    Area of Science:

    • Chiropractic Rehabilitation
    • Musculoskeletal Evaluation
    • Functional Capacity Assessment

    Background:

    • Patient evaluation aims to identify mechanical sensitivities and dysfunctions limiting functional capacity.
    • The Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) defines minimum job demands for return-to-work assessments.
    • A structured examination sequence is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail a comprehensive evaluation process for identifying mechanical dysfunctions.
    • To establish minimum functional demands for return-to-work scenarios.
    • To guide chiropractic rehabilitation specialists in patient assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • The evaluation progresses from active to passive testing, including posture inspection, range of motion, and basic skills (DOT) assessment.

  • Active provocative maneuvers (e.g., McKenzie, Kemps) and muscle function tests (strength, coordination, endurance) are employed.
  • Passive tests include joint play, muscle length assessment, and palpation for soft tissue issues like trigger points.

    • Main Results:

    • The systematic evaluation identifies key functional pathologies and mechanical dysfunctions.
    • It establishes a patient's work capacity and monitors treatment outcomes.
    • Diagnostic triage is achieved, guiding appropriate rehabilitation strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough, systematic evaluation is essential for chiropractic rehabilitation specialists.
    • The process effectively identifies limitations and guides interventions for return to work and daily activities.
    • This structured approach ensures comprehensive patient assessment and outcome monitoring.
