AB A  thorough  knowledge  of  musculoskeletal  anatomy  is  essential  to  the  performance  of  an  accurate  and  meaningful  examination.  As  a  quick  reference,  an  atlas  should  be  near  at  hand  (or  only  a  few  computer  strokes  away).  Manifestations  that  are  elicited  objectively,  eg,  swelling,  warmth,  effusions,  or  clearly  limited  range  of  motion,  must  be  distinguished  from  more  subjective  findings  such  as  tenderness  and  pain  on  motion.
