| what does SOCRATES stand for? | a way to remember what to ask the patient about his pain. S: site, O: onset, C: character, R: radiography, A: associated symptoms, T: time, E: exacerbation and relief, S: severity |
| what is mechanical pain? | a pain that comes with movement. it is the most important type of pain |
| what is inflammatory pain? | a pain that is associated w/ inflammation |
| what is sudden onset pain and what are its causes? | a pain that appears suddenly, indicates trauma or infection |
| what is gradual onset pain and what are its causes? | a pain that appears gradually, indicates inflammation |
| what is migratory joint pain? | a pain that starts in one joint then migrates to another and disappears from the first (ex: as in rhematic fever) |

| what is stiffness? | restricted joint motion |
| what does localized stiffness indicate? | trauma or surgery |
| what does generalized stiffness indicate? | systemic disease (ex: RA) |

| what does diffuse swelling indicate? | edema |
| what does localized swelling indicate? | joint swelling, bursitis |
| what does immediate swelling after trauma indicate? | hemarthrosis (ie. injury of vascularized structure, ex: bone or ACL) |
| what does reactive effusion swelling indicate? | trauma of non vascularized structure, ex: cartilage, meniscus |
| what are the causes of weakness? | pain, nerve problem, muscle problem, cut of tendon |
| what does bilateral muscle weakness indicate? | systemic disease, ex: hereditary myopathies, neuropathies |
| what is Gower's sign? | weakness of quadriceps and gluteus muscles characteristic for bilateral muscle weakness seen in DMD patients |
| what does unilateral muscle weakness indicate? | nerve injury, ex: wrist drop indicates radial nerve injury, foot drop indicates peroneal nerve injury |
| what is locking? | inability to complete full range of motion due to mechanical block in the joint |
