| Abstract:
|
A physical examination in kinesitherapy is the process by which a professional in the field investigates the body of a patient for signs of functional and pathokinesiological changes. The goal of the musculoskeletal evaluation in kinesitherapy is to determine the nature of the underlying causes of the patient complaints in order to confirm the clinical diagnosis, predict the rehabilitation potential and to choose the appropriate therapy. In the present paper we introduce a Generalized net model which delineates the overall logic of the process of physical examination and musculoskeletal evaluation in kinesitherapy and to differentiate specific structures involved in the pathologic processes.
