Introduction[edit | edit source]
Good communication is an essential practice that has shown to improve the patient's willingness to engage in the treatment[1].
Clinical examination is facing a challenge concerning its accuracy and importance. The advancement in research has proven low reliability and validity of many clinical tests with higher rates of accuracy associated with imaging and scans[2]. However, when the subject is approached from cost-effectiveness and availability point of view the perspective changes. Access to advanced medical diagnostic tools geographically and the affordability of such tests differed from a place to another. Therefore, clinical examination is still a valuable tool in clinical practice.
A thorough and effective physical examination is considered to be an art that is not only important for proper diagnosis but also builds the patient-healthcare relationship. Lack of physical examination is perceived by the patients as insufficient attention[3].
