Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Range of motion is the best approach to determine joint mobility as it assesses the amount of movement that can occur at a joint in different directions. Gait and posture can provide information about musculoskeletal issues, but not specifically about joint mobility. Palpation of muscle tone can provide information about muscle tension, but not joint mobility.
