Clinical assessment - ROM

[David McQuillan]

Hi all,

 

There’s been some confusion about what we’re expecting you to do in your clinical assessment for ROM.

 

It’s all fairly well laid out on the assessment schedule (attached)

 

In other words

·         We expect that you’ll do AROM as your intial screening assessment on the joint in the area of pain as well as the joint above & below within the same kinetic chain.

·         We then expect that you’ll follow this up with PROM & RMT on at least one joint that has been identified as restricted.

 

You are not expected to do ROM on every joint in the body.

 

Kind regards,
