Introduction to the videos
Clinical findings in patients
These videos have been created to help develop your skills in examining patients and in particular focusing on how to adapt REMS when the examination is not normal, and to help you start to recognise common conditions.
Each video shows a patient being examined using the look, feel, move, function methodology to detect the key clinical signs and concludes with a summary of the findings.
Please use the videos alongside guided clinical teaching. It is only through real-life clinical practice that confidence in musculoskeletal clinical examination can be improved. A huge thank you to all the wonderful patients who took the time to work with us on these videos to help us achieve our aim of improving the standard of care provided to patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
