Seeing real-life case studies can be a great way to practice your assessment skills.
Here you can ‘see’ a patient, review their assessment findings and clinically reason what you would do in the same situation...
All without having the pressure of having the patient stood there right in front of you in your clinic room!
So even if you get it wrong the first time, you will see (and learn) what you need to do instead…
If you are faced with a real patient with a similar symptoms in the future.
Listen to a knee case study this week’s podcast episode.
Note down the assessment findings and then have a go at answering these questions…
What else might you include in your objective assessment to help you identify the correct patient diagnosis?
What do you think could be a possible diagnosis for the medial knee pain this patient is complaining of?
Enjoy the show!

PS. This is the exact case study (and questions) I posed to members of my New Grad Physio Membership earlier this week.
