Comprehensive i-Human Case Study – Week 9: Evaluation and Management of Knee Pain in an 83-Year-Old Female Patient

Document Content and Description Below

This case study presents the full details of i-Human Case Week 9, focusing on the clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and management of knee pain in an 83-year-old female patient. The patient, measuring 5 ... ’5” (165 cm) and weighing 186 lbs (84.3 kg), presents to an outpatient facility equipped with diagnostic tools including x-ray, ECG, and laboratory testing. The simulation guides learners through a realistic clinical scenario where they must apply their knowledge of geriatric assessment, musculoskeletal disorders, and diagnostic reasoning. The case emphasizes critical thinking, effective communication, and evidence-based decision-making in managing knee pain among older adults. Students are expected to perform a comprehensive history and physical examination, identify key differential diagnoses (such as osteoarthritis, bursitis, and ligament injury), and select appropriate investigations to confirm the underlying cause. Learners will also develop individualized treatment plans considering age-related physiological changes, mobility limitations, and patient safety. This i-Human learning activity encourages reflective practice through a single-attempt, performance-reviewed simulation. It supports the development of professional clinical judgment and reinforces best practices in geriatric care, pain management, and primary care evaluation.
