Joint Mobility Assessment
- Joint mobility can be assessed by palpating the lateral surfaces of the joint while the patient moves it.
- Having the patient open and close the joint assists in the assessment.
- Stethoscopes or joint sound recording devices offer enhanced sensitivity.
- Increased detection by these devices may not always translate to clinically significant findings.
