Provides information regarding how the condition impacts the patient"s ability to perform relevant tasks; may be influenced by arm dominance. Provides a reference for symmetry, alignment, and colour of superficial tissues inspect both injured and non injured limbs. Provides a reference for symmetry of bones, alignment, tissue temperature, tissue density or other deformity, as well as the presence of increased tenderness. Provides a reference to identify impairments relating to available rom, strength, and pain with movement assessment.
