comprehensive and detailed risk-assessment questionnaire that each student athlete completes. All UWO Athletes must complete this questionnaire. If the Athlete has any concerns our Sport Medicine Physicians are more than happy to help.
