Expert therapists use specific clinical reasoning processes in the assessment and management of patients with shoulder pain: A qualitative study. Australian Journal of Physiotherapy, 54 (4), 261-266.

A qualitative study of 26 experts answering the question What are the key items in the clinical reasoning process which expert clinicians identify as being relevant to the assessment and management of patients with shoulder pain? The study concluded that the expert therapists primarily used both diagnostic and narrative reasoning. There was an emphasis on history and basic physical examination procedures when making clinical decisions.
