Case Study 2: Objective findings

The following pages contain photos of the patient's feet, thier lower limbs and the footwear. On some slides highlights will appear to direct you to important areas for closer inspection.

For this exercise use a blank sheet of paper or a word document, describe each of the dermatological, musculoskeletal and other findings that you observe.

Use the standard Podiatric abbreviations where possible.

Comment on all the features you see, as this exercise is an opportunity for you to practice multiple aspects of recording objective findings. Later in the course you will streamline your records to consider only the most important findings.

You might wish to review the lecture notes on Dermatological, Musculoskeletal, Vascular and Neurological Assessments to guide you as you prepare your notes.
