• Resumen

  • Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems are common and often under-recognized. They cause significant morbidity and are often overlooked, particularly in patients with other co-morbid long-term conditions. Improving skills in the detection of MSK abnormalities can be achieved using a structured approach such as that set out in this article. Improving one's MSK examination and assessment skills will lead to greater confidence in one's diagnosis of MSK problems, and a greater likelihood of optimal patient management and enhanced quality of life.
