The purpose of this final project was to improve the form used in taking a case history and physical examination to correspond better with students needs during clinical practical training. Revision of the form was based on becoming acquainted with forms used in three different osteopathic schools in Europe, literature and tryout at Kunto-Stadia. This project was carried out in cooperation with teachers at the Kunto-Stadia and fourth year osteopath students. At the result of this project a reborn prediagnostic inquiry form was developed.
