This session provides an overview of Musculoskeletal (MSK) examination, with an opportunity for active participation through practicing the movements and assessment of various joints. This session highlights a generalistic approach to MSK examination and briefly covers simple assessment of a range of joints, rather than being diagnostic for any specific joint.

 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the GALS assessment process

2. Demonstrate basic clinical assessment of arms, legs and spinal joints and movements.

3.Identify common MSK conditions and recognise red flags for referral
