Read the case carefully. Which aspects of the expectations for patient assessment and diagnosis did Jordan miss? Select all that apply. Some options describe things Jordan did correctly.
Jordan, a physiotherapist in private practice, sees Sam, a 45-year-old with three weeks of right knee pain that began after a long hike.
Jordan takes a detailed history: onset, aggravating and easing factors, previous injuries, and past medical history. Nothing in the history suggests a serious or non-musculoskeletal cause.
Jordan watches Sam walk into the treatment room and notes a slight limp, but performs no further physical testing.
Based on the history, Jordan tells Sam, “You have patellofemoral pain syndrome.”
Sam asks what the treatment will involve. Jordan replies, “Let’s just get started,” and begins soft tissue release.
Jordan charts “Knee feels better after treatment” and books a follow-up visit.
As Sam leaves, Jordan says, “You’ll be back to hiking in two weeks.”
