What is the purpose of MS screening tests
To locate the tissue causing the pts complaint
Ask if this procedure causes or reproduces your symptoms?
Localize and characterize
Purpose of active ROM
To determine if the pt has limitations to motion due to their symptoms. Pt performs this procedure
Purpose of passive ROM
Check ligaments
Purpose of resistive ROM
Checks muscles and tendons
If symptoms are not recreated in a neural position, the process may be repeated w/ the muscle in a position of stretch
