T-6 Complete Paraplegic Spinal Cord Injury with History of Altered Sensations -- Suddenly Acquires Normal Sensations in Medical Record!

WOW! Did the patient suddenly recover? Why would the NP use Homan's Sign to look for Deep Vein Thrombosis in a person known to have altered sensations? It's not like this healthcare worker does not know the patient has Spinal Cord Injury -- although it is also documented here. So why does this person use a test inappropriate for a person with altered sensations? Then note the patient does not have Normal Sensations? How does this happen?
