Manual therapy student handbook : musculoskeletal diagnosis – a pragmatic model of clinical reasoning - part 4

Hatcher, JO

Abstract

This article is the forth in a series from our Manual Therapy Student Handbook (See the ‘Contents panel’ for further details) and takes the reader step-by-step through the process of clinical reasoning and how it aids the identification of the tissue that is the source of the patient’s problems. Combined with a knowledge of common clinical conditions, this process allows the therapist to predict a diagnosis, to direct appropriate treatment at the source of symptoms, and helps in the creation of relevant rehabilitation processes for restoring full functional capacity.
