Q

Basic Components of an Upper/Lower Quarter Screen

• (AROM/PROM) with overpressure
• Muscle testing ((dermatomes/myotomes)) > hold for _ seconds
• Sensation testing ((dermatomes/myotomes))
• Reflex testing

Neurologic Screen:

Motor: (muscle testing/sensation testing)
Sensory: (muscle testing/sensation testing)

A

AROM; 5; myotomes; dermatomes; muscle testing; sensation testing
