The symptom localization column of the PT-CISE contains what?

• A. Tests and measures used to identify location/source of symptoms
• B. Treatment plans for symptoms
• C. Imaging results documenting sites of injury
• D. Patient education materials for symptom management

Answer: (A)

Locating where symptoms come from relies on objective tests and measures you perform during the exam. The symptom localization column is where you record those tests and measures that help identify the site or source of the symptoms. This includes provocative or special tests, range of motion findings, sensation and strength testing, palpation findings, and other exam data that point to a specific region or structure. These data are distinct from what you do after the exam: treatment plans describe how you’ll address the findings, imaging results document structural information from scans, and patient education materials provide guidance for management and self-care.
