Exam Strategy Tips for MPT Practical

When the examiner asks "How will you assess?" - Always follow this structure:
  1. History (onset, duration, progression, prior treatment)
  2. General Observation (posture, gait, assistive devices)
  3. Vitals (HR, BP, SpO2 - especially in SCI/stroke/DMD)
  4. Specific clinical tests (list the validated scales above)
  5. Outcome measures (state the scale + what it measures + cutoff scores)
When asked "What is your management plan?":
  1. State the phase (acute/subacute/chronic)
  2. Goal-setting (SMART goals)
  3. Interventions (group by: range of motion, strengthening, balance/coordination, functional training, modalities)
  4. Evidence basis (quote trials - AVERT, EXCITE, CIMT studies, LSVT BIG, DAWN trial, etc.)
  5. Discharge planning and community reintegration
High-yield exam topics per condition:
  • Stroke: TOAST classification, NIHSS scoring, Fugl-Meyer stages, CIMT, rTMS/tDCS, thrombectomy window
  • SCI: ASIA grading + sacral sparing, Autonomic Dysreflexia emergency, SCIM III, Epidural stimulation
  • Facial Palsy: UMN vs. LMN distinction (forehead sparing), House-Brackmann, Sunnybrook, Mime therapy vs. NMES controversy
  • Parkinsonism: PSP vs. MSA vs. DLB distinction, TRAP, Braak staging, LSVT BIG, Tai Chi evidence, adaptive DBS
  • BPI: Erb vs. Klumpke, Sunderland classification, preganglionic signs (Horner's, SNAP preserved), Oberlin transfer
  • DMD/BMD: Reading frame hypothesis, NSAA + 6MWT, CoughAssist, Elevidys FDA approval 2023
  • Adult CP: GMFCS levels, Tardieu vs. MAS difference, secondary conditions, SEMLS surgery, energy cost of walking
