Q

What does the P in PART stand for?

A

Pain or tenderness

20
Q

What does the A in PART stand for?

A

Asymmetry or misalignment

21

A

Range of motion abnormality

22
Q

What does the T in PART stand for?

A

Tissue tone changes

23
Q

Which two components of PART are needed?

A

Any 2, but 1 must be A or R

24
Q

What is P?

A

Pain elicited during the course of the examination, described in terms of location, quality, and intensity

25
Q

Starred point in P

A

Pain during static palpation

26
Q

What is A?

A

Asymmetry or misalignment may be described at the regional and/or segmental level; Diagnostic imaging may be used

27
Q

Starred points in A

A

Regional (posture), local (static palpation)

28
Q

What is R?

A

Abnormal range of motion, instrument assisted, diagnostic imaging may be used

29
Q

What is T?

A

Described changes in tone of soft tissue

30
