臨床上の重要ポイント

  • Systematic examination order: Look (inspection/alignment), Feel (effusion/palpation), Move (active/passive ROM), and Special ligamentous tests.
  • Distal neurovascular competency (peripheral pulses, motor power, sensory distribution) must be documented in all trauma evaluations.
  • ClinIQ supports Ottawa Ankle and Knee rule calculators to reduce unnecessary radiation imaging.

1. Four Pillars of Musculoskeletal Examination

Orthopedic clinical documentation requires objective range of motion degrees, motor scoring via the MRC scale (0-5), and validated joint-specific stress tests.
