Musculoskeletal Exam There are so many moving parts-how am I going to remember them all?

Musculoskeletal Exam I was once a first year medical student, too. I was once a first year medical student, too. That may have been a long time ago….but That may have been a long time ago….but Consider yourself lucky. Consider yourself lucky.

Musculoskeletal Exam We never had standardized patients. We never had standardized patients. MSK information was a big black box. MSK information was a big black box. No one taught it because no-one felt comfortable doing it. No one taught it because no-one felt comfortable doing it.

Musculoskeletal Exam The best part about the MSK examination is that you really can touch all the parts. The best part about the MSK examination is that you really can touch all the parts. And you have a “normal” to compare it too (the other side). And you have a “normal” to compare it too (the other side).
6
Musculoskeletal Exam We will divide the examination into regions: We will divide the examination into regions: Spine, Upper Extremity and Lower Extremity. Spine, Upper Extremity and Lower Extremity. We will progress through inspection, palpation, range of motion, stability testing, and finally “special” tests We will progress through inspection, palpation, range of motion, stability testing, and finally “special” tests
