Top Tips To A Better Subjective Assessment

On the face of it the subjective assessment looks easy. You ask your patient a series of simple questions... They respond... And this gives you a fair idea about what is going on with your patient... Then you use your objective assessment to test this out and rule in or rule out this hypothesis. Sound about right? If only it was that easy! This is what you were told at University is meant to happen... But the reality is, real-life patients simply do not act like the textbooks and lecturers said they would! Most new grads think they do a good job of the subjective assessment, but most make some simple, yet critical errors... That cause them to make the wrong diagnosis and focus on the wrong patient problems. In this week's podcast episode I will give you two top tips that will help you with your subjective assessment... So you can clearly make sense of your patients symptoms... And have the confidence to give your patient the correct diagnosis... Even as a young and inexperienced physio. Enjoy the show! PS.
