13/11/09 - Kiera Kinch Tutorial - Knee Examination
It wasn't until Keira Kinch gave us a tutorial that I really appreciated how observation is the first key step to assessment. When a fellow student was asked to perform a knee examination to the rest of the tutorial group. She did as I would ... stand the patient up and look at their knees etc and then get them straight onto the table to perform a passive examination.
When the tutor repeated the examination she look at the patient in greater detail and got the patient to do active movements. She asked the patient to engage their quads whilst standing to see how the patella tracks and she asked the patient to do squats to see how the different muscle groups engaged.
24/02/10 - Knee examinations were okay, could not explain which bursae were for which conditions need to revise those.
