Case #77 - Julie Marley
Case #77 - Julie Marley
In case #77 I'm joined by Ms. Julie Marley of Wilmington, Delaware USA. She presents a 59 year old female complaining of shoulder pain and inability to raise her arm. Julie gives a thorough explanation of how she uses the funnel method of ruling out different classifications and how she uses the patients report of symptom behavior to identify the likely location of origin of the pain. These and many more insights. (1hr 14min 20sec)
More in depth discussions are included in this case such as:
what we might hear from patients that hint that it’ll take a lot of reps or very few in the repeated movement exam to identify a directional preference
some variations of cervical retraction Julie has used to ensure end range
some simple communication practices with patients which can make an important impact on their buy in
her views on what to do if a patient brings up an additional body part - squeeze it in or set up for a later, separate appointment
a simple question to ask your patient at the end of your exam to improve your patient’s satisfaction
