Key Points on Knee Pain Assessment

When assessing knee pain patients, observing their movement and functional range is crucial for initial insights into severity and interpretation of pain. Subjective history focusing on mechanisms of injury helps differentiate cases, like trauma in younger versus gradual progression in older patients. Pre-medical history, aggravating factors, and social context play a significant role in considering differential diagnoses and red flags.
