    This document provides guidelines for assessing the musculoskeletal system including subjective and objective data to collect. It lists specific areas to inspect, palpate, and test range of motion and muscle strength for the joints and muscles of the head, neck, back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles, and toes. Instructions are given to review relevant health history, perform a general inspection of gait, posture, skin and extremities, and specifically palpate and assess range of motion and strength of the musculoskeletal system.

    Documentation of Musculoskeletal System


    Musculoskeletal - muscles developed without atrophy/hypertrophy. Arms & legs
    symmetric. No edema, varicosity's, or tenderness. Joints non-tender, without
    swelling, and with full ROM. Muscle tone & strength 5/5 bilaterally. Spine has full
    ROM and is without tenderness or deformities.
    Motor:
    No involuntary movements of extremities noted. Gait coordinated. Able to
    maintain balance with eyes closed (Romberg negative). Able to perform rapid
    coordinated movements with upper and lower extremities. All movements
    coordinated.
