PM&R CLINICAL COMPANION

A practical clinical reference for rotations and residency.

Use focused guides and worksheets to prepare for encounters, organize the examination, build the differential, choose an appropriate workup, and present a rehabilitation plan.
NotionCOMPLETE GUIDE LIBRARY

From “What should I ask?” to a focused rehabilitation plan.

Each note follows the same practical sequence: must-not-miss screen, focused history, function, examination, outcomes, differential, workup, treatment, and a concise presentation.

PM&R CLINICAL COMPANIONSHOULDER EXAMINATION

FOCUSED EXAMINATION

Localize before you order the study.

START WITH FUNCTION

Clarify hand dominance, overhead activity, sleep, dressing, transfers, assistive-device use, and prior level of function.

LOOK

Scapular position, atrophy, swelling, deformity, and protective posture.

MOVE

Compare active and passive range, then identify the painful arc and substitution.

TEST

Choose targeted maneuvers only after history, range, and strength narrow the differential.

WHAT THE CLINICAL COMPANION IS

A fast clinical-preparation system—not another textbook.

The Clinical Companion is built from the Notion-based PM&R 5-Minute Clinical Toolkit and MS4 Rotation HQ. Its job is to help you prepare for the encounter in front of you: what to ask, what to examine, what not to miss, how to organize the plan, and how to present it clearly.

01

Before clinic or rounds

Review the focused history, functional questions, red flags, and examination sequence.

02

During assessment

Connect impairments to activity, participation, equipment, therapy, and disposition.

03

Before presenting

Use a concise PM&R structure with measurable goals and the key rehabilitation barriers.
