Neuromusculoskeletal Assessment

This chapter provides an overview of neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK) assessment tailored for Graduate Sports Rehabilitators (GSRs). It outlines a structured, evidence-informed approach to the clinical evaluation of musculoskeletal function, integrating subjective history, objective examination, and clinical reasoning. Emphasis is placed on functional assessment, differential diagnosis, and the integration of psychosocial factors influencing injury and recovery. This chapter also explores the role of technology in modern assessment and promotes reflective practise for continual professional development. By bridging theory with applied clinical skills, this chapter equips GSRs with the tools necessary for accurate diagnosis and effective rehabilitation planning in diverse sporting populations.
