edema is often due to fluid and is indicated by indentations when
pressure is applied to the skin. Depending on the degree of fluid,
the indentation may be shallow or deep and last just a split second
or a minute or more. Pitting edema is graded 1+ to 4

4. Review the differences between Scoliosis, Lordosis, and Kyphosis

normal inward curvatures of the spine at the cervical and lumbar
regions, while kyphosis refers to the normal outward curvature of
the spine specifically at the thoracic region

5. Learn how to assess the resistance and range of motion when assessing
extremities. Understand the scale used to assess these findings
