The sports clinician faces multiple treatment options when dealing with overload injuries, and it is important to evaluate their outcomes. Multiple scores exist, some clincian rated (CRO), others patient rated (PRO), the latter being currently favoured. This review presents some of these scores and we selected the ones we feel are the most appropriate for a sports clinician. We considered these common problems: tennis elbow, rotator cuff issues, groin pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome, achilles tendinopathy and ankle instability. In addition, an activity level score is useful to weigh the result in the context of return to performance. These scores help to create a common language between therapists and to evaluate treatments objectively.
