Description
This course will present the latest research available to guide clinicians through the reasoning process for determining if a patient needs to be referred out for a radiographic evaluation. A review of evidence based guidelines as well as clinical predication rules are covered within the context of the physical therapists examination. Guidelines for interpreting the diagnostic utility of the rules for ordering radiographs will be covered including the clinician’s ability to recognize false-negative and false –positive rates associated with the rules. Lastly, cases will be presented at the onset of the course to stimulate critical thinking which will then be re-visited upon concluding the course to allow the clinician to synthesize and apply course content.
