Chapter 18 Musculoskeletal System Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

2 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Competencies Elicit a health history from a patient with a musculoskeletal chief complaint. Perform inspection and palpation of the musculoskeletal system. Describe the range of motion movements of the major joints. (continues) Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

3 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Competencies Measure range of joint motion with a goniometer. Assess muscle strength of the arms and legs using the muscle strength grading scale. Document the findings of the musculoskeletal assessment. Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

Assessment Equipment Goniometer Tape measure and felt tip marker Sphygmomanometer General approach Patient comfort Compare nonaffected to affected Proceed in cephalocaudal order Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

24 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
General Assessment Overall appearance Posture Gait and mobility Weight-bearing status Gait patterns Transfer ability (continues) Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

25 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
General Assessment Normal findings Height and weight are proportionate Full ROM Ambulate independently No structural defects Shoulders and hips are level Head and torso are upright Stable gait Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

26 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Inspection Muscle size and shape Hypertrophy Atrophy Involuntary muscle movements Limb circumference Joint contour and periarticular tissue (continues) Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

27 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Inspection Normal findings Symmetrical muscle contour No involuntary muscle movements Bilateral limb circumference is within 1–3 cm of each other Joints are flat when extended, and smooth/rounded during flexion No joint enlargement or deformity Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning

28 Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Palpation Muscle tone Measure Movement against resistance or gravity Joints Special techniques Range of motion Goniometer Muscle strength Scale Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
