Strategien zur frühzeitigen Erkennung ernsthafter Pathologien der Wirbelsäule

Ernsthafte Pathologien der Wirbelsäule sind zwar selten, sollten aber von Physiotherapeut*innen so früh wie möglich erkannt werden. Dies ist jedoch sehr komplex und geht weit über das Abhaken von standardisierten Checklisten mit Red Flags hinaus. Laura Finucane (UK) stellt Strategien vor, die darin unterstützen, zusammen mit den Patient*innen einen guten Weg zu finden, wenn die klinischen Zeichen nicht eindeutig sind.
