In this insightful YouTube video, join us as we delve into the assessment of a 25-year-old female client suffering from persistent shoulder and neck pain over the past six months. This real-life case study is conducted by Victor Li, a trainee physiotherapist, and features an in-depth discussion with Kusal Goonewardena, APA Titled Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist.

The video kicks off with a thorough subjective assessment, where Victor takes you through the client's history of presenting complaints, detailing the nature of her discomfort and its impact on her daily activities. The use of the Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is highlighted, demonstrating how it transforms subjective experiences into quantifiable, objective data.

Kusal Goonewardena then shares his insights, shedding light on the objective assessment process for this particular client. The video showcases the client's range of motion limitations, from shoulder flexion to external rotation, and strength deficits, particularly in external rotation due to anterior shoulder pain.

The presentation also covers a series of special tests, including the empty can, full can, Speeds, and Kennedy Hawkin shoulder impingement tests, performed bilaterally. These tests provide crucial diagnostic insights that inform the treatment approach.

Join us in unraveling the complexities of this case, as Victor and Kusal collaborate to formulate short-term and long-term goals for the client's rehabilitation journey. The engaging discussion encapsulates the essence of effective clinical reasoning and teamwork in devising an evidence-based treatment plan.

This video is a must-watch for physiotherapists worldwide who seek to enhance their clinical skills, expand their knowledge, and gain practical insights into conducting comprehensive shoulder and neck assessments. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a trainee looking to refine your expertise, this case study offers a valuable learning experience that bridges theory and practice.
