Abstract
A systematic history in the 5/5 program covers the following five items, each consisting of five individual aspects:
-
1.
Current complaints Case history
-
2.
Previous course Case history
-
3.
Social history Personal history
-
4.
Health history Personal history
-
5.
Family history Personal history
The first two items furnish basic information on the patient’s history to provide a guide for the subsequent basic examination of the spine and the extremity joints. These five items should also be used to update a diagnosis (Gutmann), such as when taking an intermediate history in chronic cases or performing a follow-up examination after a prolonged period.
