Differential Diagnosis: Low Back Pain vs. Hip Pain
This hip vs. low back differential diagnosis module begins by creating a hypothesis list based on information from the patient’s intake form. The hypothesis list is then revised twice more as new information from the exam is collected. Feedback from an expert clinician is provided to allow the learner to self-evaluate differences in clinical reasoning.
