For a case study involving clinical presentation with 3 different region; are we expected to provide a combined hypothesis which includes all the clinical presentations of 3 regions or individual joint hypothesis will be accepted ?

Good evening

My apologies! –In truth--I do not completely understand your question.

Hopefully we are aware that a single source of MSK pathology can manifest itself in multiple symptoms. e.g. C6 radiculopathy vertebral disc in origin can potentially cause local neck pain, potentially medial scapula discomfort ( Cloward’s zone),  potentially lateral forearm discomfort and potentially biceps weakness.

Alternatively, we are hopefully aware we can suffer with multiple MSK issues simultaneously. eg. Somatic pain from C4-5 facet Combined with lateral epicondylalgia  cause forearm discomfort and weakness due to pain on elbow flexion ( thus mimicking a C6 radiculopathy).

Thus the key here is to clearly demonstrate your clinical reasoning by clearly explaining how you would differentiate between the two conditions. What would your must/ should/ could plan look like?  What difference in your examination findings would you expect?

Hope this has answered your question!

Remember you don’t only have to suggest three hypotheses you can suggest more!

Have a good weekend!

Viva timetable should now be available in the Assessment section on BB site-- each student has been allotted a time and date.

The viva's are online-- Zoom links to follow!

Have a good weekend!

How many supporting articles are expected approximately for each case study?

Hi

Unfortunately, there is no specific answer to this question.

I would hope you have a good in-depth working knowledge  of several papers to allow you to be able to compare and contrast the clinical effectiveness of manual and movement therapy interventions related to your specific case study case study.

Further you are asked to critically discuss patient centred care and  impact of patient expectations—these can be quite generic papers which can potentially be applied across all four case studies.

In addition you need to critically consider the evidence behind relevant contemporary neuromusculoskeletal theories, and their implications for assessment. Again this literature can be generic and apply across the range of case studies.

Hope this helps!

Peter

p.s. please note  each of the learning outcomes are asking

for some critique!

Have a good evening

When presenting the case , do we have to explain manual therapy , movement therapy first and then patient expectations or we can also explain patient expectation first and then manual and movement therapy?

The order in which you address manual therapy, exercise education and ‘person centred’ care is purely up too you!—please don’t forget to offer a little critique!

Peter

# data[].attributes.body
Can you please tell if there is any cut off time for which we can speak about the case in the viva?

You will be given the case study and 10 mins to read your notes.

The subsequent viva will ideally last 30 mins—you will be stopped at 35mins!

do we need to support our hypothesis with articles???

If you can support any of your potential hypotheses with critical reference to the research base, then that would certainly be beneficial.

However, this may not always be possible-thus you will be asked to demonstrate your clinical reasoning i.e. -which of the patients presenting signs or symptoms are consistent with your chosen hypotheses?

Hope this help!

Peter

Do we have to provide treatment plan for only one most suggested hypothesis or the all 3 hypothesis?

You only need to provide a management plan for chosen hypotheses; not all three hypotheses!

Have a good weekend!

1. what kind of topic do we need to select for our reflective assessment?

2. where do we need to use evidence?

3. Do we need to appraise the evidence used?

This coursework IS  focused on fulfilling Learning Outcome 4:

‘Critically reflect on your own ability to manage patients with neuro-musculoskeletal problems’

--- Yes you need to apply evidence!

This is an MSc----. Yes you need to offer critique—remember there is very few marks for descriptive writing!.

# data[].attributes.body
Do we have to reflect on any one of the clinical practice (manual or exercise therapy)? Or can we do both?

You can use two critical incidences to demonstrate your learning—remember 2000 word – Max 2000 plus 10% (2200 words—over this limit potential penalty).

# data[].attributes.body
Do we also have to justify some of the questions that we ask in subjective assessment with evidence which are relevant to the hypothesis generated?

When requesting additional subjective information, you will asked to justify your clinical reasoning, explaining clearly -- why this extra information would potentially be helpful!

If you can support your clinical reasoning with reference to some appropriate literature this would clearly add depth to your argument.

Have a good weekend!

Peter

Could you give a brief about the learning outcome 1?

How to connect it to the case studies ?

Sorry this request is beyond the parameters of padlet!

Can I recommend you revisit the Support resource ‘Task One: The Viva Voce—in Plain English!’—from Folder 5 which clear outlines what is expected for each the Learning Outcomes

.

In addition to visiting the ‘ CMR Assessment UPDATED Support Task One: Viva’ from Folder 6 which outlines a number of questions linked to the case study!

Peter

While asking the special questions in the subjective assessment to help to rule of my hypothesis. Do we have to ask questions related to our weightage one hypothesis that we mostly rely on or can we ask questions related to rest other possible hypothesis (that's called 2nd , 3rd ,4th..... Hypothesis) to rule out the diagnosis???

We would expect a range on generic screening questions to be asked.

Then any specifics questions around your primary hypotheses!

# data[].attributes.body
is this reflection a personal reflection ? as learning outcome tend to be more personal than academic

if we need to provide any evidence from literature in which part will be as it is look to me it is more personal than academic reflection i hope you answer me and thank you very much

Yes! your reflection needs to be personal!

It could based upon a previous clinical case study from your internship or previous clinical experience.

Having now completed the CMR module on reflection would you treat your patient differently?

You could reflect around your understanding of the bio-psycho-social model or person centred care or behavioural change.

(Remember support with critical reference to the research base) – critically consider how your extended knowledge it has impacted on your decision making or management plan.

Potentially consider applying the different stages of one of the  recognised reflective models to structure your assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
When will the formative feedback for task 2 will be released ?

Hopefully the formative feedback has been released.

# data[].attributes.body
In my feedback for task 2, I was asked to write in third person. How should I do that? I am reflecting on my practice, so please clarify with an example.

Reflection can be written in the first person—apologies if you were directed otherwise!

You must not use your case study from the viva—you run the risk of academic self-plagiarism.

# data[].attributes.body
Is the action plan included in the 2000 word count limit?

The SMART action plan needs to be included in the Appendix --this way it is not included in your word count!

# data[].attributes.body
Are we allowed to use diagrams/flowcharts/cycles with appropriate citations to explain certain concepts in our essay?

Yes! – remember the words within the diagrams/ flowcharts/ tables/ cycles within the body of the text will be included in the word count!

# data[].attributes.body
can we mix two framework for reflection ?

Yes!  -- you can mix  the frameworks!—but make sure you justify why!

Alternatively, compare and contrast the frameworks.

Just be wary if you go over 2200 marks you will be deducted 10 marks—so use the Appendix wisely!

# data[].attributes.body
Should the case study be part of the appendix or the actual paragraph? Can you please elaborate about it?

Consider including a detailed case study within the Appendix—and potential a couple of sentences clarifying the salient points within the text.

Don’t forget any case study/ reflective models tec. you place within the Appendix to you need to refer within the body of the text!—if not your reader does not have to consider it!—thus not marks gained!

# data[].attributes.body
Can I reflect on 3-4 areas of practice or should i focus on one area of practice for CMR summative reflection?

You can reflect across 3-4 areas I would just be aware of the word count (be wary if you go over 2200 marks you will be deducted 10 marks).

Remember depth and quality gains more marks than quantity!

# data[].attributes.body
Is the references included in the 2000 word count?

Citations Yes!--- Reference list No!
