Knee Special Tests Made Simple
from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker
Do you ever feel you are just going through the motions when assessing the knee... And completing special tests even though you can not really reason why you are doing them? This is really common for new grads, and largely not your fault, as you are just following the method you were taught at Uni. But... This method of doing things is the quickest way to the wrong patient diagnosis and maybe even worse than that... An angry and frustrated patient, that just wants a diagnosis and wants you to stop doing unnecessary tests with their knee that make their knee pain worse! Find out why most new grads get it wrong with their knee special testing... And what you need to do instead to nail your diagnosis and keep your patient happy (and out of pain)! Enjoy the show! PS. I'd love to hear what you think of the podcast. Please leave a review or even better, share the podcast with any physio you think it could help! PPS. As well as links to all my previous podcasts I have loads more FREE to access learning resources on my website. Head here to access them right now... www.newgradphysio.com
