Document Summary

Field assessment is a concise assessment used to get general idea of how bad it is and how we are going to remove them. Sideline assessment is a more in-depth, routine protocol- what we are doing today! Must understand why you are doing it, and what it is telling you. Includes statements provided by the patient on their symptoms. From this history, you develop your assessment plan/strategy. Symptom- organic manifestation which only the patient is aware of. Examination (what we feel): observable physical phenomenon indicative of a conditions presence. Start observing as they walk into the clinic: watch how they walk over. Quality of movement (speed, smooth, amount) different from side to side. Dr. james cyriax developed a method for locating and identifying a lesion by applying tension selectively to each of the structures that might produce pain. Cyriax"s theory: when tension is applied to an injured tissue it will give rise to pain.
