Abstract
[Purpose] To introduce a new systematic physical therapy evaluation aiming to facilitate the process of examining complicated musculoskeletal cases. [Subject and Methods] The patient was a 20 years old male college student who had major motor vehicle accident one year ago. The patient was poorly responding to physical therapy and he felt that his case was worsening. The complexity of the case dictated a new evaluation with a different approach to resolve the barriers hindering the patient from showing functional improvements. [Results] The new evaluation approach explained many undetermined and stubborn symptoms experienced by the patient. The expert confirmed that the traditional evaluations methods utilized were insufficient to address patient's complaints. [Conclusion] Total Assessment-Reassessment & Evaluation using bioKinesiologic (TAREK) approach is comprehensive evaluation strategy using systematic pathway that guides clinicians to pinpoint the contribution of pathoanatomical structures in producing pathomechanical mobility and poor functional outcomes.
