AB The  general  musculoskeletal  examination  (GMSE)  is  designed  to  build  directly  on  the  sequence  and  techniques  taught  in  the  screening  musculoskeletal  examination  (SMSE).  It  is  intended  to  provide  a  comprehensive  assessment  of  joint  inflammation  through  the  use  of  palpation  and  will  enable  you  to  recognize  the  important  physical  finding  of  joint  swelling,  essential  to  diagnosing  arthritis.  While  the  skills  involved  are  more  complex  than  those  of  the  SMSE,  the  proper  techniques  of  joint  palpation  can  be  mastered  on  normal  individuals.
