History & Interview
The patient really wants you to know this.
What is Chief Complaint?
This type of collagen is primarily found in Muscle/tendons.
What is Type 1 collagen?
A positive neural tension test suggests this tissue specific finding.
What is an irritation or compression of the LMN?
These are treatment goals for the acute/early sub acute phase.
What is reduce muscle swelling/guarding and pain?
This is a role of differential diagnosis.
What is to determine whether a complaint is of musculoskeletal origin?
What is to determine if the patient is appropriate for PT?
The patient wants to do these activities.
What are Goals?
In muscle/tendon injury, AROM and PROM are related in this way.
What is AROM/PROM have pain/limitation in OPPOSITE directions in Muscle/Tendon injury?
Perform these tests to examine a peripheral nerve/LMN testing.
What are dermatome, myotome, reflex, and Neural tension testing?
This prescription defines vascular exercise.
What is 50% of the 1 RM for 31+reps or minutes without fatigue or increased pain?
These are 4 examples of RED flags.
What are: unwarranted general fatigue, constitutional symptoms, altered vital signs, fever/night sweats, uncontrolled weight loss, new neurological signs, first/worst headache?
These 3 ICF categories describe the patient's function.
What are: Body/structure Impairment, Activity Limitation, and Participation Limitation?
If MSTT is strong and painful, the clinician should suspect this condition and modify this portion of their examination.
What is suspect tendinopathy and hold MMT?
This(these) clinical finding(s) differentiate an irritated nerve from a compressed nerve.
What is decreased light touch, decreased reflexes, and possibly decreased strength?
These are the goals for the late subacute/chronic phase of treatment.
What are build coordination/endurance (postural muscles) and endurance/strength (prime mover muscles)?
These are 2 examples of Yellow Flags.
What are: inconsistent findings, abnormal pain behavior, psychological disorders, or poor general health?
This type of historical information is gained from the subjective initial evaluation.
What is medical, social, and family history?
This type of collagen is found primarily in the cartilage and is tested with this assessment.
What is type II collagen and with compression/palpation?
These characterizes describe an upper motor neuron lesion.
What is hypertonic reflexes in acute conditions, decreased myotomes/dermatomes, and possible positive Babinski, Supinator, Hoffman's signs?
This prescription addresses strength of a prime mover/phasic muscle addressed in the chronic phase of treatment.
What is 80% 1 RM, 8-12 reps, every 2 days and functional exercise?
These are 3 common musculoskeletal findings.
What are: MOI, aggs/eases, can reproduce symptoms in the clinic, palpate area of complaint, symptoms improve with several treatments?
The patient describes their symptoms using these characteristics.
What are Onset, location, aggs/eases, SINSS?
If PROM and AROM are limited in the same direction & the end feel is abnormal, this tissue(s) is/are suspected in the injury.
What is the capsule or the ligament?
The screening test appropriate for all patients/clients.
What are VITALS?
This prescription would build POWER in a prime mover in the chronic phase of recovery.
What is 90% 1 RM, 4-6 reps, every 3 days, functional/plyometric exercise?
This type of bias occurs when a clinician only uses evidence/tests that support their point of view.
What is confirmation bias?
