There are many examination skills in PTA that students need to learn. While searching the web I found many interesting and helpful websites, videos, and articles that explain and demonstrate some of the skills. As a PTA you are required to know how to measure a patient's blood pressure, perform a skin assessment, and perform sitting and standing balance test. The information I found is just some of many useful guides to performing each skill.
There is a video on YouTube called Blood Pressure Measurement that demonstrates how to take a patient's blood pressure. Before you begin you have to wash your hands, explain what you are going to be doing, and when you start you have to be sure that you the cuff is lined up correctly.
