A patient came in with a years long on and off knee pain. He is a 15 year old boy. I felt comfortable taking a Subjective and objective history of thos patient because i already knew him quite well. it made me be able to concentrate exactly what i wanted to ask and what i wanted to assess without as much nervous of not knowing the patient.
i thought i did well with this assessment both subjective and objective. it came down to being a lateral placed patella due to weak VMO and tight ITB. he also had Decreased calf endurance which reduced shock absorption within his feet.
we gave him a HEP to improve VMO function, DTM of lateral structures and Medial patella glides with taping to hold it in correct positioning.
i think i treated this patient well and i think now if i do a few more assessments on people i know i will build my confidence up and this will help with the flow of my assessments for all patients.
