So uou have done the subjective, the pmh the OPQRSTUV and if it makes notice to require inquiry of the constituitional synptoms then we inquire.
And then if it indicates a need to prod more about a specific system, them we will look into a specific system more, and if it ipdoes not hint at a need for a specific visceral system then it is the realm of PT, and if they complained about the T6 and up then wea re interested in performing an upper quadrant screen, but if we are seeing that the dysfunction is from T6 and down, then we do a lower quadrant screen.
These screens are all the issues that can arrive and affect the body for its specific quadrant, and there are neuro, muscular, osteo, integumentary, balance, which is an offshoot of neuro,
