Functional assessment is fundamental in chiropractic medicine for identifying biomechanical imbalances and movement dysfunctions. This book outlines a systematic approach to evaluating posture, gait, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and neuromotor control. It integrates functional testing with patient history to uncover underlying causes of pain and restricted movement. Chapters include region-specific assessments and correction strategies using therapeutic exercise and manual therapy. Visual demonstrations and clinical cases enhance practical application. The content is designed to support evidence-based chiropractic diagnosis and individualized rehabilitation planning.
