Case 66 - Helen Clare
Case 66 - Helen Clare
In case #66 we’re joined by Dr. Helen Clare of Sydney Australia who presents a 58 year old female patient of her’s who complained of persisting lower thoracic pain. She offers plenty of insights into the interpretation of the patient’s complaints, how her physical exam is conducted slightly differently because of something eluded to in the history, reasons she needed to change her mechanical diagnosis mid-episode and some good reference to relevant literature. A great case from a veteran clinician in case 66! (56min, 10sec)
Helen elaborates on many topics in Case 66 including:
what it may mean when a patient complains of pain with deep breathing
some specific radiographic information related to compression fracture
the essential information that Helen focuses on obtaining on each follow-up visit
how crucial keen observation of posture and movement is and how it helps in determination of classification and the proper load
