6. Inspection and Palpation in muscloskeletal assessment
Answer
Inspection and palpation of joints integrated with each body region
Observation of ROM as person proceeds through motions
Support each joint at rest. Muscles must be soft and relaxed to assess the joints under them
accurately. Take care when examining any inflamed area where rough manipulation could cause
pain and muscle spasm. To avoid this, use firm support, gentle movement, and gentle return to a
relaxed state.
Compare corresponding paired joints. Expect similarities of structure and function and normal
parameters for that joint.
7. Percussion in muscoskeletal
Answer
vAs with the percussion technique, the action takes place at your wrist. Strike a brief, well-
aimed blow and bounce up promptly; do not let the hammer rest on the tendon. It is the swing
of the hammer, not the strength of the strike, that gets the best result. Use the pointed end of the
reflex hammer when aiming at a smaller target such as your thumb on the tendon site; use the
flat end when the target is wider or to diffuse the impact and prevent pain.
