Study Flashcards
The recognition of a disease or condition by its outward signs and symptoms.
The analysis of the underlying physiological/biochemical causes of a disease or condition.
Dianosis
Prediction of how a patient’s disease will progress, and whether there is a chance of recovery.
Prognosis
Refers to the history or the diagnosis, the natural progression of the disease, and how different treatments (or no treatments) effect the outcome of the disease.
Natural history (of a diagnosis)
HIPPIRONNA
History Inspection Palpation Percussion Instrumentation Range of motion Orthopaedic testing Neurological testing Non organic findings Ancillary studies
Mesodermal tissues that differentiate into connective tissue, bone, cartilage, smooth muscle and circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Mesenchyme.
Objective measure of patients ability/willingness to move a body part.
AROM
Amount/type of movement available at a joint complex.
PROM
% of patients with condition who test +ve. Evaluates true +ve.
Sensitivity
% of patients without the condition who test -ve. Evaluate true -ves.
Specificity
Appropriateness of test to formulate a diagnostic impression or hypothesis.
Relevance.
Diagnostic Decisions (vindicates)
Vascular Inflammatory Neoplasm Degenerative Intoxication Congenital Auto-immune Trauma Endocrinopathy Somatic dysfunction
Signs and symptoms constitute an annoyance but cause no impairment in the performance of a particular activity. (Aware when thought about)
Minimal (intensity grading)
Signs and symptoms can be tolerated but would cause some impairment in performance of an activity that precipates the signs and symptoms.
Slight (intensity grading)
Signs and symptoms would cause marked impairment in the performance of an activity that precipates signs and symptoms. (Aware of pain, affects ADLs)
Moderate (intensity grading)
Signs and symptoms preclude any activity that precipates the signs and symptoms. (Cannot physically do it).
Marked (intensity grading)
