Members do not see this ad.

Are we allowed to check pelvic or sacral disfunction in comlex pe. I heared some where that it is not allowed to do any thing in pelvic area. please correct me if it is wrong. If the hx or CC. is in that area, how we can deal it? Becouse, as you know it is not just checking pelvic rotation and symmetery in seating and standing position. it is morethan that. so what do you think or any feed back

Thanks

I think the video on the web site and the one you see before the exam has an example with a student doing this testing. Look at the video when you have time. It is under 30 min.

I have referred so many people to watch that video. It answers most of the questions people have on the PE exam.

If you read the post, it was asking about pelvic dysfunction, not gynecological exams. 🙄

Thanks for the link though! I was not expecting that.

Kind of surprised me like the COMLEX 2 pic I had a few days ago of an anus.

If you read the original post, someone was able to somehow translate "no pelvic or rectal exams" into "do not check for MSK dysfunction" 👍
