Clincal Examination
-
History
-
Pain
- When, where, character, iradiation, aleviation, worsening, position
-
Dysfunction
- What can you no longer do?
- Deformity
-
Exam according to Alan Graham Apley
-
Look
- Skin
- bruises, wounds = recent inury
- Rubor, tumor, calor, dolor = inflammation
- loss of sweating = nerve damage
- scars = archeology of superficial injury
- Soft Tissue
- tumor, calor rubor, dolor = inflammation
- wasting = disuse and nerve damage
- Bone
- Deformity - unusual angles or joings held in unusual positions
-
Feel
- Skin
- Temperature
- Cold = vascular damage
- Warm = inflammation
- Sensation
- pain and temperature
- vibration and tactile
- Soft Tissue
- Tenderness
- subcutaneous fat
- bursae
- muscle
- tendon
- nerve
- artery
- ligaments
- Lumps and effusions
- "SWELLING"
- Start
- trauma
- acute
- chronic
- Where
- anatomical site
- tissue site-skin, fat, muscle?
- does it move in relation to these?
- External features
- Size
- Surface
- Margins
- Lymph nodes
- local adenopathy?
- Liquid
- transillumination
- Internal features
- is it tender?
- is it soft or hard?
- Auscultate
- Thrill
- Bruit
- Crepitus?
- General
- Other lumps and general health?
- Distal circulation
- Peripheral pulses
- feel for pulse elsewhere at the same time
- Cappillary filling
- Bone
- bone outlines and joint margins should both be felt
- tenderness
- steps
- lumps
- Decide what structures are tender, swollen, wasted, displaced, is there sensation, circulation
-
Move
- Active
- Patient moves joints on his own withing his/her limits of pain
- Passive
- Watch the patient's face for grimace
- Stability
- Dynamic
- Provided by muscle power
- this is done against resistance - try to figure out the muscle group, nerve supply, nerve roots
- Static
- Provided by ligaments and intact joint surfaces
- Joint should be gently stretched in each direction of ligament control while watching for grimace

Lower limb and gait examination
- Ask Pt to walk and observe gait for any limping
- "LIMPS"
