2. Muscle Tone

Muscle tone is the amount of tension in a muscle at rest. It is important to assess
muscle tone as it can indicate muscle weakness, tightness, or spasm. Muscle
imbalances can lead to postural deviations and pain.

3. Joint Mobility

Joint mobility refers to the range of motion of a joint. It is important to assess joint

mobility as limited mobility can lead to compensations, muscle imbalances, and pain.
Joint mobility can be assessed through passive range of motion testing.

4. Gait Analysis
