| Perform hand hygiene Introduce Self Patient Verification Allergies |
To disinfect the hands before conducting the assessment. To introduce the examiner and review patients medical history. To evaluate the patients daily functioning levels. |
Introduce the patient and Ask patient about musculoskeletal health history, allergies, and pain in joints and muscle. |
No health history of joint disease or arthritis. No problems with joints and muscle pain. |
|
| Inspect skeleton and extremities for alignment and symmetry Inspect muscles for symmetry and size Palpate bones for pain, temperature, and edema; and muscles for pain, temperature, edema, and tone. Observe the ROM (ROM) for major joints and adjacent muscles, for pain on movement, joint stability, and deformity Test muscle strength and compare sides |
To determine posture and alignment To determine the musculature symmetry. To determine the temperature, pain and edema in the bone and muscle. To examine presence of deformity, joint stability, and pain on muscle movement. To test the muscles movement and bilaterally strength. Evaluate the nature of resistance. |
Ask the patient to stand erect; observe from post-ant-lateral view Ask the patient to perform a movements (ROM) actively and with passive help. The patient should to move and flex the muscle under evaluation while you apply an opposite force to muscle movement. |
Shoulders have even contour, scapulae and iliac crest are level Muscles have symmetry and have equal sizes The muscle and bones are firm and not tender. No temperature abnormalities. No pain during palpation of bones and muscles. Skin tone is even without noticeable variations. The ROM is full for each joint. No pain on passive and active movement, deformity and crepitus. |
