Normal findings during a lower leg assessment include full range of motion without pain, symmetrical strength in both legs, and no visible swelling or discoloration. Additionally, the skin should appear healthy, and circulation should be adequate. Understanding these normal findings helps you identify any issues that may require further investigation during a lower leg assessment.

Performing a lower leg assessment involves a systematic approach. Begin with a detailed history of the patient's condition, followed by a physical examination. Check for range of motion, strength, and any signs of swelling or discoloration. Utilizing tools and forms from US Legal can simplify documentation and ensure a comprehensive lower leg assessment.

To present a lower leg examination effectively, start by introducing the purpose of the assessment. Discuss the patient's history and any relevant symptoms they may have reported.
