Case #60 - Bob Robinson


Case #60 - Bob Robinson
In case #60 I'm joined by Mr. Bob Robinson of New Bern, North Carolina USA. He's a diplomat in MDT and a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. He shares a patient who one of his staff was seeing and after 3 visits making little to no progress. Bob offers a number of useful suggestions and advise related to history-taking, physical exam and treatment. Issues such as exhausting the sagittal plane, getting to end range, proper education and many more are addressed. (1hr 5min 59sec)
Among many other take-home messages you’ll hear from Bob deeper discussion into:
How to stay with the process when answers aren’t found in the sagittal plane
the art of stacking questions, as Bob explains, and how experience and improving skills of interviewing helps us get answers from our patients
considerations when patients mention they have been diagnosed with ostepenia or osteoporosis
how we can interpret when the patient reports their pain has been on the opposite side in past episodes
other tests which might identify neural tension beside the supine straight leg raise
a cue that may mean you’d be wise to have the patient come in for a follow-up visit at a specific time of day
thoughts and recent updates on the value of deep tendon reflexes
specific considerations related to the rotation in flexion procedure,
and much more!
