@UWMKIN526 Many neurological & cog deficits revealed in pts while screening balance/FRT/TUG, which presented great challenges! #uwmola2013

@UWMKIN526 Heed the alarm & when in doubt, ask -- even if going to chapel seems like valid reason for resident to use elevator. #uwmola2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Discovered that clear instructions make world of difference in pt performance. Working to say it right on first try. #uwmola2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Discovered that I give non-verbal cues when testing visual fields; need to stand behind participant for valid test. #uwmola2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Important to listen carefully & think beyond current task: volunteer using cane on wrong side despite being in PT! #uwmola2013

@UWMKIN526 Importance of careful listening & thinking beyond current task: Discovered volunteer was using cane on wrong side! @UWMOLA2013

@UWMKIN526 Felt/saw edema in volunteer's leg & disappointed it was not pitting. At least I learned what it does NOT feel like! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Volunteers eager to get BP checked but not strength. We must educate how strength can be just as important to health! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Patience & smiles go a long way w/talkative volunteers but then assertiveness pays off to score a BP reading! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Volunteers automatically did limb actions bilat tho not prompted to do so either verbally or visually...interesting. #UWMOLA2013

@UWMKIN526 Got to palpate a C-curve scoliosis in the spine of an 82-yr-old participant today. Great learning opportunity! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Saw firsthand how difficult it is to communicate an isolated movement like cervical lateral flexion to a layperson! #UWMOLA 2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Brittni & I were totally up for challenges of our forward participant & talkative other. We nailed the interactions! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Learned lots today via trial & error about how best to explain procedures & give directions to patients #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Participants really know their BPs & take them seriously. I see it's important to be very accurate & honest! #UWMOLA 2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Palpated shoulders of 2 very kind men who didn't seem to understand what our goal was, but were cooperative anyway! #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 A few volunteers have been doing this for 5 yrs! We owe them a lot for letting us learn in such a safe environment. #UWMOLA2013

[Matt Agen @mjagen]

@UWMKIN526 Okay, here it goes, one more time! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's OLA with BP, HR, and RR! #UWMOLA2013
