Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
surface anatomy structures to assess symmetry
ears, scapula, ribs, iliac crest, knees, feet
temperature skin receptors are most concentrated where
dorsum of hand
touch skin receptors are most concentrated where
pads of fingers
TART
tissue texture changes
asymmetry
restriction of motion
tenderness
somatic dysfunction
abnormal function of related components of the somatic system (SAM) and their related VLAN
acute texture words

chronic texture words
pale, cool, ropey, stringy, scar, doughy
appropriate touch protocol
explain to the patient “what, where, why”, ask their permission, then document in SOAP note
questions to ask yourself when assessing a joint
