What does the neuromuscular system review assess?

• A. Gross coordinated movements of gait, balance, transfers, transitions, locomotion, and the sensation of central and peripheral nerves
• B. Bone density and body composition
• C. Skin color and lesion assessment
• D. Reading ability and orientation

Answer: (A)

The neuromuscular system review focuses on how well the nervous system and muscles work together to produce movement and respond to sensory input. It assesses gross motor tasks like gait and balance, transitions and transfers, locomotion, and the sensation coming from central and peripheral nerves. This combination targets motor control, coordination, and sensory pathways that are essential for safe and effective movement.

Other options don’t fit because they involve different body systems: bone density and body composition relate to the skeletal and metabolic systems; skin color and lesions pertain to the integumentary system; reading ability and orientation reflect cognitive and perceptual function rather than neuromuscular performance.
