Mobility screening is a rehabilitation technique used to assess the range of motion, flexibility, and functional mobility in joints and muscles. It helps identify restrictions, stiffness, or imbalances that may cause pain, discomfort, or limited movement. Mobility screening is often used as part of a comprehensive assessment to develop targeted rehabilitation plans.

During mobility screening, healthcare providers assess the patient’s ability to move specific joints, such as the shoulders, hips, knees, or spine, and perform functional tasks like bending, twisting, and walking. The screening helps detect areas of limited movement or muscle tightness that may need to be addressed through therapy, exercises, or lifestyle modifications.

Mobility screening is essential for early detection of movement dysfunction, helping to prevent injury, improve mobility, and enhance overall functional capacity.
