Question on subjective assessment

2nd year student here, about to undertake an MSK outpatients placement.

​

Just wondering why, when doing a subjective Ax, we ask about the presence of certain conditions such as thyroid problems, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, etc.

​

Are they just more potential red flag questions, like unexplained weight loss?

Is it that their answers may affect how we conduct the objective Ax?

Does our treatment/exercise prescription change with their answers?

Or would answering yes to any of these questions mean that we would refer them to a specialist physio?

​

Any help would be great and tips on being an MSK physio would also be appreciated!
