If the patient does not have any red flag findings or the cluster of findings con-
https://t.me/med1917
sistent with nociplastic symptoms, this mechanism can be ruled out
77
If the patient responds to interventions with an increase in symptoms related to
mechanical input, nociplastic symptoms may be a secondary contributing factor and nociceptive and peripheral neuropathic contributions to the patient’s prima­ry complaints should be ruled out
77
4.7 e First Decision, the Clinician, Must Make
During the history and evaluation process, clinicians must use clinical reasoning
to decide if they are going to evaluate and treat, evaluate and refer, or refer the patient
Patients with nociplastic findings have symptomatic complaints that do not sig-
nificantly change with mechanical input
As a result, patients that present with nociplastic findings also have findings that
are consistent with red flags that may include visceral referred symptoms
Ruling out red flags in the presence of primary nociplastic findings should, there-
fore, be paramount before treatment
—NOTES—
Peripheral Neuropathic (Radicular or Referred)
4.8
74
Patients with primary peripheral neuropathic pain have symptoms that are re-
ferred in a dermatomal (radicular) or cutaneous (referred) distribution, have a history of nerve injury, pathology, or mechanical compromise of the nerve with symptom provocation with mechanical testing
is is the classification that most patients with spinal conditions will fit into
79
79
is cluster of findings was found to have a sensitivity of 86.3% and a specificity
of 96.0%
79
An important consideration is that a patient may have radicular symptoms,
radiculopathy, and referred symptoms at the same time. It is important that the clinician identify which mechanism is driving the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint at any given time
Nociceptive
4.9
75
Patients with nociceptive pain have symptoms that are localized to an area of
injury or dysfunction, provocation and/or alleviation are clearly identifiable and proportionate, match known mechanical and anatomical distributions, symp­toms are usually intermittent and start with the onset movement or mechanical provocation, and the quality of symptoms may be a constant dull ache or a throb
80
at rest
is group of patients should not have pain in association with other dysesthe-
sias, night pain or disturbed sleep, antalgic postures or movement patterns and pain that is described as burning, shooting, sharp, or electric-shock-like
80
is cluster of findings was found to have a sensitivity of 90.9% and a specificity
of 91.0% and most closely matches the pathoanatomic model
A more specific response to posture, position, motion, repetitive motion, load,
or tension through the structure should be expected with individuals with noci­ceptive dominant symptoms
4.10 How do these mechanisms interact?
Diagnostically we are likely looking for the DOMINANT mechanism probabi-
listically at any given time. is is not pathoanatomic
It is based on hypothesis generation, hypothesis testing, and patient response
is process is more accurately probabilistic Bayesian reasoning through symp-
tom modification

4.11 Pain Diagram and Hypothesis Generation
e patient’s pain diagram may be useful in hypothesis generation by allowing
the patient to provide a visual representation of:
° Local symptoms = Likely nociceptive ° Proximal to distal symptoms = Likely peripheral neuropathic (radicular or
referred)
° Global symptoms = May represent red flags that need to be ruled out or a
nociplastic source of symptoms
° It is also essential to consider that red flag findings may not be global and may
be specific as is the case with McBurney’s point with appendicitis and fever that may be consistent with infection
Pain Diagram and Nociplastic Symptoms
4.12
Chronic widespread pain defined as ≥20% of coverage of the surface area of a
pain diagram has been shown to be correlated to “severe” or “extremely severe” anxiety scores, 5 or more psychosocial stressors, 5 or more significant life events, and the use of 7 or more pain management strategies
83
Very early in the exam process, this tool may be valuable in helping the clinician
make the evaluative decision to evaluate and treat, evaluate and refer, or refer the patient to rule out red flag findings. Patients that have symptoms in the absence of red flags that are not modifiable through mechanical input require an approach to address central sensitization

A detailed description of the application of the mechanism-based classification
https://t.me/med1917
approach is beyond the scope of this monograph
A detailed application of this approach can be found in a case study written by
84
Hensley and Courtney
in the context of a complex presentation of a patient
with low back pain (LBP)
If the clinician can understand the application of this model in a complex patient
with LBP, they should also be able to apply this approach to other complicated musculoskeletal conditions and less complicated musculoskeletal conditions that are primarily nociceptive
On the right side of the slide is the pain diagram for the patient in the case study
written by Hensley and Courtney
84
Based on the pain diagram that the patient filled out, you should be formulating
hypotheses regarding which primary mechanism is driving the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint
Can you rule out red flag findings?
What questions do you need to ask this patient?
Can you rule out a primary nociplastic mechanism?
Can you rule out a primary peripheral neuropathic mechanism?
Can you rule out a primary nociceptive mechanism?
What are your primary, secondary, and tertiary hypotheses based on the mecha-
nism at this time?
What would the physical exam look like for this patient if they had red flag find-
ings and if each one of these hypotheses were true?
Answering these questions before collecting the data may help the clinician ob-
tain data with a low risk of confirmation bias and provide a vehicle for funneling the primary mechanism through the process of elimination
By the time the clinician has completed the history, they should have decided to
refer or evaluate the patient

toms?
77
77
For example, in the context of LBP, the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint (SIJ), and
hip are 3 potential dominant sources that have convergent, overlapping referral patterns
65-70
• Independent of the location of the patient’s primary symptoms, it may be pru­dent to identify how these primary symptoms change with mechanical strategies at one of the 3 regions based on hypothesis generation and modification from
77
the patients physical exam

4.16 Symptom Modification rough Symptom Alleviation
Illustrations by Kinstler Design
If you were performing a lumbar physical exam and reproduced that patient’s pri-
mary symptoms in any of the areas depicted in the pictures, what would be your primary hypotheses as to the source and/or contributing factor to the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint?
From left to right, these images represent zygoapophyseal,
65
hip,67 and SIJ,66
referral patterns that were confirmed with an anesthetic block
Given the considerable overlap of referred symptoms from the lumbar spine,
SIJ, and hip in patients that suffer from low back pain, symptom provocation, or alleviation in this region may not be able to answer any specific, meaningful clinical question
In the context of low back pain, symptom modification through symptom alle-
viation may be a powerful tool that may be used to identify the potential source and/or contributing factor(s) to a patient’s primary symptomatic complaint through a process of elimination
Can we rule out the hip?
4.17
Hip hypomobility is a commonly identified potential source or contributing
factor in patients with LBP
85-88
If the patient has hip hypomobility and low back or SIJ symptoms, the hip can-
not be immediately ruled out as a potential primary driver of symptoms
Testing the hypothesis by providing an intervention that should improve hip
hypomobility and then reassessing the impact of the improved mobility on the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint may provide an easy access point to rule out the hip as the source or contributing factor to the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint
If the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint does not change in response to
improved hip mobility, the hip is likely not the source or a contributing factor
If the patient’s symptoms do change with an intervention directed at the hip, the
clinician should treat the hip until these symptoms no longer change in response to treatment
4.18
Is the SIJ the primary source?
77
If the answer is yes, exam procedures and interventions directed to this anatomic
region should have the most significant impact on the patient’s primary symp­tomatic complaint
e cluster as described by Laslett et al has been shown to have utility in both
ruling out and ruling in SIJ pathology
89
Modifiable SIJ symptoms may be determined through:
° A positive active SLR test

° A positive FABER test91
https://t.me/med1917
° Resisted hip abduction
92
° Special tests and function can be significantly modified by generating internal
force closure or external force closure with an SI belt
93
—NOTES—
Ruling Out
4.19
77
If the hip can be ruled out, and the SIJ can be ruled out, it leaves the lumbar
spine as the primary source or contributing factor to the patient’s dominant symptoms
is hypothesis should, however, be tested in the context of the determination of
the change of symptoms in response to testing and/or interventions directed to this region
4.20 Determining the Location
77
e above example is meant to illustrate one possibility of how the patient’s story
may unfold
In general, it is easier to get something moving than it is to make something
stable
In the context of identifying the where, first ruling out hypomobility in the hip,
SIJ, or lumbar spine, may provide the most pragmatic way to funnel the primary location that needs the most attention at any given time through the process of elimination
Ensuring that a hypomobility is not contributing to hypermobility or the pa-
tient’s primary symptoms before initiating interventions to improve stability may be the most pragmatic approach
4.21 Step 3 of 4-What is the mechanical input that significantly changes the pa-
tient’s primary complaint?
77
4.22 Mechanical Input
77
e patient’s response to mechanical input may help the clinician identify the
primary mechanism and primary location of the patient’s primary symptom­atic complaint
4.23
Relationships Between Mechanical Inputs
77
77
We are attempting to answer the question of which mechanical input has the
most significant impact on the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint at any given time
at said, mechanical inputs do not occur in isolation
For example,
° e seated position is a flexed loaded position ° Standing is a relatively extended loaded position

25
—NOTES—
https://t.me/med1917
° Laying supine is a relatively extended, unloaded position ° Walking is a loaded mid-range motion
If we consider the essential elements of load, position, and motion, we can
further discuss how these elements modify mechanical input through posture, repetitive movement, and tension through anatomic structures
e patient’s preference with these variables and their symptomatic response to
these variables may provide valuable insight into symptom irritability and the impact of mechanical input on provocation and alleviation
4.24
Step 4 of 4-Generating and Modifying Hypotheses
77
e generation of hypotheses is an iterative process that begins when you first
meet the patient and evolves during the examination process
e evolution occurs as data are progressively gathered, organized, and priori-
tized using Bayesian reasoning
4.25
Observation
We can attain important information from the patients as we greet them in the
waiting room
° Do patients prefer to stand, sit, or move? ° If they are seated, what type of chair do they choose to sit in? ° Is it a high chair, a low chair, does the chair have arms? ° How do they transition from the chair? ° Do they have to repeatedly rock their body before getting up? ° Do they have any aberrant motion with the transition? ° Do they have to use their arms? ° Do they require assistance? ° If they are not sitting, it may be a good follow-up question to ask them, why?
4.26
Controversy Regarding the Cause
Controversy exists regarding the “cause” of a patient’s symptoms
e cause of the output that the patient experiences may not be attributable to
94-96
kinesiopathological or pathoanatomic variables,
yet clinicians that practice
musculoskeletal medicine are interested in seeing if the patient’s primary com-
9
plaint at any given time is modifiable through mechanical input
e Patient’s Response
4.27
e patient’s symptomatic response to mechanical input may help the clinician
identify the primary pain mechanism, primary location, and primary mechanical input that is probabilistically going to modify the patient’s primary symptomatic
77
complaint at any given time
When a patient’s primary symptomatic complaint does not significantly respond
to mechanical input, a nociplastic mechanism must be considered if red flag
77
findings can be ruled out
4.28 Symptom Irritability
e reasoning process includes the reasoning related to musculoskeletal pain
irritability
40
Musculoskeletal pain irritability is related to the amount and nature of the activ-
ities that produce pain or aggravate a patient’s symptoms and the extent of the
41
persistence of pain
is concept may be an essential consideration as the clinician plans on how the
data should be collected following the medical history before performing the physical examination

Given that most testing is provocative, it is vital that the clinician does the least
https://t.me/med1917
amount of testing to attain the most amount of information
If the patient has high symptom irritability, symptom alleviation may be the
most powerful tool to use at that time and defer a more comprehensive physical exam to a later date, while still offering meaningful information regarding symp-
77
tom behavior
is hypothesis testing strategy may include using a comparable sign related to
the patient’s primary symptoms as a benchmark for the hypothesis testing strat­egy to determine if the hypothesis is probabilistically accurate
40
4.29 Symptom Modification
is is a process that tests a hypothesis by determining if an examination proce-
dure or intervention changes (increases, decreases, or stays the same) the patient’s primary symptoms
42
Rationally, the thought that any procedure or intervention “caused” the modi-
fication in symptoms can never be assumed to be completely accurate without creating the risk of the confirmation, hindsight, anchoring, and recall biases
is type of thinking also creates an environment rich for the development of
cum hoc ergo propter hoc and post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacies
e premises of any treatment system may be used to generate and modify hy-
potheses at any given time during the examination process
e hypotheses, however, must be tested and verified probabilistically through
symptom modification within the context of an n=1 in a patient-centered ap­proach
—NOTES—
77
4.30 Clinical Reasoning Process
Classification is not a start or end-point in the clinical reasoning process. It is also
not a static phenomenon
Clinical reasoning is a probabilistic determination of the most likely drivers
(mechanism, location, and mechanical input) of the patient’s primary symptom­atic complaint at any given time
° Have hypotheses been generated? ° Has serious pathology been ruled out? ° Can the primary mechanism, location, and mechanical input that significantly
changes the patient’s primary complaint at any given time be identified?
° Have the hypotheses been tested and verified, refuted, or modified? ° Has this process continued within and between treatment sessions?
If the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint does not change or improve
with mechanical input, serious pathology should always be considered first. If serious pathology can be ruled out, the patient’s primary symptoms are most likely attributable to nociplastic changes and interventions directed at central and peripheral mechanisms must be considered and implemented
77
4.31 Intervention Procedures Reasoning
Intervention procedures reasoning is about testing the hypothesis that is proba-
bilistically most likely to be true at any given time
If the clinician understands the dominant mechanism, dominant location, and
the probabilistic primary mechanical input that should modify the patient’s pri­mary symptomatic complaint, they should be able to select an intervention that will allow them to test their hypothesis
If the clinician has decided to test a hypothesis through symptom modification,
they are probabilistically confident that there are no red flag findings and that the patient’s primary symptomatic complaints are not driven by nociplastic domi­nant mechanisms

27
—NOTES—
https://t.me/med1917
For patients that have nociplastic dominant symptoms, symptoms should not be
discussed
e primary consideration should be on cortical and peripheral desensitization
without worsening the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint
4.32 Measure and Evaluate the Patient’s Response
77
If the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint significantly changes, the hy-
pothesis is probabilistically correct at that time
If the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint does not significantly change,
the clinician must test an alternate hypothesis or formulate a new hypothesis
It is essential to consider that the primary hypothesis regarding the dominant
mechanism, dominant location, and dominant mechanical input should evolve and change as the patient improves within and between treatment sessions
If the patient’s symptoms do not change in the absence of red flag findings, the
context of interventions should focus on progressively improving function with­out significantly increasing the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint within and between treatment sessions
e Why (Mechanism), Where (Location), How (Mechanical Input) Clinical
4.33
Reasoning Model
77
It is important to understand that clinical reasoning is a dynamic, reflective,
iterative process that evolves within and between treatment sessions by using the method of hypothesis generation, hypothesis testing, and hypothesis modifica­tion
e practicing clinician must recognize that there are several potential mech-
anisms, locations, and mechanical inputs that may contribute to the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint that overlap
At any given time, the clinician is interested in the primary mechanism, primary
location, and primary mechanical input that has the most significant influence on the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint at that moment
is should evolve and change within and between treatment sessions as the
clinician establishes hypotheses, tests hypotheses, and modifies hypotheses based on the patient’s symptom response

How is clinical reasoning different between novice and expert clinicians?
It is how they process information
—NOTES—
4.36
Novices
97-103
Use Type 2 Processing ° Is the process of analysis ° It is the process that should be used more often ° e reason we don’t use it is humans, by nature, are mentally lazy ° We will very often take the easy way out
Mostly use a hypothetico-deductive (maybe more accurately hypothetico-induc-
tive) approach
ey have very few patterns to recognize
Standardized and data-driven
Do not recognize that clinical reasoning is a collaborative process between the
clinician and the patient
97-104
4.37
Experts
Use Type 1 Processing
° Involves intuitive snap judgments ° Amongst experts this process is most often well-informed and correct ° It is an evolutionary tool that allows us to recognize and instantly react ° It can’t be switched off ° e problem is that it is easily fooled
Rely on pattern recognition
Use hypothetico-deductive (and/or hypothetico-inductive) approach with com-
plex patients
Reasoning is individualized to the patient and includes the contextual element
related to the patient-clinician interaction
4.38 e Metacognitive Process
inking about thinking through reflection
Reflection on Action
4.39
Is most often used by novice clinicians
Clinical reasoning “on action” is the reflective metacognitive process on:
° What went well ° What did not go well ° What should be done differently in the future
4.40 Reflection in Action
Is most often used by expert clinicians
Clinical reasoning “in action” can recognize what is going well, what isn’t going
well, and involves the ability to make on the spot corrections in real-time

Considerations of whether the reasoning adequately addresses the underlying
complexity of the issue
For example:
° Could you put that another way? ° How could we verify that? ° Could you be more specific? ° How does that relate to the main issue?
4.43 Questions to Improve Breadth of Knowledge
105
Considerations of whether there is a need for another point of view
For example: Have you thought about any other ways to interpret the situation?
4.44 Questions to Determine the Most Pragmatic Approach for the Patient
105
Are used to determine the most important things to focus on
For example: If you could only address one item, which one would have the most
impact? Why? How?
4.45
Questions to Determine if Conclusions are Fair
105
Self-reflection on the potential bias, assumptions, or vested interests that may be
unconsciously influencing reasoning
For example: Are there any conclusions you may have jumped to that you have
not yet validated?
4.46 How can you improve your clinical reasoning?
47,48
By recognizing common causes of clinical reasoning errors
° Inadequate knowledge ° Faulty data gathering ° Faulty data processing ° Faulty metacognition
By recognizing logically fallacious thinking and cognitive biases
By recognizing when you are starting with the answer (rationalizing) instead of
starting with a question or a hypothesis (rational thinking)
4.47 How is clinical reasoning developed?
102,106-109
Students need a “diagnostic reasoning strategy”
By slowing down and verbalizing their thinking, experts can make their reason-
ing explicit for learners
When learners do the same, their reasoning processes can be assessed and im-
proved with feedback
It is a “hands-on process”
It is “reflective”
4.48
Five Micro Skills Model for Mentorship to Improve Clinical Reasoning
(Appendix 2)
110
1. Obtain a commitment from the learner about what they think is happening
with the patient’s problem first (instead of a summary of the case so that the mentor can solve the problem)
2. Probe for underlying reasoning (eg, consider all relevant reasoning strategies)
3. Teach/review general concepts, principles, and specific knowledge relevant to
understanding the case (if needed or if gaps in knowledge have been revealed that are critical to caring for the patient at that juncture)
4. Provide positive feedback about what the learner has done well
5. Correct errors (as needed in the moment, for the benefit of the patient)
