American College of Emergency PhysiciansMusculoskeletal Exam Video Series
The ACEP Sports Medicine Section has created the following video tutorials to assist emergency physicians in their evaluation and diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions in the ED. These videos provide overviews of high-yield, ED-focused physical exams of the musculoskeletal system. They can be used for quick reference in the ED, or as an instructional module for emergency medicine residency programs. We hope that you will increase your confidence in managing musculoskeletal complaints with this resource.
