Abstract
A patient with a diagnosis of left lateral thigh pain was seen for physical therapy treatment for a total of 7 sessions from 2/24115 to 4/21115 at an outpatient pro-bono physical therapy clinic. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter with a subjective and objective examination, and a plan of care was established. Main goal for the patient was to identify the cause of her condition, decrease pain throughout daily activities, and a return to running and playing sports without pain. Main interventions were patient education, therapeutic exercises, motor control training, and manual therapy. At discharge, the patient had a decrease in pain and sleep disturbance, improved strength, motor control, flexibility, posture, gait mechanics, and functional mobility. The patient was discharged to home with a progressive home exercise program and no other follow up was scheduled.
