Systematic Clinical Reasoning in Physical Therapy (SCRIPT): Tool for the Purposeful Practice of Clinical Reasoning in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy.

Background And Purpose: Clinical reasoning is essential to physical therapist practice. Solid clinical reasoning processes may lead to greater understanding of the patient condition, early diagnostic hypothesis development, and well-tolerated examination and intervention strategies, as well as mitigate the risk of diagnostic error. However, the complex and often subconscious nature of clinical reasoning can impede the development of this skill.

Manual Physical Therapy Following Immobilization for Stable Ankle Fracture: A Case Series.

Lumbopelvic dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence: a case report applying rehabilitative ultrasound imaging.

Study Design: Case report.

Background: It has been suggested that altered neuromuscular control of the transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles may contribute to sacroiliac joint (SIJ) region pain and stress urinary incontinence. There are limited examples describing the evaluation and management of individuals with both SIJ region pain and stress urinary incontinence in the literature.
