“Act as an experienced physical therapist mentor helping me prepare for an initial evaluation. I have a new patient referral for [general condition, e.g., 'total knee replacement post-op' or 'chronic low back pain']. Help me prepare by creating: 1) A checklist of key subjective history questions I should ask, 2) A list of objective tests and measures I should consider performing, 3) Common functional limitations I should assess for this condition, and 4) Potential red flags or precautions I should watch for during the session. Format this as a clear, organized evaluation prep guide I can review before the appointment.”
