Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose joint dislocation, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "joint dislocation" as a symptom. For example, weak ligaments-tendons.

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause.

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of joint dislocation.

If you indicate joint problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Have you ever suffered from dislocated joints?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
