Moi: were you able to continue, how did/does it feel, previous injury, objective, signs observable physical phenomenon indicative of a conditions presence, subjective > observation > arom/prom > resisted movements > neuro. Sensation/reflex > special tests > palpation (all o except subjective: observation, expression and demeanor (pain, tired, angry, posture, obvious deformity/asymmetry, swelling, redness, quality of movement (speed, smooth, amount, analysis/assessment, plan/program. Theory of selective tissue tension: dr. james cyriax developed a method for locating and identifying a lesion by applying tension selectively to each of the structures that might produce pain, tissues classified as either contractile or inert. Inert: ligaments, bursa, capsules, fascia, nerve roots, dura mater, contractile, muscle, tendons, tenoperiosteal insertion, cyriax"s theory: when tension is applied to an injured tissue, it will give rise to pain, contractile tissue. Increases in tension when the tissue is both contracted or stretched: active motion in one direction and passive motion in the opposite.
