Musculoskeletal assessment
Musculoskeletal assessment is a targeting tool used to discover the cause of a patient's individual symptoms. It can be used to assemble an accurate and detailed diagnosis which is essential for later pain-free daily life.
Consultation- This is the way in which we inquire in detail about the patient’s complaints and lifestyle. In this way we can establish an accurate medical history. If the patient has earlier findings from other medical examinations of their health conditions, such as the analysis of scanning images from examinations (e.g., MRI, X Ray, etc) these can assist with providing us with the basic understandings necessary to develop the proper therapy ( it is important that the patient brings those documents to our consultation).
The position test- This is executed in underwear/ lingerie and covers the whole body of the patient to discover lesions. Examining the pain affected areas only would not result the proper therapy. Why do we use this test? It is conceivable that, let say by example, that pain in the right knee could be caused by asymmetric loading of the spine or scoliosis. In the future therapy should concentrate not only on the knee but rather also on the spine to eliminate the asymmetric structures around it.
